The series was shot in northern Sydney, on then undeveloped [[Public land#Commonwealth countries|Crown land]] west of Namba Road now known as [[Waratah Park]]. Permission to film and build structures on the site was given by [[Warringah Council]].<ref>Warringah Shire Council Minutes Special Meeting 5 July 1983 p26</ref> Also necessary was the cooperation of the newly created [[NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service]], under government minister [[Tom Lewis (Australian politician)|Tom Lewis]], and the Ku-ring-gai Chase Trust to allow access to a further {{convert|500|acre|ha|0|order=flip}} within the adjacent [[Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park]].<ref name=nswshr-1944/> Following preparatory work, filming commenced in May 1967.

The ranger headquarters and residence was purpose-built for the series and used for both exterior and interior scenes. Power and water supply had to be connected and roads constructed, together with a helipad and helicopter-servicing area. Other national parks were also used for filming, as well as the streets and beaches of Sydney and surrounding districts. "The Australian bush provided an excellent scenic backdrop, which was much appreciated by local and overseas viewers alike."<ref name="Skippy" /><ref name="nswshr-1944" />
