stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Australia centers on an English aristocrat Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole 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 2000 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.

Advantages: Good drama and fab action scenes.. Disadvantages: Poor acting..
work would surely see a resemblance between her character in ?Australia? (Lady Jane Ashley) and other films she has done. I felt that Kidman simply re-hashed one of her earlier performances - or perhaps merged a few of them together - and regurgitated it somehow in this film. Hmmm.
Another thing that I couldn?t believe was Kidman?s accent in this film. She is obviously an Australian actress, but is playing a wealthy, upper-class English woman (which makes me wonder why the directors just didn?t employ an English actress to play the lead female role) and she does so badly. Her accent is so difficult to understand at times that I had to pause the DVD at least four or five times throughout the movie so that I could turn on the subtitles to see what she was saying. At other points in the film I found her accent was distracting and this ...

To the east, Mount Lofty and the Cleland Wildlife Park offer good walking and spectacular views across Adelaide to the ocean beyond. To the south, long and almost deserted beaches stretch past the mouth of the Murray River towards Kangaroo Island. And to the north-east lies Australia's most important wine-growing area, centred on the Barossa Valley.
Under the guidance of our Australian friends, my wife and I saw - and enjoyed - all three during our short stay in Adelaide. Among them, though, I would without hesitation recommend the Barossa Valley as providing the best combination of cultural and scenic interest, as well as the tastiest refreshment along the way ...
