"LOSE YOURSELF IN THE MOVIE. FIND YOURSELF IN THE COUNTRY."

VACATION SPECIALS INSPIRED BY "AUSTRALIA" THE MOVIE.

"Australia" has an amazing Aussie cast which also includes the country itself. Baz Luhrmann has lovingly filmed his epic romantic adventure in his own country which is as large as the United States and as diverse.  The movie was filmed in the Australian outback of the eastern Kimberley region of Western Australia; Darwin, Northern Territory; Bowen, Queensland; and in Sydney & Camden, New South Wales.

Kununurra and The Kimberley, Western Australia
 
Kununurra is the gateway to one of the world's last true wilderness areas and the place to go for an authentic outback adventure. Kununurra, which means 'big water' in the local Aboriginal language, sits as part of the stunning Kimberley region and is a place that will touch your soul and enliven your senses. Venture into red-earth country on a four wheel drive adventure, take a scenic flight over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways that permeate the region. Not to be missed is the Bungle Bungle Range in the World Heritage listed Purnululu National Park and Lake Argyle which is several times larger than Sydney Harbour.

Darwin, Northern Territory
Named after the scientist Charles Darwin, Australia's northern most capital is a lively and tropical harbourside city. With a rich and interesting history, Darwin's involvement in World War II is evident at the many preserved sites in and around the city. A culturally vibrant city, more than 50 nationalities make up its population of just over 100,000, including its traditional landowners, the Larrakia Aboriginal people. Darwin is also an excellent base from which to explore the internationally recognised World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, along with other unique natural attractions like Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi Islands and Arnhem Land.

Camden, New South Wales
The town of Camden, 62km west of Sydney, owes much to the lush grazing land which spreads along the banks of the Nepean River. At the beginning of the 19th century, wealthy colonist John Macarthur saw the opportunities here. He imported merino sheep from England, and grapevines from France, and built a successful wool and wine business. Camden flourished. Its main street provides an impressive view of the Gothic Revival church buildings and meticulously built Georgian-style homes that embodied the town's status.

Bowen, Queensland
Bowen is a picturesque seaside town on the Queensland coast, north of the Whitsunday Islands. It's a beachcomber's paradise, with seven palm-fringed beaches, and a reputation for magnificent, snorkelling, diving, sailing and fishing. The town is named after Queensland's first governor, Sir George Bowen and its remarkable past can be experienced today in its historic streetscapes. In the 1940s, Qantas ran commercial flying boats on its Kangaroo Route between Sydney and Darwin, stopping off at Bowen en-route for vital water and fuel supplies. It's where the "Bush meeets the Beach"!

Vaucluse, New South Wales
Strickland House in the Sydney harbour-side suburb of Vaucluse is an exceptional example of an 1850s Italianate-style mansion in a largely unaltered landscape setting. The picturesque site and general design of Strickland House represents the aspirations of wealthy nineteenth century Sydney society. It was built on land granted to William Charles Wentworth, who is considered the father of the first Constitution for New South Wales.
