The Lighthorsemen (1987) was filmed in Australia, primarily on location in Victoria and South Australia. Details:

• Filming locations in Victoria included St. Kilda, Geelong, and surrounding areas near Melbourne. These sites stood in for various desert/oasis settings and coastal scenes.

• South Australian locations included Hawker (the outback town area) and Port Lincoln, with desert-like environments used to simulate Middle Eastern settings. The Beersheba/Desert sequences and Egyptian village depictions were recreated on SA locations and sets, later rebuilt after storm damage.

• Some production work also occurred around the Hawker region in South Australia, with additional shooting in regional South Australia to represent the Gaza/Egypt landscapes.

If you’d like, I can pull exact shooting dates, the specific Australian towns used for each scene, or confirm which locations correspond to particular sequences (e.g., Beersheba battle scenes vs. village sets).
