Singer adds to Australian investors

The ranks of Britons buying overseas property in Australia have been joined by singer Robbie Williams.

Former Take That member Williams has opted to buy a property in the outback near the town of Daly waters in the Northern Territory.

He recently visited Australia with girlfriend Ayda Field and the move comes after he spoke publicly about investing in the country.

The outback retreat may provide a contrast with his other homes in London and Los Angeles and those keen to move away from a city in Britain might find it attractive to find a place in Australia away from major centres of population.

People from different countries are increasingly favouring Australia as a place to emigrate to, figures published last week indicated.

Data from the Australian Visa Bureau showed that there had been a 25 per cent rise in Irish visa applications in 2009, as well as a 13 per cent increase from Canadians.
