Faraway Downs Goes Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness

Baz Luhrmann has unleashed a pink spotlight over the country by illuminating the set [click for larger] of his motion picture Australia to support breast cancer research and the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual Pink Ribbon Campaign.

The mythical homestead ‘Faraway Downs’ featured in the film, and housed on Stage 7 at Sydney’s Fox Studios, forms part of the 2007 Estée Lauder Global Illumination program. Since this project was launched by Evelyn Lauder in 2000 hundreds of famous landmarks in over 40 countries have been lit pink to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness of the disease.
