Mike O'Reilly is a creative script writer for several independent Film & Video companies, including Apricot Film & Television, a regionally based company in Victoria, which has a great reputation for corporate productions on subjects relating to agriculture, natural resource management, construction engineering and the mining industry.

For the 50th Anniversary of the devastating 1956 River Murray Floods, we collaborated with the Murray Darling Association to create a historic production featuring archival film images and dramatized re-enactments to present this incredible national disaster to modern-era viewers during celebrations at towns along the Murray and Darling Rivers. As a boat owner at Goolwa, at the end of our great river, Mike had a personal interest in this project. He is a competitive racing member of the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club.

This original DVD has been a 'sell out' product and is still in demand. It has also featured on national TV programs.
