Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky made the most of a recent bad storm in their home town of Byron Bay.

Posting to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Elsa shared video of the glamour couple’s children ‘grass surfing’. 

In one clip Chris, 41, and Elsa, 48, can be seen standing in torrential rain, each dressed in hooded jackets, as they watch one of their boys ‘surf’ rain soaked grass.

Another clip shows a group of young kids, wearing colourful wet suits, slide down a hill on their fin-less mini boards.

Meanwhile, Elsa shared with her followers the extent of recent rains in which her children can be seen walking through a flooded track.

The Madrid-born beauty captioned the lighthearted story with the words, ‘Finding the joy even in bad weather’ and added the Spanish phrase  ‘Al mal tiempo, buena cara’.

This is a version of the English phrase to ‘put on a brave face’ when faced with adversity.

Translated from the Spanish it means ‘If there is bad weather, put [on] a good face’.

Chris and Elsa share three children, daughter India Rose 12, and twin boys Sasha and Tristan, 10.    

The recent bad weather in the Byron region came as Tropical Cyclone Alfred headed for the coast last week.

After it was downgraded to a tropical low it drenched the Gold Coast as well northern NSW.

It comes after Elsa recently opened up her decision to relocate to Australia with husband Chris Hemsworth.

The glamour couple purchased their sprawling 4.2 hectare estate back in 2014 for $7million, eventually constructing a $50million mega mansion on the site.

Speaking to News Corp, she said that the couple found Los Angeles, where they were residing previously, too ‘restricting’.

‘When you’re in Los Angeles, work suffocates you,’ she said.

Elsa added that Byron Bay was far removed from the constant industry chatter that plagues the City Of Angels.

‘There, all the conversations, even the billboards you see on the street, have to do with the world of cinema and its industry,’ she said.

She continued: ‘It can make you lose perspective.’

It was a sentiment that Hemsworth shared in an interview with Modern Luxury back in 2020.

‘I love what I do as an actor, but when you are surrounded by it constantly, it becomes a bit suffocating’ he said.

‘It’s nice to have conversations with people and be a part of a community that doesn’t live and breathe that world.’

Hemsworth added that Byron Bay provided a calmer environment in which to raise their children.

The couple completed their mega-mansion in 2021, and the monolithic home skyrocketed in price since the family moved in.

Originally estimated at $20million, property experts said at the time the LA-style compound, located in Broken Head near Byron Bay, was worth an eyewatering $30million.

More recent valuations had placed the pad at $50million.

The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms as well as sprawling outdoor living areas.
