Production

Greenhide was Charles Chauvel's second film, following The Moth of Moonbi (1926), and his final silent film. Chauvel scouted his leading lady, then Elsie May Wilcox, after seeing her in a stage musical called Crackers at the Cremorne Theatre in Brisbane, Queensland. Though she was reluctant at first to audition, Chauvel convinced her to perform a screentest, and ultimately offered her the role.

Location filming took place at Walloon Station in Dawson Valley, Queensland. It was loaned to the production by EJ Shaw.

The production encampment, a collection of tents accommodating 20 people, was informally named "Camp Greenhide" by locals. The producers were at Walloon Station filming the production in June 1926. Filming took about a month on location.

The unit moved to Brisbane in late July 1926 and interio filming took place in a studio at Oxford House, Ann St, Brisbane. Chauvel played a phonograph recording of "In a Monastery Garden" to induce realistic tears from Elsa Chauvel without the need to use glycerine drops. The tennis court scenes were shot at the Indooroopilly House of Mr and Mrs Ross Monro.
