Nicole Kidman's son and daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise became the latest notables Thursday to arrive in Australia for the Oscar-winning actress's star-studded marriage.

Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, were driven into the luxurious mansion on Sydney Harbor that Kidman and Cruise once shared, accompanied by their grandmother Jannelle.

Local media reported they arrived a short time earlier in a private jet from Tokyo, where they were accompanying Cruise on a publicity trip. Kidman is set to marry country music star Keith Urban in a lavish wedding this weekend. Details have been carefully guarded, but local media have widely tipped Sunday night for the event.

"King Kong" star Naomi Watts, a longtime friend of Kidman's, arrived Wednesday and was among those at a women-only party to celebrate the coming nuptials. Urban was expected to have his bachelor party Thursday night.

The guest list reportedly also includes Oscar winner Russell Crowe, "X-Men" star Hugh Jackman, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his wife Wendi Deng, and Murdoch's Sydney-based son Lachlan and his wife, model Sarah O'Hare.

It is the first marriage for Urban, 38, and the second for Kidman, 39. Cruise ended their 10-year union in 2001, but they share custody of their adopted children.

Kidman, who was born in Hawaii but raised in Australia, won an Oscar for her role in the 2002 film "The Hours." Urban, who was born in New Zealand but also grew up in Australia, won a Grammy in 2005 for best male country vocal performance.

Work was continuing Thursday on erecting a marquee at a gothic-style sandstone Catholic church in the beachside suburb of Manly, the presumed location of the wedding.
