Kidman Says Kununurra ‘breathtakingly beautiful’

Last month, Nicole Kidman was interviewed by The Kimberley Echo about her impressions of Kununurra. Kidman was full of praise for the region.

“This is a magnificent part of Australia. Like most people growing up in the cities on the east coast, I knew the Kimberley region was big and impressive, but until I got here and started to experience it I really didn’t understand the scale and wonder of it all. I feel privileged to be here working on the film ‘Australia’, because many of our scenes have been shot in the early morning or at dusk when the colours are so dramatic. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and I’ll remember its glory forever. The sunrises and sunsets are a spiritual experience and I am in love with boab trees now.”

Kidman also said that her role as Lady Sarah Ashley was a challenging one, “Yes it is a challenging role. As well as wearing the constricting costumes of the period, I have to maintain an English accent, do a lot of horse riding and have had to learn to muster cattle. But it has all been an adventure which I will always remember and which is ultimately what I am seeking from my life - adventure and exploration of this beautiful world.”
