Kidman and Jackman at NAIDOC Ball

While filming in Kununurra in early September 2007, the two leading stars of Australia attended the inaugral NAIDOC Ball, which stunned the locals and made the event one of the most high profile gatherings of the year. Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban were the first to arrive, followed by Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness (pictured with local resident Kenneth Torres). “It started off fairly low-key but suddenly everyone started whispering and pointing at the door and people realised Nicole was in the room,” said local resident Nathen Dyer. “At first, they weren’t sure whether to go up to them but when a few people introduced themselves, everyone rushed over hoping to shake hands.”
