Elyse tenderly touched her growing stomach as she stunned in a strapless rust coloured bikini top with a black sarong wrapped around her lower waist.

She completed the look with a beige corduroy bucket hat and accessorised with a simple gold necklace and a shell anklet. 

The reality star and Myer model wore her blonde hair loose and shaded her eyes with a pair of tortoise shell sunglasses, as she carried a large cream tote bag.

Pregnancy certainly hasn’t slowed Elyse down, with the blonde beauty appearing full of energy during the stroll. 

She was spotted walking along the waters edge with her Weimaraner dogs, who appeared to be enjoying the exercise.  

Following their stroll, she was pictured walking back to the car park carrying what appeared to be two dog poo bags.

Elyse told The Daily Telegraph earlier this month that she battled morning sickness during her first trimester, and that she struggled to keep food down.

During this difficult time, Elyse ate a carbohydrate-heavy diet of freshly-baked bread and pasta with a generous squeeze of bottled tomato sauce.

Luckily, Elyse has since recovered and is feeling ‘much better and alive now’.
