Nicole Kidman has already experienced and survived a lot. Now she can add another task to her list of duties: she is to create a new tourism boom for her home country of Australia. The beautiful country Down Under expects nothing less from the film "Australia", which opens in German-speaking Switzerland on Christmas Day. The film is expected to be seen by millions of moviegoers worldwide and will show them Australia's natural beauty, history and the lives of its indigenous people, said Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson at a conference at the weekend. Tourism advertisers are hoping for a repeat of the effect of "Crocodile Dundee", which aroused the interest of thousands of tourists in the country in the 1980s. In the new epic "Australia", directed by Baz Luhrmann, Kidman plays an English aristocrat alongside Hugh Jackman who falls in love with a rough-and-tumble drover from the Australian outback. Let's hope that the story turns out better than Kidman's marriage to Tom Cruise, which failed a few years ago to great media attention. Otherwise, the big tourism number will probably be rather difficult.
