Abstract

Baz Luhrmann's Australia - The Movie was seen by many as an overblown title for an over-long soapie about love, war and cattle. It was also generously funded by the Australian Tourist Board to sell Australia - The Country, and failed to come up trumps there as well. Now we have Australia - The Exhibition opening at the Royal Academy on 21 September. Will it do any better for art or tourism?
