Sydney  -  Supermodel and businesswoman Elle Macpherson is tired of living in London and is planning to return home to Australia, news reports from Britain said Sunday.

"Elle has had enough of living in London," Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper quoted a friend of Macpherson as saying. "She just finds it too busy. She has decided she wants to move back to Australia for a more simple life."

Macpherson, 45, moved to London 10 years ago and lives with sons Flynn, 9, and Aurelius Cy, 4, in a seven-storey townhouse in Notting Hill.

"Estate agents have been round and auctioneers have been in to value all the furniture. It's all happening," the paper quoted the friend as saying. (dpa)
