Thank you for that link, the show was excellent :)
I shall do something I very rarely do; use some of my precious bandwidth to watch the other five episodes.
Where is the elevated cliff/ocean road shown in the title sequence?

Hi Mike, it looks very much like 'Sea Cliff Bridge' between Sydney and Wollongong on the East Coast.
I have driven both ways and walked both ways a few moons back. When I did the walk I put a padlock on the rail supports in memory of my late wife, as did thousands of other people. They have all been removed now and it is forbidden to do it.
A very interesting road, especially to walk.
Keep Safe out there.

Just off topic for a sec, if you google "images of locks on Sea View Bridge" there are heaps of photos of all the locks placed by people, Doug. There must be hundreds of locks placed there.
Now back on topic, that was your fault Doug!

The Sea Cliff Bridge is just north of Wollongong between the two small towns of Clifton and Coalcliff. The road is called (Grand Pacific Drive) Lawrence Hargrave Drive - two names because it adopts a local name as it passes through towns.
It replaced the original road that was cut into the side of a sheer cliff that fell away sometime in the past - you can just make out where the road used to be on the cliff face.
As Dougwe says, it is a great walk across with views over the rocky base and the ocean. Driving isn't so good as you cannot stop to take in the view - parking is only on the southern end.
It you are ever in the Wollongong area make sure you do a trip across it.

Hi all have just watched the 6 part series "GREYNOMADS " on you tube they run for about 8 mins each ,
very funny.Stars Steve Bisley and Kerry Armstrong.You may relate to some of the characters in the show.
