Synopsis: Set in northern Australia before World War II. The film centers on an English aristocrat who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver to drive 2,000 head of cattle across the country's most unforgiving landscape, only to face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by Japanese forces.

Comment: Project was put on hold due to schedueling and budget conflicts. Russell Crowe was attached and dropped out at last minute over script approval; Luhrmann would not concede.
