Australia!!

Just got back from Australia tonight. Unfortunately, not the real Australia, but the reel one.
What a great Western, War, love story. Lovely Nicole Kidman, Lovely Hugh Jackman. Lots of horses running, cattle running, people running. Hugh Jackman running.
I was amazed to discover that the movie ran almost three hours. (I didn't do my homework to read up on this movie--except I knew it starred Hugh Jackman.)
I loved the costumes--the ladies wore their hats and gloves properly. It was a joy to see them. The plot had a few holes, a number of funny lines, and a properly sad interlude.
They credited all kinds of people, place, and things, but no librarians. Even Miss Kidman's luggage got a credit!
