An Australian TV star proved there were no flies on her this week as she enjoyed a family Christmas in Western Australia.
The blonde beauty, 45, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a series of images that showed her enjoying a very relaxing Christmas Day.
She was not afraid to flaunt her enviable form as the family celebration continued beachside.
One photo featured her showing off her enviable form in a skimpy two-piece bikini.
The cute light yellow balconette swimwear featured a smocked fabric, a subtle floral print, and a small red bow at the décolletage.
Her toned and bronzed form was on full display as she happily posed under a sweltering summer sun.

She was also sun smart for the outing, accessorising with a crocheted straw hat and a pair of black sunglasses.
So, do you know who it is?
Of course, it’s The Project’s Carrie Bickmore who opted to add another quintessentially Australian accessory to her beach ensemble – a head net to protect herself from an onslaught of flies
Wearing the item like a veil, Carrie was still able to smile, despite having to endure the pesky insects.
Captioning the images, Carrie said she refused to let the pesky critters ruin her week of Christmas tranquility.
‘The worst fly season in 40 years did not dampen the most amazing week with my sisters and nieces and our kids in Eagle Bay,’ she wrote.
‘The most perfect slice of heaven.’
The post was met with a deluge of comments from Carrie’s followers including Rove McManus who could not resist a cheeky quip.

‘Good to know head nets are in this year,’ he joked.
Another follower also pointed out Carrie’s unique headwear.
‘Trés net chic – colour coded for outfits and all! Love,’ they wrote
A third chimed in with a similar: ‘Absolutely love the look, you look amazing with the net. Merry Christmas Carrie.’
It comes after Carrie was announced as the Victorian Australian of the Year back in November.
The radio star earned the top gong thanks to her significant contributions to brain cancer research and awareness, raising over $27million since she set up Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation in 2015.
The charity was set up in loving memory of her late husband Greg Lange, who passed away following his battle with brain cancer in 2010.
A few years later in 2021, the 44–year–old started The Brain Cancer Centre, which ‘brings together leading researchers, doctors and institutions to develop new treatments and clinical trials,’ according to the website.
The program has managed to acquire an extra $45million of funding since its inception, which will help fund research projects across the country.
During the emotional ceremony, Carrie revealed that she felt uneasy about accepting the award.
It is, of course, Carrie Bickmore. ‘The worst fly season in 40 years did not dampen the most amazing week with my sisters and nieces and our kids in Eagle Bay,’ she wrote
‘I feel like there are so many people, not only in the brain cancer space but in the world, that are doing incredible things. It made me deeply uncomfortable,’ she confessed.
However, despite her initial discomfort, she admitted that she’d be a ‘coward’ if she didn’t accept the nomination on behalf of the broader cancer community.
Carrie went on to reflect on her late husband’s cancer journey, which was a catalyst in her involvement in brain cancer research.
‘While I graciously accept the award, if I could go back and make that little 21–year–old, young Carrie not have to watch her boyfriend have a seizure in bed and then endure a nine year battle with brain cancer — I would do that,’ she shared.
She dubbed it ‘one of the most horrific things’ she’s ever watched before admitting it took her a long time to know what to do afterwards.
‘Then I realised with my platform, that I had the ability to make sure that no other amazing man like Greg, no other young girl like myself — who hadn’t even had a chance to work out what life was going to be for her — (would) have to go through something like that.’
