The truck seen was actually a 1965 Army Truck. Three trucks were utilized for the production. One of the trucks took six weeks to build due to the number of modifications. One of the trucks had to be converted to diesel so it could drive through water for the river crossing sequences.
The windmill seen in this mini-series was located just outside of Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia.
The word 'Alice' in the title of this Australian mini-series refers to the country town of Alice Springs which is located in central Australia in the nation's Northern Territory.
This Australian mini-series was made and first broadcast about two years after its source novel of the same "Alice to Nowhere" name written by Evan Green had been first published in 1984.
According to 'Moran's Guide to Australian TV Series' (1993) by Albert Moran, ''the narrative follows the same geographic path as mailman Tom Kruze in John Heyer's great documentary classic of the same time, 'The Back of Beyond' [1954].''
