The Zac Efron circus has finally rolled into Queensland.
The Hollywood actor and his Australian girlfriend Vanessa Valladares were spotted visiting Currumbin, on the southern end of the Gold Coast, on Wednesday.
The pair, who had ventured north across the border from Byron Bay, made a lunch stop at trendy cafe The Salt Mill, where fellow Byron Bay star resident, Chris Hemsworth, has also
frequented in the past.

Efron was rugged up in a jacket and jeans for his Queensland beach trip, while Valladares wore a button up shirt dress as she grabbed a takeaway coffee and acai bowl.
Byron Bay locals have casually spotted Efron around town for the last few months after he quietly made the move down under and lived under the radar during the COVID-19 lockdown.
He reportedly met model Valladares, 25, in July, when she was working as a waiter at the Byron Bay General Store cafe.
It comes after Efron hosted a 33rd birthday party on the weekend, with guests including Pat Rafter, Renee Bargh, Kyle Sandilands and Chris Hemsworth’s dad Craig all spotted arriving.
Sandilands said on Monday that Valladares invited him after organising the event.

“She’s lovely, couldn’t get a lovelier, more sweet girl,” he said. “She put the whole thing together, she’s a sweetheart.”
“Everyone that you would think would be at that sort of place was there. I’m not going to go through every single person, but there were rock stars, movie stars, television stars – a very cool Byron sort of a crowd.”
Efron is part of a large celebrity contingent currently living and working in Byron Bay, including Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Taika Waititi, Melissa McCarthy, Natalie Portman and Luke Evans.
