Filming for an upcoming episode revolving around riverside towns.
The episode is set to air on May 1, with Brodie Harper hosting the Berrigan segment of the show.
It will highlight the top spots to visit on an ‘ultimate road trip’ through the Berrigan Shire.
Filming started early Monday morning at Tocumwal Aviation Museum, followed by the Tocumwal WAAF Creek Walk.
The crew then made their way to Tocumwal Golf and Bowls Club, before heading to the unique Berrigan Bookshop.

The day finished off at Sporties in Barooga, for a bit of mini golf.
Berrigan Shire Council economic development manager Merran Socha said she hopes the episode will bring great exposure to the shire.
“We hope it will raise awareness to the region,” said Ms Socha.
“What we are trying to do is encourage people, especially those in Melbourne and regional Victoria, to be confident to cross the border again.
“Tourism has had a tough two years, so now it’s time to try all different methods to get things happening and let people know we are back in business.”
Berrigan Shire Council partnered with Rochester Business Network, Edward River Council and Swan Hill Incorporated to have the show film in the region.
“Rochester Business Network was the driving force behind the episode, but they needed support and it seemed like a really great opportunity to be a part of,” said Ms Socha.
Ms Socha said working with the crew and Ms Harper was a delight.
“They were such a lovely group, and very professional,” she said.
“The filming was very organised, they knew what they wanted to get and didn’t rush anything.
“It was a long day of filming for the small segment, but it was well worth it.”
Postcards was in Rochester on Tuesday, then continued to Deniliquin on Wednesday and finished up at Swan Hill Thursday last week.
