Vibe: Prue and Trude at home

It’s about the closest thing you’ll get to a gated community without actually being one.This place attracts the more mature person, or someone with a healthy stock portfolio. Vaucluse is brimming with natural beauty - parks, historic homesteads, great beaches, bush walks. And it gets its name from a kidnapper! (More information below and to your left <<<)
