Matt Damon’s new Australian family tradition
Matt Damon and his family are settling into life Down Under, as they have been spotted at the Royal Queensland Show, also known as Ekka, at the Brisbane Showground.
The Hollywood A-lister spoke to organisers at the event, saying it was their second time attending the annual event.
After spending more and more time in Australia, the 52-year-old said the annual agriculture show is quickly becoming a “family tradition”.
"I love it here, this is our second year in a row coming," he told staff at the show in a clip posted to social media.
"It's turned into a family tradition, so thanks for having us back."

The actor added words of praise for those working at the event, which includes rides, showbags, food stalls, live farming displays and the famous strawberry sundaes.
"Shout out to everyone at the Ekka, you guys do a great job," he said before signing off.
Damon, who is currently making the most of his time off work due to the writers’ strike in Hollywood, attended the Queensland Show with his wife Luciana Barroso, 47, and three of their daughters Isabella, 17, Gia, 14, and Stella, 12.
The family are no strangers to Australia, after spending plenty of time in Byron Bay with fellow actor Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky.
The actor and his family also spent some time living in Sydney during the pandemic, while Damon filmed Thor: Love & Thunder with Hemsworth.
