The Man From Snowy River was shot in the High Country of Victoria rather than the Snowy Mountains, for logistical reasons. The beautiful and rugged landscapes became a major part of the film's success.

Keith Wagstaff was nominated for Best Achievement in Cinematography at the 1982 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards for his work on the film.
