BigPond telecommunications company in Australia were the first in the world to release the teaser trailer of Australia. Now they’re back with a whole sub site dedicated to the film and some excellent content!
The sub site features cast and crew information; we’re given the names of characters played by some supporting actors in the film. Visitors can download wallpapers, browse an image gallery or win a trip to Wrotham Park Lodge located in outback Queensland.
However most pleasing to the modern day fan is a series of exclusive videos. Sure some of the content is taken from the pre-existing Apple podcasts, but they have so much more. A five video feature includes interviews with Luhrmann, Kidman, and Jackman. We’re given a multitude of new images, each more exciting than the next. One video in particular is very well put together and details Australia’s history in dealing with some real issues in the film such as World War II and The Stolen Generation.
At this stage it appears access to the videos is limited to those living in Australia. However australiamovie.net has been able to make a substantial amount of screencaps so that our international visitors may share the excitement.

The November 2008 edition of Elle Magazine features a stylish looking Nicole Kidman on their cover, with a substantial interview and array of glamour shots within.
The accompanying interview takes place in Nicole’s adopted hometown of Tennessee. “There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living—nature and family. There’s something very…there’s safety in that.” Which is what her character in this month’s romantic epic Australia comes to realize. “She’s so tightly wound and incapable,” Kidman says. “And she’s never had love. But she learns to believe and trust through the nature of the landscape and the adventure of what’s happening to her, and the country wears her down and takes away the facade. And she’s finally able to become a living, breathing, fully evolved person. She becomes of the earth.”
Shot over the course of nine months, the film is ultimately a love triangle, though not one we’ve come to expect.
Read more on what Nicole has to say about filming Australia, her new home in Tennessee and becoming a mother for the third time; and purchase the issue this month at news stands.

Filming of pick-up shots began at Fox Studios today. Hugh Jackman and stunt doubles for Jackman and Kidman were all in attendance to re-create pieces of scenes shot in the outback of Australia earlier this year.
With Nicole Kidman and family arriving in Sydney last week, it is rumoured that she was at work on one of the indoor Fox Studio sets. Sources say that a Bazmark studio car was on standby outside her Sydney mansion, equipped with a baby capsule in the back seat – indicating Kidman is likely to take her new daughter with her.
