Kate Gosselin: New Year in Australia?

Kate Gosselin checks her phone while on her way to Planet Nails & Tan on Wednesday (December 29) in Wyomissing, Penn.

The 35-year-old mom of eight is reportedly flying to Australia with her kids to ring in 2011 while filming their reality show, Kate Plus Eight.

The family will jet Down Under and also visit New Zealand, Radar Online reports.

“Obviously, Jon was informed of the excursion and the kids will not see their father again until mid-January when they return to America with their mom,” said a source.
