We're going to be frank and honest from the get-go here, this article is essentially an excuse for us to spend a good chunk of our work day looking at pictures of Chris Hemsworth.

Can you blame us? No.

Will you also appreciate our dedication and enjoy these throwback photos? We hope so.

We all know Chris got his start at one of Australia's most famous TV towns – Summer Bay – portraying the character of Kim Hyde on Home and Away.

What you may not know, however, is that TV WEEK has a deep and extensive archive of photos from shows throughout the years. This archive is a goldmine and we're using it to dig up every single snap of Chris on Home And Away that we can, because we can.

Scroll on to see Chris' best Summer Bay moments below.
