"Australia" starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman premiered here in Oz last night.

It's already had rave reviews, so I certainly hope neither you nor I will be disppointed when we finally get to see the film.

I haven't had the opportunity to see it yet, as it was only shown in Sydney and in the country towns where parts of the film were recorded.

FYI... when you get to see the movie... there's a part where they drive the cattle to a small country town, and thence to the cattle sale yards........ that part was filmed in Bowen. Bowen is a very small town in north east Australia, in the state of Queensland ... and just happens to be the town where my sister lives.

Here's a teeny little preview for you.....
