Pop superstar Kylie Minogue once owned a Victorian island retreat. Victoria’s French Island has a population of 110 people, and it is self-sufficient, as it has no link to the mainland. Minogue owned a farm holding there from 2005 to 2010, though she also had a separate residential retreat called Beauciel.

French Island is environmentally sensitive, which is why it has so few residents, even though it is nearly twice the size of Phillip Island nearby. Minogue could only access the island by plane, boat, or helicopter. French Island is perfect for anyone who needs a break from society, which is understandable for Minogue, one of the most tabloid-covered pop stars of all time.
