See much more of Sydney than you ever thought possible and enjoy it as part of either a small friendly tour group or a private charter. We then got to the second location which was the cafe or "Pier Diner" on the show. We were hoping to get a bite to eat but their kitchen was closed so only had coffee available. As ye have it advertised that there would be places to pick up lunch on the way but clearly that was wrong also. One of the character's most noted traits is his use of Australian slang and bush expressions, including "flamin galah", "stone the flamin' crows", and "strike me roan".
He also owns a bait shop and takes part in recreational fishing. Meagher often changes dialogue to suit Alf's speech. In April 2010, it was announced Meagher was taking a break from Home and Away, so he could travel to London to star in the West End production of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Meagher said " have very generously allowed me to do Priscilla in the West End from 20 September roughly until early March." Meagher returned to the West End in October 2011. However, the actor, whose contract was up for renewal in 2012, said he was committed to staying in Home and Away because he still enjoyed the role of Alf.

In 2010, a video featuring a parody version of the character was created and posted online by an artist known as "Mr Doodleburger". Alf decides to visit the Canberra war memorial with some students when he realises they do not care about ANZAC Day. As he looks around the memorial, he starts to suffer flashbacks to his time in Vietnam. Later that night, the students and Alf sleep outdoors in trenches as part of the war experience. Alf continues to suffer flashbacks and wanders off by himself, before collapsing.
Meagher has stated that Alf's most memorable storyline is when he develops a brain tumour. He had to film the scenes twice, once with his co-star Nunn and the other without. Meagher holds a Guinness World Record as the longest-serving actor in an Australian serial for portraying Alf since 1988. As of 2011 he is the only remaining original cast member still present. During flashbacks to the character's past, Alf was portrayed by Max Buckley and Robert Jago respectively.

The tour allows fans from all over the World to connect with their favourite show and experience the iconic outdoor locations featured in the hit TV program.

In Catherine Deveny's book "It's not my fault they print them" she joked that she was distressed after watching three episodes of Home and Away and not hearing Alf say "flaming mongrels". Virgin Media have also agreed he is "lover of stereotypical Aussie slang", stating "Stone the flamin' crows!" has been one of his typical lines. They said he portrays the persona in Alf and brands him a popular character. Alf grew up in Summer Bay and took an interest in business. His father Gordon and Scottish grandfather Angus also lived in the Bay.
Alf attends Owen's funeral and when he sees his grandson, he is tempted to approach him, but he decided to take Morag's advice and wait. Alf's first on-screen relationship is with Ailsa Hogan . Writers decided that they pair would marry early on.
For his portrayal of Alf, Meagher won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television in 2010.

Guests will be able to re-live some of their favourite scenes from the series, whilst soaking up the Summer Bay lifestyle and enjoying the scenery along the stunning coastal roads of Sydney’s breathtaking Northern Beaches.
My friend and I attended one of the tours with Paul as the tour guide. Paul was funny, enthusiastic and shared a lot of knowledge and history of the local areas in which we passed a long the way that was insightful and interesting. Paul remained positive and still made the tour fun and exciting even though the weather wasn't the best and we were lucky enough to see some of the cast of Home and Away filming. Overall was a great day, and definitely recommend Flamin' Galah Tours to family and friends planning on visiting Sydney. As there is no filming that day, a famous Home and Away actor will be travelling on the tour bus and available for questions, pictures, merchandise signing and more. You'll see all the same sights as the "Filming Very Likely" tour, but you'll also get quality time (approx. 1.5 hrs) with an actor.
Alf was created as one of the show's eighteen original characters. Meagher originally auditioned for the role of Tom Fletcher, before being cast as Alf. He made his first appearance during the pilot episode broadcast on 17 January 1988. As of 2017, Meagher is the sole remaining original cast member and he holds a Guinness World Record for being the longest-serving actor in an Australian serial.
Would not have missed it for the world and the guides were quite happy to help take photos and the actors themselves were obliging as well. A brilliant afternoon if you get a chance don’t miss it. We had awesome weather and actually filming taking place at Palm Beach for our Home and Away tour - everything you could want for this tour. The tour guide/driver was fantastic and overall I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Location tours of Home and Away allow fans from all over the World to connect with their favourite show and experience the iconic outdoor locations featured in the hit TV program. On board, fans will be able to capture once in a life time photo opportunities, whilst expert guides share their extensive Home and Away knowledge.

There was filming taking place and we saw some cast members from a distance but the tour didn’t have any organised way of meeting them or getting photos which was a pity. The whole area is beautiful so I if I was back again I would rent a car and drive up there myself. So very lucky to have 5 actors present for filming today and it was an awesome experience . Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly and the group we were a part of was fun and when jake aka Robbo came on the bus we were all screaming like school girls .
