Uluru, Kimberley gorges and Barrier Reef: Chris Hemsworth and family go on holiday with tourism chiefs hoping 'beautiful' snaps will lure millions to Australia

He is already luring tourists Down Under with his sexy voice.

But now Chris Hemsworth’s Australian family holiday album is almost certain to compel millions around the world to jump on a plane and follow his itinerary.

In the first photos surfacing of his ten-day trip with wife Elsa Pataky children India, Tristan, and Sasha, show them frolicking among some of the country’s natural beauties.

Their odyssey, paid for by Tourism Australia as part of its ongoing campaign, ticked off three very different locations on the family’s bucket list that Chris called ‘some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen’.

The first stop was the majestic Red Centre where they explored the barren deserts, took in Aboriginal culture and watched the sun rise over Uluru.

The kids were a bit tuckered out when the day was over, with their parents pictured carrying them around the stunning landmark.

Next it was on to the Kimberley in Western Australia where they explored spectacular gorges, swam in waterholes, fished for barramundi, drove along the beach and took a helicopter to secluded billabongs.

Chris and Else were snapped wandering barefoot along the side of a waterhole with cool blue water and multiple waterfalls behind them.

In another photo they stripped down to bikinis and boardshorts to paddle about in rock pools against a gorgeous shrub-covered landscape.

Finally they spent five days in a $12,000-a-night penthouse suite at Hayman Island resort One&Only on the Great Barrier reef, where Chris went scuba diving for the first time.

The family also enjoyed sunset sailing, beach water sports and boats excursions to nearby islands such as Langford Island and Whitehaven Beach.

The couple were photographed strolling along the pure white sand of Whitehaven with the crystal clear Pacific Ocean in the background.

Chris and Elsa also enjoyed a romantic dinner date at a Teppanyaki restaurant on the island where the star channelled Thor by raising his arms in the air and roaring as wild flames rose up from the grill in front of them.

'And the God of teppanyaki said "let there be light",’ he captioned a photo on Instagram leaked from their trip last week.

It seemed everyone was tired by the end of the trip, with even the musclebound actor collapsing for some much-needed shuteye on the plane home.

He was secretly snapped by his wife sweetly cuddling his India and one of his two-year-old twin boys as they slept on top of him.

The image quickly went viral as yet another example of Chris’ renowned parenting skills.

Back home after the tour, Chris raved to Tourism Australia about the trip, saying it was an ‘incredible experience and one I will never forget’.

‘Growing up in Australia, you can sometimes take it all for granted,’ he said.

‘But after being away for ten years and coming back… this experience reminded me how unique and impressive Australia is and how lucky we are.

‘Australia really does have it all.’

Tourism Australia managing director John O’Sullivan said the trip was catered to tick off parts of the country Chris had not yet visited.

‘His family has taken that sense of authenticity a step further, giving him and his family the chance to show the world first-hand what it feels like to immerse yourself fully in an Australian holiday,’ he said.

The agency hoped the exposure to Chris and Elsa’s more than 10 million social media followers would promote Australia around the world.

‘Advocacy is an increasingly important part of our marketing strategy. The huge profile which Chris enjoys internationally will ensure that these amazing Australian destinations, tourism product and experiences are showcased to millions,’ O’Sullivan said.

He said the 32-year-old actor had already generated 2,000 media stories, equal to $55 million in marketing dollars through his voiceover work on the campaign’s video – for which he was reportedly paid $450,000.

'No-one sells Australia or tells the story about Australia better than Australians,' O’Sullivan said.
