Sun, sand, surf and a super star to boot! Nicole Kidman surprised beach goers in Australia as she arrived for a day by the ocean in her native Australia yesterday.

The Hollywood star traded in her two piece bikini for a more demure Billabong rash vest and white towel, keeping her pale skin, and of course her baby bump, under wraps.

Under wraps: Nicole kept her bump covered in a blue Billabong rash vest

While the star appears to be enjoying her time Down Under, she is reportedly on the hunt for a new home in Los Angeles.

The star was spotted looking for properties near her best friend and fellow Australian Naomi Watts last week.

A source told Us Weekly: "Nicole had her people call Naomi's next-door neighbors to ask if they would be interested in selling their house � even though it wasn't on the market."

The neighbours turned down the offer, but she is still on the lookout for a home in the $US8 million range.

During her time in LA, she also caught up with her children with ex Tom Cruise � son Connor, 13, and daughter Isabella, 15.
