The celebrations began Thursday at a private mansion where the group was able to let off steam.
While eldest brother Luke and his wife Samantha were nowhere to be seen.

Liam grabbed the PDA with his model friend Gabriella Brooks and shared a passionate kiss as he curled up with the glamorous blonde as they soaked up the sun.
A close family friend – model and actress Michele Merkin, who is friends with the Thor star and his wife Elsa Pataky – was spotted playfully cuddling and joking with Chris.
It’s no secret that the Hemsworth clan know how to party.
Chris and his wife Elsa left Hollywood three years ago to throw an annual New Year’s Eve party in Byron Bay.
The couple spares no expense, with each year the event growing bigger and more sumptuous.

An invitation to her themed party is the hottest ticket in Byron Bay.
But before the three Hemsworth brothers made it big on screen, they spent their early childhood on a cattle station in the Northern Territory.
Mother Leonie was an English teacher and Craig was a child protection consultant.
The family later moved to Phillip Island in Victoria where all three brothers discovered their love for surfing.
