“This is a wonderful achievement for Noosa, and we’re honoured to be recognised as one of the top three regional towns in Australia,” she said.

Australian Traveller Managing Director Quentin Long said the list should inspire Australians to travel within the country.

“With the Best Towns issue, our objective is to give readers a list of towns they can put on their lists of places to visit,” he said.

“For us, it’s all about inspiring Australians and making it easier for them to get out and see their own country,” he said.
