Fans waited for hours in the rain and traffic was brought to a standstill in central Sydney as Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman walked the red carpet for the world premiere of Australia.
George Street in Sydney's CBD was closed as 3,000 invited guests strolled the carpet for the premiere of one of the most anticipated local films ever.
Kidman joined co-stars on the carpet including Hugh Jackman, Bryan Brown, David Wenham, 13-year-old Brandon Walters, Jack Thompson, director Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin.
Meanwhile, Oscar-winning actress Kidman says Australia may be her final film as she concentrates on motherhood.
Speaking at a press conference in Sydney with director Baz Luhrmann and the cast of Australia, Kidman said she may decide to extend her family instead.
"I'm in a place in my life where I have had some great opportunities. I may just choose to have some more children," Kidman said.
"I have no idea what is in my future, but I'm very at peace with where I want to be."
"There are many things I want to do besides act."
Australia is released in New Zealand later this year.
