Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Touch Down in Australia for Some Pre-Tour Fun

Pop couple head Down Under a few days before Carey is due to perform a series of shows

It's not just a g'day, but a good holiday for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon as they head to Australia in advance of the songstress's first tour of Oz in nearly 14 years.

The lovebirds, along with their two kids, flew by private jet from their wintry vacation getaway in Aspen, Colo., to the warmer climes of Queensland, where they quickly made their way to a luxury yacht anchored along the Great Barrier Reef.

There, they'll ring in the New Year as they sail around for the next few days before Carey kicks off the first show of her Australia leg along the Gold Coast on Jan. 1—with Cannon performing an opening DJ set.

The pair will then head to Sydney for a concert on Jan. 3 before wrapping things up in Melbourne on Jan. 5.
