'Australia' Premiere

Friggin George Street was blocked and packed today due to the premiere of 'Australia'.

Road closures, nosy people standing in the middle of the footpath to have a glimpse.

Celebrities in expensive cars causing traffic to stop for them.

Chaos!!!

The street was shut down just for them!!

I think the previous week we had the stars from High School musical come to the red carpet event, but nothing as big as this! I mean, they barricaded the streets and had police working to control traffic as well as two (or three?) large screens set up too! Massive massive event!

And I didn't take any photos. Damn me for being short and lost through the crowds!!

Tight security surrounded the event, including bomb squad dogs and a large contingent of bodyguards.

I heard that the stars of the movie had waited until tonight to see the finished film.

*sigh*

Well, let's just hope that chaos doesn't repeat itself tomorrow because I don't want to be trampled on tomorrow!! hehehe

For those living in a cave:

Australia follows the story of Lady Sarah Ashley, played by Nicole Kidman, who inherits a remote cattle station called Faraway Downs in the mid-1930s, before World War II.

When cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn drover, played by Jackman, to drive thousands of cattle across the country, only to face the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces.
