Home / Australia, the movie / The Australia Way

The ‘Australia Way’ is a classic new journey through the heart of the Australian outback designed to put travellers amongst the setting and scenery of Baz Luhurman’s new epic movie, Australia.

From the vibrant and tropical harbour city of Darwin in the Northern Territory to the exotic pearling town of Broome in Western Australia, the ‘Australia Way’ is a journey through the landscape that inspired Luhrmann to create the story of English aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman), and a rough-hewn cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) who drive 1500 head of cattle across northern Australia's breathtaking landscape.

Experience the same outback regions as Nicole and Hugh along this 1875 km journey as it winds its way through the red escarpments, lush green waterholes and the wide open spaces of Australia’s north-west. Brimming with ‘true-blue’ characters and quaint country towns, massive cattle stations and steeped in ancient Aboriginal culture, there’s so much to see and do along the ‘Way’ that you’ll never run out of inspiration and things to try.

Home to spectacular and untamed country and the remarkable tales of Australia’s pioneers, the journey features some of the most unique natural wonders in the country including World Heritage-listed Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, Lake Argyle, the Bungle Bungle Ranges – the list goes on!

The ‘Australia Way’ provides travellers with the ‘real’ Australia experience – dramatic landscapes, the spirit of adventure, a colourful cast of outback characters, abundant wartime heritage, and rich indigenous culture.

For travellers wishing to emulate the experiences of the Australia movie, a journey along the ‘Australia Way’ will deliver on every expectation.
