Elsa Pataky was every inch the doting mother as she was joined by her daughter India while walking their dogs on the beach in Bryon Bay.
The Spanish actress, 48, put on a leggy display in distressed beige denim shorts and a black patterned vest top as she soaked up the rays during the balmy walk.
Elsa, who is married to Chris Hemsworth, channelled traditional Aussie style as she went barefoot for the walk and shielded her eyes with oversized black shades.
She tucked her golden tresses beneath a wide-brimmed straw bucket hat and appeared to be in jovial spirits as she avidly chatted to her daughter India, 12.
The youngster looked every inch her mother’s mini-me as she wore a white T-shirt and pink shorts for the dog walk.
The mother-daughter duo took their hoard of animals for a walk on a dog-friendly beach in Byron Bay before heading to the shops to pick up some essentials.
The Hemsworth family have multiple dogs including a German Shepherd, a golden-doodle called Sunny, a cocker spaniel called Rocket and a poodle.
Their most recent addition to their brood is their German Shepherd, who they welcomed into their family just weeks before Christmas.
They also have many other pets including a horse called Chester, two chickens called Moto Moto and Pizza, a bearded dragon called Monty and a pig called Tina.
In fact, Elsa recently admitted that her one condition to Chris for moving to Australia from her native Spain was buying a farm where they could have animals.
‘That was my deal with Chris,’ she told the Courier Mail.
‘I said I would move to Australia but I wanted to live on a property, a farm, and have horses and he knew that.’
Chris and Elsa now live in Byron Bay in a sprawling $30million eight-bedroom mansion that sits on a massive 4.2 hectares of land in Broken Head.
Elsa and Chris tied the knot in a surprise Australian ceremony just ten months after they first met in early 2010 and celebrated 14 years of marriage on December 22.
They moved to Byron Bay five years later after getting married, buying their forever home in the coastal paradise for $7.6million.
Elsa recently gave a rare insight into her relationship with Chris and shared their secret to a happy marriage despite facing many challenges over the years.
‘I think we all have the idea of this beautiful dream of a marriage and loving each other and it all being perfect but it’s much more work than you think,’ she said.
‘It comes with so many challenges but it’s beautiful to grow into those challenges and learn about each other and how we change with the years and how we adapt to each other.
‘You can think from the outside that a marriage is perfect but they all have their things and they all need a lot of work.’
As well as their eldest daughter India, the couple also share twin boys Sasha and Tristan, 10.
