Chris Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to Leonie and Craig Hemsworth. He was raised both there and in "Northern Territory, in a little Aboriginal community in the Outback, [called] Bulman," he said. "My earliest memories were on the cattle stations up in the Outback, and then we moved back to Melbourne and then back out there and then back again. Certainly most of my childhood was in Melbourne but probably my most vivid memories were up there in Bulman with crocodiles and buffalo. Very different walks of life." He attended high school at Heathmont College before his family again returned to the Northern Territory before moving a few years later, to Phillip Island.
