Chris Hemworth’s wife Elsa Pataky has shared a tribute to some real-life heroes as the floods continue to devastate northern NSW and Queensland.
The 45-year-old model, who lives in Byron Bay with her actor husband, took to Instagram to thank the heroes who were out saving lives.
“Northern Rivers and beyond had been hit by the worst floods in history. People have spent hours waiting on rooftops to be rescued,” she wrote in a post accompanying several images depicting the devastation.

“Thanks to all those who are able to help save people and animals stranded by the floodwaters, you are the real heroes.
“So amazing to watch how everyone pulls together in a disaster and helps the community. Our hearts go out to those affected by the floods. Stay safe!”
Days earlier, Pataky shared her own experience with the flood crisis, revealing how the floodwaters had stopped her from taking her daughter to school.
In a video she shared online, Pataky can be seen abandoning the car and heading to school on foot.
“I don’t think [we] will make it to school today,” she captioned the clip.
Her message comes as approximately 400,000 people from Lismore, Brisbane and Ballina have been forced to evacuate.
On Wednesday, the national death toll from the floods stood at 10, after bodies were recovered in Lismore and Glen Esk, Queensland.
