When you're an American entertainer on tour in Australia and seeking a bit of r&r, the obvious place to visit is movie star Russell Crowe's farm.

American actor and singer Kris Kristofferson is heading Downunder this month for a music tour. And the entertainer has added to his itinerary a trip to good friend Crowe's farm at Nana Glen near Coffs Harbour.

Kristofferson who has been to Australia a couple of times, said he was looking forward to the trip.

"I'm not bringing all my eight kids," said the 70-year-old, who is married to Lisa Meyers after two earlier marriages ended in divorce, "but I'm bringing five of them."
