A fire broke out on the set of “Ocean Girl” on 27 November, 1995. The fire started when a light bulb exploded, and caused $A1.5 million worth of damage to Studio C studios in Port Melbourne, Victoria. According to a witness, the fire started at 2.00 pm.

An “Ocean Girl” soundtrack album has been released in Australia. (Write to Stephen if you want to order one.)
