Kate Gosselin allowed her ex-husband Jon to speak with their eight kids recently during their action packed trip to Australia and New Zealand, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

That part of the world was hit with some freakish floods during the adventurous expedition which Jon did not want his family to take, leaving the infamous former reality dad on tender-hooks.

So far, 16 people have been killed in the floods with a reported 43 people missing in Brisbane - which Kate and her family visited recently.

Kate and her brood are about to return to America and thankfully it looks like the kids will be returned safe and sound to their father.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Naturally, Jon was worried because his kids were so far away and in an area that was hit by the freaky weather.

“But to her credit Kate kept him posted and he was allowed to talk to his kids on the phone - who saw the trip as a huge adventure.

“Luckily, they missed the worst of the floods and they should return safe and sound to America shortly so that Jon can be re-united with them again.”

Australia’s northeastern state of Queensland has been flooded by drenching rains that began in November sending rivers spilling over their banks and flooding huge areas.

RadarOnline.com broke the story that Kate was going on the two-week trip that will be shown on her TLC reality show Kate Plus 8.

The network paid for the trip and Kate was also accompanied by her bodyguard Steve Nield who is originally from New Zealand.

Jon had tried to get a Pennsylvania Judge to block the trip because he wanted to spend New Year with his kids.

But the judge at Berks County Court ruled that Kate could take the children down-under because it was work related.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gosselin also tried to prevent Kate from doing her own reality show after the couple divorced once their original series, Jon & Kate Plus 8, ended.

But the courts in Pennsylvania allowed the controversial mom to keep filming with her kids.

The couple are due back in the same court later this month for a custody update hearing.

Greedy, moneygrubbing, child laborer, pimping Monster Mom ALLOWED the G8's father to speak to his kids?! Anyone see something WRONG w/ that statement?! Parental alienation. Interference with parent-child visitation. The kids WILL remember.

Sure she let them talk to him was probably ordered to by court since they let her drag the kids out of school to "work". Great Mom? Yea sure keep beleving that

Kate would give her life to make sure the kids were safe. Remember how dangerous it was for her to even try to carry them as long as she did! Kate is a great mom and I respect her excellent parenting skills.

Of course kate allowed the kids to speak with Dufus. She is always very fair about the kids contacts with him, EVEN THOUGH HE DID ABANDON THEM FOR OVER TWO MONTHS to try to be a wannabe playboy..another failure of his long list!
