Australia
Australia
Being Aussie myself I could sit here and give you MANY reasons why you should visit Australia. However, this movie does just that. Australia is about a woman (Nicole Kidman) who travels from Britain to inspect a cattle ranch she has inherited. Teaming up with the local drover (the incredibly good looking Hugh Jackman) they set out on a cattle drive across hundreds of miles of harsh terrain to save her ranch. This is an all round great movie. It's beautifully shot and it really does capture the real beauty of the Australian outback.
