Known as The Orchard, the 7.4 acre property surrounded by rainforest and national park is a secluded hide-out for the Oscar nominated actor when she returns to her Gold Coast hometown.

'It is one of her favourites,' he told NewsWire.

'It has a hobby farm feel, but it's very private with a big gate at the front, which you enter over a concrete bridge.
'The property is surrounded by a creek then backs onto the Tallebudgera hinterland with old growth forest and national park behind you.'

Behind the scenes in Kia's Tasman Town

Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring News. Followed categories will be added to My News. How many sports stars does it take to convince Australians that Kia can make a good, off-road, dual cab ute? The South Korean car manufacturer – better known for their sensible SUVs – clearly thinks the answer is a lot. Last week, for the launch of its first-ever ute, the Tasman, Kia shipped Alex Volkanovski, Lance Franklin, David Boonie, Damien Oliver, Alfie Langer, Steve Waugh, Dane Swan, Nathan Hindmarsh and Darren Lockyer to a small country town in the Central West of New South Wales. MORE: Kia's Tasman tested in pre-production form Retired Broncos star Darren Lockyer with a horse in Tasman Town. Picture: Supplied A truly impressive bevy of athletes. Some of the biggest names in Australian sport. And they were all brought together to participate in what might best be described as a night of improvisational theatre. No, really. For the launch, Kia took over Sofala, a historic gold rush town with a population of around 100 people, and transformed it into 'Tasman Town', the imaginary destination featured in their ads. I was one of a few dozen motoring writers and media types who were invited along for the event. MORE: Drivers fed up by dangerous driving Kia transformed Sofala, NSW, into Tasman Town. Picture: Supplied On arrival, we were greeted as though we were newcomers to the area, interested in buying a local property. To help us get acquainted with the town, an actor, playing the local mayor, gave us a tour of the main street. Along the way, we were introduced to a few of the 'residents'. These were, of course, the athletes who were in character as … well … themselves. But versions of themselves who drove Kias, worked trades, and lived in a fake town. Frankly, I call this non-consensual improvisation. MORE: Driving Subaru's Forester hybrid Kia transformed a pub into the Tasman Hotel. Picture: Supplied Usually, I would gnaw off my own hand to avoid it. Kia, perhaps being one step ahead of dissidents like myself, were mercifully quick to distribute beer and wine to prevent any such drastic actions. Certainly, some athletes were more comfortable in their acting roles than others. UFC Featherweight Champion Alex Volkanovski – pretending to a butcher – was a standout performer. I suppose if your actual job is beating men into a pulp with your knuckles, all other gigs are comparatively easy. MORE: Australia's favourite cars Kia transformed Sofala, NSW, into Tasman Town. Picture: Supplied A few actual Sofala residents were also involved in the show. They had the important job of walking ponies and goats up and down the street. You know, just like any ordinary country town. The rest of the locals had gathered at the pub, schooners in hand, to watch the palaver unfold. Their faces were inscrutable as the media pack shuffled past. Once the mandatory theatre component of the evening had concluded, guests and the sporting icons were free to mingle. MORE: Jet pilot tech changing Aussie cars Former cricketer Steve Waugh in Kia's Tasman Town. Picture: Supplied This, I realise, would be a dream event for many Australians. Unfortunately, as someone with terrible facial memory and a dearth of knowledge on any non car-related sport, I was in a personally-tailored horror story. Every conversation was socially fraught. Did this person look familiar because I've met them at a car launch? Or are they an Australian sporting legend whom I should absolutely know? There were a million ways for a person like me to socially embarrass themselves. Inevitably, it wasn't long before I found one. MORE: Huge ask for Australia's most valuable car Retired NRL star Nathan Hindmarsh in Kia's Tasman Town. Picture: Supplied During the evening's formal dinner, the person assigned to the place next to me sat down, shook my hand and asked, 'Who are you?'. This was an aggressive start to a conversation, I thought. I fired back, 'I'm Stephanie, who are you?' To which he replied, very politely, that he was Nathan Hindmarsh, one of the footy players. Also, he clarified, he'd asked me how are you, not who are you. Hindmarsh then proceeded to further shame me by being thoroughly funny and charming for the rest of the evening. The Tasman launch was an extravaganza, but I was obviously not the target audience. Stephanie Coombes with the Kia Tasman. Picture: Supplied The fact that no female sporting stars were present – even though they featured in some of the ads – is further evidence of this fact. If Kia has a vision board for the Tasman, dead centre is a caricature of an Aussie tradesman. Their method for appealing to these men – getting high-profile sporting heroes to pretend to be tradies – is borderline patronising. But Kia is not in a position to take any serious creative risks. They need the Tasman to work in Australia. This is no small task. Kia is entering a very established, highly-competitive dual cab ute market late in the day, and with a car that is being thoroughly panned online for its boxy, brutalist design. Kia has decided to align itself with winners. Only time will tell whether that sporting glory will rub off on the Tasman, a ute that's joining the race well behind the starting line.

Brisbane news live: US nuclear submarine arrives in Brisbane; European Union reaches 15 per cent trade deal with Trump

Go to latest US nuclear submarine arrives in Brisbane On Sunday, the US Navy Ohio-class submarine USS Ohio arrived in Brisbane for a historic scheduled port visit mooring alongside the submarine tender (repair ship) USS Frank Cable, which pulled in on Saturday. It is the first Ohio-class submarine to pull into Brisbane, arriving ahead of the upcoming 80th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific Day on August 15, which marks the end of World War II in the Pacific. The celebration marks decades of shared US-Australian history and co-operation. During World War II, Brisbane served as a major submarine hub, hosting more than 70 US submarines and three submarine tenders. During the port visit, Ohio will host tours and engagements for distinguished visitors, national and local community leaders. The visit also coincides with the current war games exercise Talisman Sabre in the Northern Territory involving Australian, US and Canadian military. The super carrier USS America also recently docked in Brisbane, and Brisbane Times was granted a tour of the ship. 6.58am Hopes Margot Robbie will star in Queensland film before Brisbane Olympics By A campaign is under way in Queensland to bring Hollywood heavyweight Margot Robbie home for a special Olympics Games project. Screen Queensland has approached the Barbie star with a proposal to return home and make a film to put the state on the map ahead of the Brisbane 2032 games. The actress was born in Dalby in the Western Downs and raised on the Gold Coast, and has visited her home state in previous years for holidays. She also returned to the Gold Coast for work last year to accept the Trailblazer Award at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards on the Gold Coast. With a busy schedule, film industry bosses believe it will take the right project to get the actress back to the state. The industry believes the Brisbane 2032 games presents the opportunity to put the state's film industry front and centre globally. Screen Queensland has proposed the actresses' production company LuckyChap Entertainment produce the film. 6.57am US nuclear submarine arrives in Brisbane On Sunday, the US Navy Ohio-class submarine USS Ohio arrived in Brisbane for a historic scheduled port visit mooring alongside the submarine tender (repair ship) USS Frank Cable, which pulled in on Saturday. It is the first Ohio-class submarine to pull into Brisbane, arriving ahead of the upcoming 80th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific Day on August 15, which marks the end of World War II in the Pacific.

During the port visit, Ohio will host tours and engagements for distinguished visitors, national and local community leaders. The visit also coincides with the current war games exercise Talisman Sabre in the Northern Territory involving Australian, US and Canadian military. 6.56am Today's weather After a showery and stormy weekend, the week kicks off in Brisbane with a sunny winter day and a cool top of 21 degrees. Here's the seven-day outlook: 6.55am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: The European Union has ended months of dispute with US President Donald Trump by accepting a deal that imposes 15 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in exports. The deal was unveiled in Scotland on Sunday during Trump's visit to his golf estates, as hundreds of protesters gathered to object to his visit. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made it clear he will not be rushed into recognising Palestinian statehood, despite energetic lobbying by French President Emmanuel Macron and rising demands from the Labor Party's rank-and-file. Australians are voicing a strong desire for the country to assert more independence from the United States amid Donald Trump's turbulent presidency, with most voters saying they do not blame Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for failing to secure a meeting with the US President. The architect of Australia's current research integrity system says it is no longer fit for purpose and has called for the establishment of an independent scientific watchdog. And in sport, Australian Oscar Piastri has won the Belgian Grand Prix and furthered his championship lead, while his teammate Lando Norris had to settle for second during a rain-interrupted race at Spa. 6.46am Good morning, and welcome to Brisbane Times' live news coverage for Monday, July 28. Today should be a sunny day, with a top temperature of 21 degrees. In this morning's local headlines: Queensland Premier David Crisafulli faces the most consequential report card of his 10-month rule this week when he receives the victims of crime statistics for the first six months since the passage of his government's signature Making Queensland Safer laws. Queensland's major public sector union will push for a staff-led approach to artificial intelligence use in white-collar and administrative roles where it can help workers without undermining jobs. A multibillion-dollar American casino company's attempts to introduce its brand to Australia may have come unstuck, thanks to a small suburban bowls club. A Fiji Airways Boeing 737 MAX was damaged at Brisbane's international airport after an aerobridge incident at the weekend – the third in as many months at the airport. All Queensland hospital and health services will audit how they recruit, manage and monitor senior doctors after one was 'pushed through' into an unadvertised and difficult-to-fill specialist role. Staff were scared to take on a celebrated Queensland scientist who had won millions in government funding but was found to be a fraudster. Eventually, they had enough. La Boite's new show has well-loved Brisbane buildings demolished at a rate that would shock Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
