The DVD was filmed by Srial Katunayake and most of the location scenes include beautiful scenery from various parks and other places of interest in Melbourne.

The songs were 'Archchi' and Kurunegala and while in Melbourne with his band Dinkum he recorded two other songs which were written by Desmond Kelly 'Sweeter than Springtime' and 'Call Me When You Are Lonely' which became quite popular with the Sri Lankans.
