While the famous Hemsworth siblings weren’t seen making their way to party, their father Craig was spotted on his way there with a gift in hand for the High School Musical star.

Zac’s girlfriend Vanessa was seen arriving at his shindig dressed in a chic little black dress, which she teamed with a pale orange button up shirt and heels.

He was seen at the front of his Byron Bay pad waiting for his ladylove to arrive, before escorting her inside.

Zac was first reported to be quietly living in the beachside town since March, escaping the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

At the time, there were several reported ‘sightings’ of Zac at cafés and restaurants in Byron Bay.

That was until he was spotted in July with Vanessa, a former waitress from the Byron Bay General Store café. She was later revealed to be his girlfriend.

They’ve been seen out on the town on lunch dates and have even travelled to Thredbo for a romantic ski trip.

Rumours have also swirled that Zac is planning to permanently relocate Down Under as his relationship with Vanessa grows.

In August, Daily Mail Australia revealed that he cancelled his scheduled flight to Los Angeles.

‘He was only planning to fly home if he had to,’ a source revealed. ‘He didn’t really want to go back to America.’

Zac had purchased the plane ticket several months ago in case his application for a visa extension was denied by the Department of Home Affairs.

But it seems his request to have his tourist visa extended from three months to 12 months was granted, hence why he cancelled his trip home.

In September, The Daily Telegraph reported that Zac had ‘inspected and put in an offer’ on a home in Byron Bay, but was apparently outbid at the last minute by a rival buyer.

But in recent weeks, Zac is rumoured to be the mystery buyer of a record-breaking $22million mansion near Wategos Beach.
