Jacob’s Creek has partnered with AUSTRALIA, the new Baz Luhrmann film, as the exclusive global wine partner and to celebrate this Jacob’s Creek hosted a gala screening in Movies @ Dundrum and post screening party in Harvey Nichols.

After the screening guests traversed the courtyard, which reflected scenes from the movie, and made their way to Harvey Nicks where Jacob’s Creek hosted an unforgettable party complete with didgeridoo player.


Starring two of the world’s biggest stars, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, AUSTRALIA is directed by Baz Luhrmann a revolutionary filmmaker at the peak of his career. The movie has already generated high awareness, and there is a sense of buzz and anticipation surrounding its official launch, scheduled for December 26th.


AUSTRALIA is an epic and romantic action adventure, set in that country on the explosive brink of World War II. In it, an English aristocrat (Kidman) travels to the faraway continent, where she meets a rough-hewn local (Jackman) and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save the land she inherited. Together, they embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to still face the bombing of the city of Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl Harbour. With his new film, Luhrmann is painting on a vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that brings together romance, drama, adventure and spectacle.


It’s an adventure as epic as the land in which its story unfolds.
