Australia will hit the big screens in the UK on Boxing Day. This eagerly anticipated drama tells the story of an English aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman), and a rough-hewn cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) who drive 1,500 herd of cattle across Northern Australia.

But just what did they get up to, and where did they hang out? This video follows in the footsteps of Nicole, Hugh and Baz, and also includes some great clips from the film.
