"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.

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"!
