The movie "The Dry" was filmed primarily in the quiet agricultural town of Beulah in the southern Mallee region of Victoria, Australia. The filming also included nearby locations such as the towns of Hopetoun, Brim, and Minyip, all within Victoria's rural Wimmera and Mallee regions. These locations provided the semi-arid, drought-stricken backdrop central to the story. Other filming sites included local farms, railway tracks, paddocks, and weathered town buildings in these areas, which enhanced the film's atmospheric portrayal of rural Australian life.
The filming aimed to capture authentic Australian life in these small towns, contributing significantly to the local economy and involving community participation. The town of Beulah was used as the fictional town Kiewarra in the film.
