The supermodel has been living in Sydney for the past 18 months, and she's made it clear—she's fallen hard for life Down Under. For Banks, Australia is more than just a business venture; it's a place that feels like home. 'It's very special to me, very special to my family,' the America's Next Top Model host told Daily Mail Australia.

'The people are so warm, so kind, so helpful. You'll be lost, and they'll be like, 'Do you want me to walk you there?' I'm like, 'Oh, okay.'. Banks confessed that even her mother is enamoured with the country. 'My mum can't believe we're here. She's like, 'This is crazy!' Tyra revealed.

'Australia's not real to Americans. I know you guys, this is where you're from, but this is like fantasy land.'. Tyra has fully embraced the Aussie way of life, trading designer boutiques for shopping trips to Kmart. 'I went the other day and bought stuff for our kitchen,' she said with a laugh. 'Kmart here is fancy! Where's the cheque? This is ridiculous—I just keep talking about it!'.
