Aussie Luxury! Australia’s ten most expensive houses

They say good things come in small packages and that may be true. But when it comes to Australia’s largest houses, that is certainly not the case. These properties are beautiful – although it goes without saying, they are not in the price range of almost 99% of Australians, in fact, far from it. When you see the price tags on some of these not-so-humble dwellings, it will probably make your jaw drop. Then again it might inspire you to make your first million.

So, without further ado, here are Australia’s most expensive houses.
