The Austrian we all know and love, Arnold Schwarzenegger is in Australia, and really seems to be enjoying himself.

The 69-year-old has come Down Under as part of his Arnold Classic Australia Tour. In Melbourne, hundreds gathered in Federation Square to hear him speak and kick off the Arnold Family Walk.

In Sydney, he has wasted no time in enjoying Australian culture and weather, while supporting good causes.

The former Californian Governor was photographed with NSW Police this morning, reportedly telling everyone to "GET TO THE CHOPPER". Earlier, he made a surprise visit to PCYC South Sydney.

Schwarzenegger has also enjoyed a harbour cruise in Sydney over the weekend.

While it isn't his first time in Australia, the hype surrounding the movie star's visit has not subsided. One fan displayed her love for Arnie by declaring herself 'Mrs. Schwarzenegger' , after just a handshake.
