Natalie Bassingthwaighte set for Byron Bay move
Natalie Bassingthwaighte and her family are set to make the move to Byron Bay.
The Wollongong-born former Neighbours star, her drummer husband Cameron McGlinchey and their two children have sold their home in Melbourne’s bayside Brighton (pictured above).
They’ll be renting first before buying acreage in the hinterland.
The redundant Brighton home cost $2,525,000 shortly after selling her former Elizabeth Bay apartment for $830,000.
The couple, who wed in 2011, have been together since 2006 when they met while in the band Rogue Traders, which is reforming.
“I’m ready for the next chapter in my life,” she told her social media followers.
Bassingthwaighte has also closed her children’s clothing label Chi Khi.
She soon finishes up as Roxie Hart in what she has described as her “dream role” in the production of Chicago in Melbourne.
They’re joining the rush of Melburnians making the move to the NSW hot spot for influencers.
Model and Myer ambassador Elyse Knowles and boyfriend Josh Barker did it last year, fresh from winning The Block Elsternwick.
The couple have been renting a home 700m from Tallow Beach, with plenty of space for their much photographed Weimaraner dogs Isla and Harlow.
It came with an established organic fruit tree orchard, including mangoes, bananas and papaya.
The big news out of Byron this week was the entrepreneurial sea-changers Tom Lane and wife Emma are seeking buyers for their organic business incubator, The Farm at Ewingsdale. The buyers are being offered the whole, or just a stake in the farm.
