Tom Dwan has been missing in action for months.

The former Full Tilt Pro has gone radio silent, with no official word of his whereabouts since September when he mysteriously Tweeted 'Leaving LA now...maybe back here soon.'

But now, it emerges, durrrr is actually in south eastern Australia where the country's biggest poker tournament - the $10,600 Aussie Millions Main Event - gets underway in just 48 hours.

Dwan's girlfriend - who insists the couple are just on a family vacation - unexpectedly Tweeted a pictures of the star outside the Sydney Opera House two days ago.

She wrote: "At Sydney Opera House with Tom, Sydney harbour is sooo beautiful glad we came."

In the snap, Dwan - who was wearing sunglasses - looks relaxed and appears to have grown his hair.

Sydney is a two-day drive (440 miles) from the Crown Casino in Melbourne, where the big action kicks off on Sunday.

But the 25-year-old may be on the move.

A second snap, posted just hours ago, shows durrr, grinning broadly, and posing with a koala bear at an animal sanctuary.  

And for all those budding Sherlock Holmes's out there, yes, the majority of Australia's koala parks are indeed along the main coastal highway between Sydney and...Melbourne!

Fans will hope his timely trip to Australia marks the public comeback of one of the games most exciting online players.

Dwan, who also boasts seven WSOP cash finishes and live tournament winnings of more than $2.1million, is still officially contracted to Full Tilt Poker, despite the site's Black Friday shutdown last year.
