THEY'RE HERE

Just a fraction of the mobile homes parked at the Kununurra Race Course ready to receive the film crew when they arrive in Kununurra tonight (Thursday).

Period horse drawn vehicles are ready to go.

A Ozjet Boeing 737-200 carrying 102 members of the cast and crew for the Baz Luhrmann epic film 'Australia' was due to touch down in Kununurra at 5.30 this afternoon.
It was the first time a 737-200 had landed in Kununurra and marked the beginning of four or more weeks of frantic action in the East Kimberley.
The film, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, is set in the days leading up to World War II.
Locally, it will be filmed mostly on Carlton Hill Station with some action on other stations.
Major parts of the film have already been shot in Bowen, Darwin and Sydney.
Kununurra's accommodation is all full and many people have leased their houses out for about $2000 a week to house the film crew.
The stars of the film are expected to fly in aboard private jets in the next few days
