‘Barack and I just got back from Australia and we loved every minute of this trip!’ the former First Lady gushed in her caption.

‘From visiting the famous Sydney Opera House to exploring the beautiful wildlife to catching up with great friends, this was the perfect first visit for me’ she continued. 

‘I am so grateful for the generosity and hospitality the Australian people showed me and Barack everywhere we went.

Michelle included a series of intimate snaps in her story.

Meanwhile, Michelle posted another photo that features the Obamas surveilling the magnificent and recently renovated main concert hall at the Sydney Opera House.
