Showing off his athletic prowess, the toned 6ft 2inch performer was seen enjoying the warm weather as he took to the water with a wet-suited Oscar on a foam board.

As the Les Miserables actor - also sporting his Wolverine chops - instructed his adopted son on the finer points of body boarding, Jackman's wife of 16 years, Deborah Lee Furness, stayed dry on the sand.

Earlier, the 56-year-old blonde took their seven-year-old daughter Ava to Eckersley's, an Australian arts and crafts supplies retailer, as she was seen carrying a small shopping bag from the chain.

Covering up in an all black ensemble, she wore her hair up in a messy ponytail and hid her eyes behind a pair of nude coloured rimmed sunglasses as she carried little Ava's pink Crocs.

The barefoot girly girl wrapped herself in a white towel, and was seen wearing purple striped trousers.

Jackman is known to transform his enviable body based on the role he takes on.

According to Total Film magazine, he consumed 'nothing but water' for 36 hours to prepare to play escaped prisoner 24601 Jean Valjean in the big-screen musical adaption of Les Miserables, released Christmas Day.

But then he had to pack on the pounds and regain his six-pack in order to then reprise his character Logan for The Wolverine.

The action flick, which is scheduled for release is the summer of 2013, is a direct sequel to the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
