Hugh Jackman Planning Family Australian Outback Adventure  5/29/07

Hugh Jackham is planning to 'rough it' on a family vacation this summer (07) when he takes his family backpacking in the Australian outback.

The actor, who is currently shooting on location in his native Australia with fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman, is taking off for three-and-a-half months when filming has wrapped.

And he's taking his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their two adopted kids with him.

The adventurous X-Men star tells People magazine, "I'm bringing the whole kit and caboodle up and we're doing a three-and-a-half month adventure in the outback.

"At times we'll be in tents, we'll be out on Aboriginal land, there'll be crocodiles.

"My son just turned seven, my daughter is almost two - she'll forget it, but my son never, ever will.

"I'm thrilled I have a wife who's up for it."
