Nicole Kidman celebrated her birthday with husband Keith Urban, after he paid her a surprise visit.

The actress, who turned 40 last Wednesday (20.06.07), was thrilled when Keith took a break from his US tour to see her in Australia.

The country singer arrived in Sydney early on Tuesday morning (19.06.07), before taking a private jet to Queensland's Whitsunday Coast - where Nicole is filming new movie 'Australia' opposite Hugh Jackman.

The couple celebrated the landmark birthday by watching a fireworks display from a mountain-top lookout in the beach town of Bowen.

A source told Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Keith brought her up the hill and they sat on a couch outside on the lawn. It was so romantic.

"He had planned to have a party in a mountain-top restaurant but she wanted a quiet affair. So Keith just surprised her with a fireworks display. It was a private thing with just him and her."

The display ended with the words 'Happy Birthday Nicole' spelt out by fireworks.

Nicole and Keith - who celebrate their first wedding anniversary today (25.06.07) - also visited nearby Horseshoe Bay beach.

Keith, 39, is set to recommence with his 'Love, Pain and the whole crazy World Tour' next week.

'Australia' director Baz Luhrmann - who worked with Nicole on 'Moulin Rouge' - also threw the flame-haired actress a birthday party.

Luhrmann arranged for Nicole's favourite caterers to be flown in from the US to prepare a sumptuous birthday meal.
