That must have been some flight with Kate Gosselin and all 8 of her kids on a 20-hour-long journey to Australia.

It looks like Kate is already putting the exhausting flight behind her, relaxing in her bikini poolside this morning in the city of Brisbane. The Dancing With the Stars babe looked great in her white two-piece.

Her bodyguard Steve Neild is with Kate on the trip.

Kate is in Australia to shoot episodes for her TLC reality show Kate Plus 8, but it was a trip her ex-husband Jon had tried to stop.

Jon unsuccessfully went to court to prevent the children from going. But a judge ok'd the trip.
