Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman
were the guests of honor at an aboriginal welcoming ceremony for their new
movie Australia recently.
The two stars and the movie's cast and crew, including Oscar-nominated
director Baz Luhrmann, were entertained by the Miriwoong and Gajirrawoong
communities at Kununurra in West Australia.
Kidman and Jackman watched traditional dancing and were told some
legendary local stories.
Kidman tells Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph, "It was
beautiful to receive the blessings. I felt very honored to be a part of
this deeply spiritual land. The warmth and kindness (they) are showing us
is very much appreciated."
