NARNIA
The Dawn Treader boat from Narnia was an incredible display of quality workmanship and size with the boat having to be built in Stage 8 in sections. The different sections of the boat were then transported to Cleveland Point in South East Queensland where it was then rebuilt on a large rotational concrete plate and gimble system.
It was then dismantled and transported back to Village Roadshow Studios and reinstalled in Stage 5 – unfortunately, the boat was that big, the head and the tail could not be put back on as the 15.3 m (50ft) stage was not high enough.
FUN FACTS

Stage 8 had a mythical forest and the Main Tank was used for a row boat sequence.
