Only ET is on the set of the sweeping new epic film, 'Australia,' starring two of Hollywood's most glamorous Aussies -- NICOLE KIDMAN and HUGH JACKMAN.

"The story is centered on an English aristocratic woman [Kidman] who inherits some land out here -- one million acres, which is the size of Belgium. And she is being brought out to this property by this rough-hewn driver, played by me, and they don't get on," Hugh tells ET.

'Australia,' directed by BAZ LUHRMANN, takes place in northern Australia just prior to World War II, and, according to Nicole, "Love is what it is about ... and desire and passion."

Nicole will be the first to admit she fell in love during filming -- puppy love.

"This is Sooky, and this is my reward when I finish the film," says Nicole, showing off the puppy she will be taking home when shooting wraps on the film.

'Australia' hits theaters on November 14.
