She has a younger brother named Matthew. During her childhood, Kerr revealed she "raced motorbikes and rode horses on [her] grandmother’s farm" and describes her early life in the Australian countryside as "very grounding ... there wasn’t any pretentiousness and no one really cared what you were wearing.

[edit] Career [edit] Early career At thirteen, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly Magazine/Impulse Model Competition and was flown to Sydney a week before her fourteenth birthday to shoot for the magazine. Upon winning, local media expressed 'concerned outrage' at her young age and rose concern about the glorification of young girls within the entertainment industry, suggesting her youthful covers in skimpy attire constituted soft-core pornography.[4] Media publications also took her youth as an opportunity to debate the objectification of young girls within the fashion and beauty industry,[4] with some conservative media outlets claiming her Dolly shoot (including images of fourteen year old Kerr in bathing suits) constituted child pornography. Of the press, Kerr said: "In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with paedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing."[3] This article is about the metropolitan area in Australia. ...
