Filming and Recording (AUS/NZ)
Australia and NZ have provided a location and/or subject matter for at least two music videos, an album, a concert film and a movie among other items...

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence Behind the scenes of Bowie's 1982 War Drama filmed in New Zealand and The Cook Islands.

Let's Dance Behind the scenes of Bowie's 1983 music video shot around Sydney and the rural outpost of Carinda, NSW.

Coming Soon... When time allows, BDU will be expanded with dedicated sections on...

China Girl - the 1983 music video shot in Sydney. The video featured New Zealand actress/model Geeling Ng who became his girlfriend. View the original clip here. Real Wild Child - the Australian rock n roll classic as recorded by Iggy Pop and David Bowie in 1986. To this day, the accompanying video is used as the sound and video bite for the long standing Australian video program RAGE. We also have an exclusive contact with the family of the late, great Johnny O'Keefe. Glass Spider - the concert video was filmed in Sydney over two nights. View samples here provided by BDU member RCandice. Tin Machine II - the second 'Tin Machine' album was recorded at Studio 301 in Castlereigh Street, Sydney. At least one song from the sessions appears to be Sydney inspired and another, Indonesian inspired. A mass of outtakes from the Australian sessions appeared on the internet a couple of years ago. Check out a fan made video for the song 'It's Tough' right here. The Crossing - Bowie's involvement in the soundtrack of this Australian film. The Delinquents - Another Australian soundtrack but with speculated Bowie involvement.
