BOWEN FRAMING
Special thanks to Gordon Fellows from Bowen Framing for getting in touch and providing images of the great Australia and Bowen postcards and prints he is currently selling instore. Click on the pictures above for larger images. Mr Fellows also kindly provided some great photos of 'Bombed Bowen'. The images show the destruction of the Bowen sets, which in the film will represent the bombing of Darwin. Check them out on my Bowen Location Images page.
The Townsville Bulletin's Bowenwood page also reported about the store in their story entitled, Stamp on Hollywood, which read as follows:
Stamp on Hollywood
Townsville Bulletin, 9 June 2007
Lick a stamp and send Bowen to the world with a new postcard featuring scenes and sets from Australia. Gordon Fellows, from Bowen Art and Framing, designed the artwork for the postcard and prints and took several of the photos featured himself. The postcard has pictures of Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, the Territory Hotel, stockmen and cattle, the Carney's cattle building, a World War I memorial and other buildings. Mr Fellows said the postcard was selling like hotcakes to tourists and locals. "We've had Hugh Jackman's driver in buying six of the large prints," Mr Fellows said. "They might be getting signed by Hugh and Nicole for charity. It's been flat out." Alice Fellows said the prints were also selling well to people who had roles in the movie. Mrs Fellows has been on set herself playing an 'army girl' extra in the film. "That's why I've got my hair curled like this," she said. "It's been great. I've seen Nicole up close. People in town are all taken up with the movie." Mr Fellows said there was one shopper they were keen to see. "We're hoping Baz will come in and get his print."
