ProductionThe film was made with the co-operation of the Australian government.[3][4] It was mostly shot in and around Sydney with some scenes at an aboriginal mission at Brewarrina in northern New South Wales.[5][6] ReleaseThe film was previewed in Melbourne on 18 October 1915. The Winner stated that: The picture is a distinctly good example of what can be accomplished in locally-made films. The story is interesting... and has the right grip for picture purposes. Some fine natural scenery has been secured for many of the sections, and the Sydney-Emden fight has been cleverly worked out. On the whole, Mr Monte Luke, the director, and all associated with him in the production, have every reason to be proud of their work.[7] However the film was not a success at the box office.[2][5] For the Honour of AustraliaThe movie was combined with another film, How We Beat the Emden (1915), and the documentary How We Fought the Emden, to make a new movie for release in Britain called For the Honour of Australia (1916). A copy of this survives today.[8] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1584480 |title=Classified Advertising. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne |date=9 December 1915 |accessdate=13 June 2012 |page=14 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 2. ^1 Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production, Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p 55 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article45369262 |title=THE DANDIES. |newspaper=The Barrier Miner |location=Broken Hill, NSW |date=2 May 1916 |accessdate=13 June 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article45336823 |title=SYDNEY-EMDEN FIGHT" AT THE ROYAL. |newspaper=The Barrier Miner |location=Broken Hill, NSW |date=4 May 1916 |accessdate=13 June 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^1 Marsden, Ralph.
