8 Biggest Differences Between Faraway Downs & Australia

Faraway Downs contains a number of noteworthy differences that set it apart from Australia. Fifteen years after the release of Australia, Baz Luhrmann’s sweeping tale set in the remote Northern Territory is back. Faraway Downs retells the epic love story, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman returning to the ambitious new six-part show. Billed initially as a critical and box-office disappointment, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker has re-edited his 2008 melodrama into a story for Hulu, adding nearly an hour of new footage and a completely different ending.
