I recently stumbled upon this juicy little tidbit about Mark & Louella Tuckey's Clareville home (which they purchased in March 2009): "The Clareville beachfront bungalow "Iluka" has been sold for about $3.1 million through LJ Hooker Avalon agent David Watson. The classic 1950s P&O style beach house with mid-1990s extension by architect Alex Popov last traded at $1,575,000 in 1999. Iluka was once known worldwide when it was used as a set location in the television soap, Home And Away. It has been bought by Mark Tuckey, the Melbourne timber furniture maker who, with his interior designer wife, Louella, now have a Newport Beach shop."
