Rough Diamonds is a 1994 Australian film directed by Donald Crombie. It was the first lead role in a feature for Jason Donovan.

Production

Donald Crombie was inspired to make the film while filming The Irishman in north Queensland in 1977. He saw a farmer, who owned 80,000 hectares of beef country and on paper was a millionaire, working on a council road gang to make money. He wrote this up as a social drama for Film Australia to star Michele Fawdon, but it was never made.

A number of years later Crombie was approached by Damien Parer, who wanted to make features in Queensland and was looking for projects; Crombie showed him his treatment and they developed it into a more populist film. The farmer who needed money became a singer who had a romance with a girl singer and saves his farm on the country and western circuit.

Craig McLachlan was originally going to star but he dropped out to do another job and Jason Donavan was cast instead. The film was financed by Beyond Films and Southern Star Entertainment with finance from the Film Finance Corporation and Film Queensland. It was mostly shot on location in Boonah and Toogoolawah Queensland.
