Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are heading Down Under — they’re reportedly set to tour Australia!

The Twilight stars — currently in Vancouver, Canada, shooting Eclipse — will apparently embark on a tour of Oz to promote Twilight sequel New Moon, which hits theaters in November.

“Movie bosses are pushing for Rob and Kristen to make a promotional push together through Australia,” a source told Aussie tabloid Famous.

The tab also claimed that negotiations are taking place for Rob and Kristen to put in an appearance at the Australian Nickeloden Kids’ Choice Awards. A rep for the KCA’s said “An announcement will be pending”.

Kristen’s mother is Australian and Kristen has expressed a desire to visit. “She wants to check out her roots and bring Rob,” the source added.

But if the trip doesn’t go ahead as planned, “there is the possibility Rob and Kristen may quietly slip into the country for a holiday at Christmas,” the insider added.

Rob, 23, and Kristen, 19, on Tuesday enjoyed a late night dinner with friends and their managers at Pinky’s Steakhouse and Cocktail Lounge in Vancouver.

“They ate and they enjoyed themselves,” a source said. “When they were done with their meal, they dashed from the restaurant into waiting cabs en route to their hotel.”

Once they arrived at the hotel, the hunky 23-year-old tried to block the paparazzi from taking pictures of Stewart, “using his body as a shield,” the source says, adding, “it was very clear … Rob and Kristen were a couple.”
