The five-bedroom home is on an absolute beachfront site of about 520sq m and is among many multimillion-dollar properties in the street.

“Rock Or Bust” was released on December 2. The 11-song set is AC/DC‘s first without guitarist Malcolm Young, who is suffering from dementia. He has been replaced by nephew Stevie Young.
