Aint it Cool have the scoop on this one, via The Man Who Japed. The tip-off came via the Sydney Herald that an overnight shoot would be taking place in Federal Park on Friday 29th of February.
The set was pretty cool. They had sealed off a fairly large section of the park and done it up as a carnival with lots of bright lights, some rides and a Ferris Wheel and various attractions. There were a lot of extras milling around in typical carnival attire such as mimes, clowns etc.
[...]
We saw someone who looked like Will.i.am from the Black Eyes Peas wearing a purple jacket and sporting an afro walking around the carnival set and conferring with the director, but what I found most interesting was the set dressing of the sideshow attraction. There was one that had a picture of a man with a beard in a top hat called Dr Freak advertising his freak show with a woman called ‘Elastina’ who I assume is going to be a mutant. There was also a three headed baby. It’ll be interesting to see how this ties in to the film.
In this first image you can see the references to Dr Freak and the three headed baby on the posters to the left, and the Elastina poster can be spotted in the third picture just sticking out from behind the ticket booth.

The Press have revealed that the Wolverine movie, via Woz Productions, has recently applied for consent to film at a number of specific locations down under, these include “Arcadia Station, near Glenorchy, [...] Deer Park Heights, on the Frankton Arm [...] Kingston Beach, Milford Sound, Rees Valley, Skippers Canyon and Naseby Forest.” For the dates between November 5 and February 28, time enough for both construction and filming.
Spoilers ahead:
It appears that in this application permission has been asked for “a barn and farmhouse [to] be built [...] with the final scene involving the destruction of the barn using explosives.”
Further investigative work has proven fruitful, an environmental effects assessment has revealed further details concerning this purported scene;
“The premise is that a military sniper shoots a rocket launcher at the barn, narrowly missing Wolverine but exploding the building. [...] This will be a one-off event, with four cameras located around the set to capture the action.”
