Australia is famous for attracting celebrities, and this year promises to be no different with the opening of a luxury hotel, the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival and the 2009 Australian Open.

Also on offer is a new penguin exhibition, International Pinot Noir Celebration, the world’s oldest surf competition, Rip Curl Pro, and Australia’s first dedicated walking lodge at Great Ocean Road. Read on to find out more...

Kylie Minogue

Pop star Kylie Minogue has lowered the sale price of her Australian retreat, as nobody is willing to pay the original asking price.

Located on the Western Port Bay of the virgin French Island, southeast of Melbourne, the house was initially priced at £550,000.

Now, the singer is asking for anything between £435,000 and £480,000 for the four-bedroom estate.

The area has only 100 habitants, and no electricity or gas, making it a perfect hideaway for celebrities.

It served as Kylie’s haven in 2005, during her battle against breast cancer.
