Hollywood star who has been calling America home for the last 19 years emerges in Sydney - as the heartbreaking reason for her relocation is revealed
A former Home and Away star who moved to the United States almost two decades ago has been spotted back in Australia — and she is here to stay. Tammin Sursok, who appeared on the Channel Seven soap opera from 2000 to 2004, stepped out in Sydney on Wednesday with her two daughters, Phoenix, 11, and Lennon, six, who she shares with husband Sean McEwen. The 41-year-old actress, who will officially move back home next year, looked radiant in a long-sleeved denim jumpsuit, paired with patent leather loafers and mismatched socks, during an outing at Manly Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches. She paired her look with a matching denim duffel bag from Sportsgirl and finished the ensemble with black-framed sunglasses, red nail polish, and dainty gold jewellery. Her hair was elegantly styled in loose waves, and she opted for a soft makeup palette with a nude lip.

The trio played on the equipment, with the Pretty Little Liars star seen laughing on the seesaw with Lennon. Tammin was later seen having an impromptu photoshoot, leaning against a pine tree while modelling her $40 bag. She ensured she got the best shot as she checked each photograph and gave directions on her best angles to the photographer. Just hours after her playdate in the park with her children, the family were seen hosting a Play-Doh x Barbie Fashion set launch. The Sursok gang were all smiles as they rubbed shoulders with the likes of Jasmine Stefanovic while attending the Langham High Tea in Sydney. But while Tammin has put on a brave face and kept herself busy with work, her mother Julie may have recently revealed the heartbreaking reason the actress is back home in Australia. Daily Mail Australia understands the soap star and her family will be moving back to Australia in January 2026 to spend more time with her ageing parents, Julie and Daryl. Daily Mail Australia understands the soap star and her family will be moving back to Australia in January 2026 to spend more time with her ageing parents, Julie and Daryl Tammin is currently in Sydney to organise work and get schooling sorted for her daughters ahead of their relocation. According to her mother's social media, Daryl is currently battling Alzheimer's disease. The Sursok matriarch revealed the news in March when she shared a video montage to her Instagram account. The clip featured several photos of Julie and Daryl cuddling up together and having fun throughout their many years as a couple. Julie, who is a best-selling author, captioned the video with some hopeful words about the 'battle ahead'. 'Hanging onto these memories. We have a battle ahead but we are strong and positive. Things will be alright,' she wrote. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, with early symptoms including memory loss that gradually worsens over time, according to Mayo Clinic. In advanced stages, loss of brain function can cause dehydration and poor nutrition, with the worst cases resulting in death. Alzheimer's is a biological process which begins with the appearance of a build-up of proteins in the form of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Over time, brain cells begin to die and the organ shrinks. While there is no cure, there are medicines available that can improve symptoms and slow the decline in thinking.

Manly Pacific NSW: How Aussie hotel rivals some of Italy's best
Brace yourself — the deluge is upon us. As the winter chill sets in across the east coast, and Aussies set off for their European summer in droves — keeping up with the social splurge of snaps from the Almalfi Coast, Lake Como or the high streets of Milan becomes almost too much to bare. For those sticking south for the winter like me, never fear — because I've come across a little slice of almost Positano that will warm you from the inside out. And while the water temp may be well below the Med at this time of year — the views, food, room and overall atmosphere will put this spot at the top of your winter weekend list. Stay The Manly Pacific – M Gallery sits midway along the ever-popular Manly Beach, but despite its central location — the oversized rooms, and recent $30 million refurbishment throughout the hotel makes you feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle. vertical video here I checked in to one of the hotel's stunning coastal villas — which spreads across two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, dining space and sizeable loungeroom. The balcony stretches from one side of the villa to the other, providing uninterrupted views across Manly and over to Shelley Beach (a great place for a paddleboard or snorkel). The villas are all designed by Coco Republic with a relaxed and sophisticated coastal aesthetic, providing guests with a calm and soothing experience throughout their stay. To celebrate winter, the hotel transforms the main drag of Manly Beach to be about as close to Italy as you can get their new winter package — Culinary Coastline: A Taste of Italy. Instead of driving, guests living within a 25km radius of the hotel can be picked up in a luxury car and chauffeur service arriving direct at the beachfront hotel with a glass of Italian prosecco on hand. Awarded a recent recognition among the world's 16 most beautiful hotels at the Prix Versailles awards, Manly Pacific offers an elevated seaside experience that starts from the moment guests check in. After gliding through the stunning entry foyer, a delicious signature charcuterie platter sat ready and waiting in our room — and a complimentary mini bar should you have a pre-dinner hunger pangs. Take a dip in the hotel's rooftop heated pool (a perfect spot to catch the sunset) or a session in the nearby sauna that can be booked privately. Eat Perhaps the highlight of the stay was dinner at the hotels adjoining restaurant, Cibaria. Everything from the cocktail menu, to the share plates, music and waitstaff will have you feeling like you're nestled in a ristorante on the other side of the world. The restaurant, which only opened in December last year, is an all-day spot attracting fun, playful crowds in no rush for lunch or dinner. The 130-seat restaurant has been beautiful decorated inside, to create a bright and colourful atmosphere for guests (with a delicious gelataria attached). We went with the Culinary Coastlines Menu, and not a single dish disappointed. Starting with the Pizzetta Bianca and the crab fritters, followed by the scallops (my dish of the night) and the yellowfin tuna crudo — another standout was the crabmeat trattole for a real Italian pasta hit. Make sure you leave room for dessert, because the house hazelnut tiramisu with mascarpone cream, coffee and savoiardi biscuit is actual heaven on a plate — so you may want to order two. Do Being in the thick of Manly means not only the beach and plenty of coastal walks are at your doorstep, but the weekend markets and plenty of shops are just footsteps away too. Grab a coffee from Bistro Manly downstairs (which is where you'll also enjoy a delightful buffet breakfast) and hit the pavement from the hotel around to Shelley Beach for a chilly (but refreshing) dip. For a midmorning hit — enjoy a pastry from Rollers Bakehouse just off the corso, and meander through the markets which is filled with local artworks, clothing and homewares. And if you dare, just like you would in the Med — strip down and take a dip, because the water (albeit chilly this time of year) couldn't get clearer if it tried!

Two famous Aussie beaches on disappointing list
When tourists think of Aussie beaches often the two that spring to mind are Bondi and Manly – and while they are both known for their scenic and vibrant atmosphere, they've also found themselves on a not so popular list. Australia is renowned for having some of the best beaches in the world given its vast coastline, natural beauty and cultural significance. But according to recent research conducted by Cloudwards, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach formed part of the top 20 most complained about beaches worldwide. It 'meticulously' examined TripAdvisor reviews for 200 of the world's most popular beaches to determine 'which sandy shores are leaving visitors feeling salty'. It then ranked the beaches from 1 – being the most complained about, to 100, the least complained about. The study focused on four main areas of criticism – cleanliness, overcrowding, long queues and noise disruption. Coming in first was Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, followed by Venice Beach in LA and Playa Manueel Antonio in Costa Rica. They had a complaint score of 100, 89.7 and 73.5, respectively. Bondi Beach ranked ninth while Manly Beach secured the 20th spot. According to the study, Bondi has a complaint score of 57.1, a 'dirty' rating of 13 per cent, 'overcrowded' percentage of 75.9 and 'noise disruption' of 3.4 per cent. Manly's complaint score is 47.4, has a 'dirty' score of 10.2 per cent, is 76.5 per cent 'overcrowded' and a 'noise disruption' of 4.1 per cent. According to the study, the more negative reviews, the higher the overall complaint score. Bondi and Manly were the only two Aussie beaches to feature on the list, while four American beaches featured in the top 10 and 39 were in the top 100. Meanwhile, earlier this year Tourism Australia released its best Aussie beaches list for 2025, The Bay of Fires beaches beat over 12,000 entrants including Bondi and Manly beaches. 'This year's list showcases to the world what Aussies already know – that Bondi and Brighton are great, but it's worth the journey to see some truly unique beaches in regional Australia,' Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell said. 'There will be many families, just like mine, that love looking through the 'Best Australian Beaches' list every year to pick which ones they want to visit next. 'At times, the selections create plenty of debate, which I welcome, and I look forward to the feedback on this year's top 10,' he added.
