Nicole Kidman shared a glimpse into her and her husband Keith Urban's life via an Instagram post. The couple appear to be vacationing near their native Australia. They spent the holiday there to be with family and wrap up Keith's tour.

Nicole posted several photos and a cute video clip to her Instagram. In the video, she watches an animal get out of a "rubbish" bin as Keith filmed the moment on his phone. Keith says as she approaches the garbage, "You gonna put that in the trash, baby or...?" As the animal comes out, she says, "You're not rubbish, no." The animal runs to the roof of an awning, and she says, "Look at you, you're not rubbish; you're wonderous." Urban laughs and says, "Yeah, you shouldn't put yourself down like that." Nicole says, "Don't put yourself down," and Keith adds, "You're better than that," and they both laugh. She captioned the clip, which was shot in Tasmania, "The beauty of Cradle Mountain."

Many fans commented, including Nic's friend and fellow actress Reese Witherspoon, who asked, "What is that thing ??!!" A fan commented, "Wow, that is beautiful." One more fan wrote, "Looks like a beautiful place."

In August, Keith and Nicole visited Nashville's Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, played games, and chatted with the children. Not long after their visit, Nicole took to her Instagram to post about something she, Keith, and their daughters had done to keep their lives and the people around them safe.

Nicole wrote with an image of her holding a card certifying her in medical skills, "CPR, AED & basic first aid are invaluable skills to learn because they allow you to provide medical care until emergency medical services arrive. My family and I became certified last week because you never know when an emergency will occur and who will be affected.#CPRChoice."

Keith Urban is a superstar in country music and a gem of a man who plays the guitar like no one else before him or since. His concerts are epic, and he changes them for each city he is in to fit that city.

Recently in Nashville, he bought up-and-coming country singer, who sang in the bar across the street from the Bridgestone Arena, to sing with him giving her two songs and one heck of a push in the music industry.

In the same show, he brought out superstar Luke Combs to sing a couple of songs and even brought his wife, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman to the stage just to say hi to his fans.

It's hard to find just 20 songs that encompass the mega-career of Urban, but we ranked what we believe are his very best for his 55th birthday today (10/26).
