A wide sweep of emptiness
I used to think I enjoyed Baz Luhrman's earlier films but on repeated watching I seemed to have tired of the overblown techniques that captured and even enraptured me when these films were first seen in the cinema. 'Australia' is just too expansive and exaggerated, it tries too hard to be the epic it is not, and uses the mysteries of the Aboriginal culture to gloss over some truly obvious and cliched aspects of the plot, such as it is.

With a story this expansive, it's no wonder they named it after a continent.
Yes, this is filmmaking in the old-fashioned epic style but only up to a point. When director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann says, "This film's DNA comes from the same stock as Gone With the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia and Giant, but it has its own point of view," he's putting it mildly.
