    Oprah Winfrey.

 

  • "The majesty of vast desert landscapes splaying out into the distant edges of the frame reminds you every few minuets that this harsh, enigmatic, brutally gorgeous continent really is like nowhere else on earth"... More >
    Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide.

 

  • "Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman may be heralded as the film's stars, but the real star of Australia is the landscape. There is nothing like the majesty of a herd of wild brumbies galloping across the dusty plains…The dazzling rock formations, the arid earth, the contrasting waterways and the glorious sunsets"...

    Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile.

 

  • "Australia is everything you'd expect: it looks beautiful, the local fauna and flora are on show for international audiences; the exorbitant budget has resulted in a number of stirring, eye popping set pieces; the performances from the massive local cast are strong and full bodied. 'Australia' is a stunning experience, and one to be cherished"... More >
    Erin Free, Film Ink.

    - Amie Meehan, LiveNews Journalist.

 

  • "During our days in the Kimberley, we'd be shooting in this extraordinary heat and asking ourselves, 'Can we really go on?' But every sunset brought a transformation from brutality to beauty. When the stars come out and the air cools, you forgive it all and it fills you with life. It’s like you're in a dream"... More >
    Baz Luhrmann, The Star online

 

  • "The beauty of the Kimberley and Northern Australia on the screen, the way it has been shot with absolute clarity and depth, and just the majesty of the Australian landscape; wonderful"... More >
    Peter Garret, Minister for Environment, Heritage and the Arts, 'Australia' Red Carpet Premier, Sydney

 

  • "I saw [Australia] last night so I'm back for round two. It is amazing, words can't describe it; it really is a masterpiece. And it is so emotional as well; you experience so many highs and lows with this movie. It’s just beautiful, the cinema photography is wonderful and I think tourism will go through the roof"... More >
    Jackie O, Radio Presenter, 'Australia' Red Carpet Premier, Sydney
