Filming had occurred from 15 January to 15 February 1996 with Scott Hartford-Davis directing. A reviewer with VPRO determined, "It is clichd because it contains the usual racist attitude of white Australians towards their indigenous people." The telemovie was proposed as the first instalment of a 'Natural Justice' trilogy, featuring the character, Asta Cadell. Both 'Natural Justice: The Mad Hatters of Mount Manjara' and 'Natural Justice: Devil and the Deep Blue Sea', were in production during 1997.
