Australia Update

Feature News

Baz Luhrmann's new feature 'Australia' has started filming in Sydney this week. The film stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.

Plot Outline from IMDB.

Luhrmann's film is set in northern Australia prior to World War II and centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
