Mariah Carey is ensuring her latest Australian adventure is a family affair.

Accompanied by husband Nick Cannon and their adorable twins Monroe and Moroccan, the premium diva is in Sydney ahead of her sell-out mini-tour in the region, which sets sail on New Years Eve.

The live dates kick-off mark an official return to the spotlight for the 42 year old, who is gearing up for the January debut of the  American Idol – which she is judging on alongside Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, and her manager Randy Jackson.

For now, though, peep more pics of the Carey-Cannon’s Down Under below…
