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.

The star flew from Sydney to the beach side town of Byron Bay via private jet on Thursday, where she joined her country rocker husband.

She received a warm welcomed at the airport by Keith, who is in town to play The East Coast Blues and Roots Festival.

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.
