Rough Diamonds is a 1994 Australian film.

Production

Donald Crombie was inspired to make the film while filming The Irishman in north Queensland in 1977. He saw a farmer, who owned 80,000 hectares of beef country and on paper was a millionaire, working on a council road gang to make money. He wrote this up as a social drama for Film Australia but it was never made. It then envolved into a more populist film.[1]

The film was financed by Beyond Films and Southern Star Entertainment with finance from the Film Finance Corporation and Film Queensland. It was mostly shot on location in Boonah Shire, Queensland.[1]
