The very first official picture of Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley has now been revealed. The image originally featured with a Townsville Bulletin article, a scanned copy of which can be found in our Gallery section. We would assume that the ‘look’ seen here is one which Lady Ashley adopts when she goes on the cattle drive across the country with Hugh Jackman’s drover.

BowenGirl has kindly provided us with even more exclusive location photos from Bowen. Check out our Gallery section for the images! Filming is set to begin in Bowen on 10 or 11 May, and the excitement is reaching fever pitch! Mike Brunker, the mayor of Bowen, has said, “A lot of people are coming in to take photos … coming down from Townsville and all over the place. People are coming in on their holidays.” And Bowen Tourism Manager, Therese Saad, has said, “The excitement now is building because it’s getting closer and closer to that time and already we have many, many, many people visiting the town just to have a look at the sight alone so, yes, we’ve got the Baz buzz going I suppose you could say.”

Last month, Baz Luhrmann gave an audio interview discussing 11-year-old Brandon Walters. In the interview, Luhrmann revealed that Walters will play the Aboriginal boy Nullah, who lives on Lady Ashley’s cattle station and becomes a central figure in the relationship between Lady Ashley and Hugh Jackman’s cattle drover. Luhrmann has described Walters’ role as substantial, and feels that because he hasn’t acted before, he will bring something unique to the role. The audio will be added to our Media section soon, but in the meantime, click on the link below to listen to Luhrmann’s informative interview.
