The photos show Hemsworth and his father, Craig, looking joyful and surrounded by the people of Gulin Gulin, a small town in Australia where Hemsworth grew up in. Hemsworth took the time to meet children and young fans, who carried Thor hammers and t-shirts, while also receiving some gifts, including a drawing that read “Welcome home.” The drawing featured some doodles, including one of Thor flying and calling on his power of thunder.

Hemsworth also shared a photograph of when he was a boy, showing him surrounded by children of Gulin Gulin. “When I was younger my family and I lived in a remote community in the Northern Territory. Some of my earliest and happiest memories are from that time,” wrote Hemsworth in the caption. “Now, 35 years later I’ve been lucky enough to take a trip back there. I couldn’t be more grateful to the people of Gulin Gulin for welcoming us with such warmth and kindness. Much love and appreciation.”
