Lose yourself in the movie. Find yourself in Australia.

In the movie the landscape becomes its own character, inspiring viewers to reconnect with their spirit of romance and love of adventure in a way that only Australia can. Shot on location in Darwin, Sydney, Kimberley, and Bowen, people get a sense of the dramatic and rugged landscape and spirit of its friendly locals.

When it comes to films, Sydney really knows how to roll out the red carpet. Fox studios and amazing locations make it a popular destination for blockbuster movies like The Matrix and Moulin Rouge! Strickland House, which stretches out over 24 acres of picturesque gardens and grounds along Sydney’s harbour-side suburb Vaucluse, provides visitors with an unforgettable experience. For the film the house and it’s surroundings were transformed into “Darwin Government House.”

Bowen is a picturesque seaside town on the Queensland coast, north of the Whitsunday islands. With seven award-winning palm-fringed beaches, Bowen has proved it’s more than just the home of famous fruit when it hosted Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman for the movie. When you walk through Bowen you feel like you stepped back in time and most of Bowen’s landmarks were used as stand-ins for 1940’s Darwin.

A vibrant and tropical harbour city with a rich history, Darwin is home to people from more than 60 different nationalities, including its traditional owners, the Larrakia aboriginal people. One of the city’s most significant sites, stokes Hill Wharf, was used as the only real location, and provided the backdrop for some of the film’s pivotal scenes. The film features the top end’s breathtaking scenery and highlights the Japanese bombing of Darwin during World War II, an often forgotten but fascinating episode in Australian history.

Kununurra, which means ‘big water’ in the local aboriginal language is a three hour flight north of Perth and the gateway to Western Australia’s east Kimberley – one of the world’s last true wilderness areas. The movie features the region’s sizzling red soil, wide open blue skies and rugged bush scenery. Working cattle stations, the sandstone escarpments of the Cockburn Range and striped beehive-like mounds of the Bungle Bungle Range in World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park were some of the filming locations across the Kimberley.
