Will film 'Australia' spur tourism Down Under? {Gadling}

Dec 4th 2008 10:06AM Whether you hated it or loved it – all you’ve been hearing about is Australia.

However, you may not know that this movie is merely a rip off of the classic, Tasmania: The Movie. We encourage you to skip Baz Luhrmann’s saturated interpretation of the arid Outback for the more colorful and scenic landscapes of Tasmania. Baz can’t come close to capturing the heart and soul of my favorite island.
