Lara and Sam back on home turf

Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington have swapped the snow-lined streets of New York for the sunny beaches of Australia with a return home in time for New Year's Eve.

The celebrity couple, who have been dating since September, spent the past few weeks in the Big Apple and were not shy about sharing their loved-up adventures around the city.

But the Aussie duo have now brought their romance back to home soil, with Bingle posting several snaps of her and Rockingham-raised Worthington lapping up the heat at a Sydney beach yesterday.

One photo of the blue surf was captioned: "It's a beach bum Sunday", while a shot of Bingle resting her head on her beau's shoulder read: "A Beautiful. Ass. Day".

The pair will reportedly appear at Sydney hot spot Marquee on New Year's Eve, with some even speculating a proposal may be on the cards due to the speed at which their relationship has unfolded.

Bingle and Worthington are certainly smitten with each other.

The 26-year-old blonde recently took to Instagram to reveal their Christmas Day date at a New York basketball match, followed up by a snap of Worthington on a city street captioned: "Greatest Gift Of All."
