The Nala Stone Men is a location in the TV thriller The Tourist. Several crude but atmospheric stone sculptures resembling human forms which are glimpsed in photos early on, and which go on to play an important role towards the end of Series 1. The arrangement of their legs looks somewhat like smaller versions of the famous Stonehenge trilithons with extra stones stacked on top to form their bodies. As far as I can ascertain they are purely fictional and were created for the TV show.
I don't know the location of where the Stone Men were constructed for filming, or anything remains of them - do you? Please leave a comment if you do and I will update the location on our map.
For this reason I have chosen a well known lookout spot in the Flinders Ranges which might be a good starting point. Stokes Hill Lookout is accessed approximately 20km north of the Wilpena Pound Resort turn off on the Flinders Ranges Way.
The Tourist was written by Jack and Harry Williams (The Missing, Baptiste, Liar), the story follows a Northern Irishman who wakes up in the Australian Outback with amnesia following a car crash. As he tries to piece his life together, he quickly realises someone is after him and wants him dead.
Where was the TV thriller The Tourist filmed?
Australian mountain range Flinders Ranges features in The Tourist, with the production building a petrol station in that part of the outback.
Located approximately 125 miles north of Adelaide, the range stretches over 430km, with parts of the land being given protected area status including the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park and the Mount Remarkable National Park.
The South Australian town of Peterborough provided a backdrop for some episodes of The Tourist, located just off of the Barrier Highway. The town is mostly remote and sparsely populated, providing an unforgiving landscape as the perfect setting for a man struggling with amnesia.
The Tourist locations: Is Burnt Ridge a real place?
Much of the action in the BBC drama The Tourist centres around an area called Burnt Ridge. In fact, Burnt Ridge is a fictional town in South Australia.
With many thanks to Radio Times - more filming locations for The Tourist are described in their article: http://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/the-tourist-bbc-one-filming-locations/
