Where to Run Into a Celeb in Australia? (2022 Edition)
Hugh Jackman, Russel Crowe, Margot Robbie, Dacre Montgomery, Baz Luhrmann - are some of the A-list celebrities that call Australia home. Most of them still live here while others try to spend weeks or months every year in their homeland. So where do they actually go when they do visit the Land Down Under? And what about the other major stars who visit here for a weekend getaway or a holiday ? If you're wondering the same and are craving for some answers, you have come to the right place.
Float on Sydney’s Harbour
The goal is not to look for celebrities but to live like one. The number of celebrities that have embarked on a Sydney Harbour cruise offering lunch is staggering. The premium glass boat in particular, has welcomed superstars including A-list and C-list celebs from every corner of the planet. All you gotta do is book a harbour cruise and set sail along the calm waterways and who knows who you might end up rubbing shoulders with! The experience is nothing short of luxurious - premium food, extensive beverage upgrades, world-class ambience, stunning views and of course, smooth service.
Even if you book a Sydney Harbour dinner cruise there are high chances that you may run into a movie or reality actor. The surreal beauty of the Emerald City is in full swing at night and you get to cruise past the legendary landmarks including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and much more, an experience favoured by the big names of Hollywood.
Party at Gold Coast
After the sun goes down the best bet for you to raise a glass with an A-lister is at the many night clubs and buzzy bars of Gold Coast including Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads. Gold Coast and its major beacons like Surfers Paradise are some of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the land down under and for good reasons. Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Paris Hilton are few of the many fan favourites who have partied like a true local in the many hot spots like the Sin City nightclub. You can also kick things off earlier, if that’s your thing, by getting in on the Vegas pool party at Cali Beach Club, one of the best day-club experiences in the whole country. The entry here is absolutely free but to party like a true star and maybe even meet one, book a cabana or a booth and wind down with champagne magnums and spritz cocktails.
Icons in Icon
The truest landmark of Australia, the Opera House, has hosted a number of international, national and local shows for more than 60 years now. Legendary names like The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Prince and many others have graced this iconic entertainment venue in the past and many will do in the future as well. Lookout for many highly-rated events in 2022 including Andrew Webber’s rendition of The Phantom of the Opera and the well-acclaimed, broadway musical Cinderella. Along with the harbour cruises, this modern-expressionist building should also be your go-to if you're on the lookout for some big names in Sydney.
Cop a glance at Melbourne Park
One of the major grand slam tournaments is hosted in Melbourne. Apart from the international tennis players who come to play the sport, we have come across many celebrities who come to watch the game as well. Some stars who have attended the recent tournaments include Eric Bana, Toni Collette, Malcom Fraser and more! Many of them can be seen in the stands, though some of them may linger around for some time afterwards within the Melbourne Park. So be on the radar when tickets for the next major tournament are up for grabs!
