* EnforcedMethodActing: All the actors playing police officers had to undergo academy training.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Because it was no longer the highest rating show in Australia the show was axed to afford Olympic and football coverage.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original premise of the series called for it to be set in a police station in suburban UsefulNotes/{{Melbourne}}, with a style more or less identical to that of British show ''Series/TheBill''. The genius moment came when one of the producers suggested turning this premise on its head: instead of being set in the city, why not have a city cop move to a country town, and finding that things are done differently than they are "in the big smoke"? This decision to set the series in a country town is arguably what made it stand out. Though, Mount Thomas made Melbourne look bigger than UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}}, UsefulNotes/{{Paris}} and UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, and had more crime than all three cities put together.
* YouLookFamiliar: Quite a few of the regular and recurring cast got their start as a one off character. Marcus Eyre, who was Luke Darcy's father, would come back as homicide detective Paul Donald. Jane Alsop, known for her portrayal as Jo Parish, first started as a woman who was used in a dating agency scam. Samantha Tolj was a guest star at least twice before securing the role of Kelly O'Rourke.
