Louis Tomlinson was enjoying the sights of Sydney on Thursday.
The One Direction star, who is in Australia for a solo tour, was spotted at Sydney Seaplane, where he took a cruise on a small boat across the harbour.
The 34-year-old had taken part in a short meet-and-greet with fans before playing tourist at the picturesque seaside.
The singer dressed down for the outing, wearing a loose, well-loved white T-shirt over another long-sleeved shirt.
He added a pair of faded blue jeans, and completed the look with white sneakers.
Louis shielded his eyes with a pair of round sunglasses, and appeared relaxed during the casual outing.

Louis is in Australia for the latest leg of his How Did We Get Here? World Tour.
He flew into Melbourne Airport where he attempted to go incognito, hiding under a hoodie, which he wore with the hood up, and sunglasses.
But it was hard to miss his entourage, which included a number of burly security guards.
The Back to You singer began his Australian tour with a gig at John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Tuesday night.
He then headed to Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday, before a date at Riverstage in Brisbane on Saturday.
Tomlinson was last in Australia for his Faith in the Future world tour in 2024.

The performer has toured extensively in recent months, and was joined by his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan at a gig in Paris in April.
While Tomlinson may have been part of one of the UK's biggest boy bands, fans can't expect him to launch into One Direction's most successful hit at his solo gigs.
Louis has confessed that he didn't enjoy performing What Makes You Beautiful, which launched the group into global stardom in 2011.
He told BBC Radio 2 that he had, 'Two reasons on that, it's definitely our most pop and most bubblegum pop moment.'
He added: 'Performing that always felt so eggy. At the time I was 18, and it wasn't the coolest thing to be in a boy band, and then we got really big, so it was cool... But for the first couple of years it wasn't really like that.
'So, you know, singing, "Baby, you light up my world like nobody else", honestly, it wouldn't be out of place in a Disney film, so it did just feel a little corny.'
