The Digger’s Rest Crew will be waiting to hear the reviews of Baz Luhrmann’s Australia!  We are all looking forward to seeing the movie ourselves when it is released next week.

Digger's Rest crew

Well, signatures anyway…..We had the cast and crew of Luhrmann’s ‘Australia’ here for several weeks last year, and Hugh Jackman was good enough to put his name on our signing wall in the old stone homestead.  Hugh was at Digger’s Rest for several days during filming and lived up to his reputation as a friendly, down to earth Australian.  We found most of the cast and crew to be easy going and they seemed to enjoy their stay here at Digger’s, despite the dust and heat of the Kimberley.

Tourism Australia’s new advertising campaign includes a recently released advertisment that was filmed on our doorstep, only a few kilometres from Digger’s Rest.  We have the same spectacular views of the Cockburn Ranges, which appear in the ‘Boab ad’, and are lucky enough to see the sunset over them at the end of every day.
