It was the only movie Gavin made for the Australian Photo-Play Company, and was the last of four he had made in association with Stanley Crick and Herbert Finlay before setting up his own company in July 1911. The movie was announced as being completed and available for screening by July 1911, but does not appear to have been released until the following year. Release
During a screening in Toowoomba an Irish member of the audience took exception to a scene where a convict was being flogged and attacked the screen before being guided back to his seat. References
