Candid photos: Toni Collette returns to Australia after wrapping Season 2 of United States of Tara

Emmy-winner Toni Collette looked exhausted yesterday when she arrived in her native Australia after wrapping production on United States of Tara. The Showtime series’ second season completed filming in the States last week.

Collette took charge of daughter Sage Florence’s stroller at the Sydney airport, while her musician husband, Dave Galafassi, handled the family’s luggage. The long flight likely meant that Collette, who turned 37 on Saturday, spent her birthday in the air.

Here, she looks every inch the travel-weary, harried mom. It must be tough to juggle motherhood and an intercontinental career, yet Collette makes it look easy on screen. More pics are after the jump.
