In Barunga, two crime fighters also caught a glimpse of the Aussie icon.

An NT Police spokesperson said the meeting brought together two kinds of “guardians and protectors”.

“The Asgardian Avenger was out and about in Barunga today and was kind enough to take a photo,” the spokesperson said.

“The Mighty Thor and our NT police officers proved that strength comes in many forms.

“Be it the power of a thunder god or the resilience of those who uphold the law, one thing remains certain: when duty calls, heroes answer, no matter which realm they hail from.”

According to Wugularr School, Hemsworth arrived in VIP fashion.

“The whole community saw him land on the oval in a helicopter and then he spent the next 30 minutes saying hello and getting photos – so exciting to see a movie star in our little community,” the post continued.

Chris Hemsworth: Thor star arrives in the Northern Territory

Hemsworth spent some of his childhood in the Territory where he and brothers formed core memories.

Luke Hemsworth, Chris’s brother, spoke highly of his former hometown Bulman.

“I grew up a lot in the Northern Territory – in the heart of iron land, in the middle of nowhere, in a tiny place called Bulman,” Luke said.

“My parents started off catching buffalo and fixing fences, and then they ended up running the little store in Bulman.”
