Films set to boost tourism hotspots

A blockbuster movie starring Nicole Kidman is set to spark a rush of British visitors to a comparatively untouristy part of Australia.

Called simply Australia, the film showcases Darwin in Northern Territory and depicts the devastating bombing of the town by the Japanese in the Second World War.

Darwin is a popular spot for cruise ship passengers and backpackers but lies in the shadow of the likes of Sydney, Brisbane and Perth as a travel destination for Britons.
