Kylie buys home on isolated island

Kylie Minogue has bought a house on an isolated island, so that she can escape from the paparazzi when she needs a break.

The singer spent over £160,000 on the retreat, which is located on French Island, 65km southeast of Melbourne.

The island has no power, sewers or sealed roads, and only 90 other residents for Kylie to share with.

Estate agent Hendrik Boer told the Herald Sun, "It is just a nice place to get away from the crowds and paparazzi. The family can come and relax here and they know they will not be bothered.

"There are some gorgeous beachfront properties on the island, but they did not even want to look at them, probably because they didn't want an armada of boats floating outside."
