Vote for Australia’s Best Town!

Australian Traveller Magazine has launched its latest search for Australia’s Best Town, and we’re calling on you to vote and help spread the word.


Yamba famously took top spot in the 100 Best Towns in Australia in 2009 and ranked 7th when the magazine revisited the list 10 years later in 2019. It’s that time again and you can have your say in this survey.
Surely Yamba is worthy of the top gong yet again! However, Yamba’s not the only great town in this beautiful valley, and with up to five votes you can include plenty of Clarence Valley marvels in your list:
• Grafton – the Jacaranda City and home of the July Racing Carnival
• Maclean – The Scottish town in Australia
• Iluka – Hidden gem whose name means ‘near the sea
• Wooli – Legendary fishing spot and home of the Australian Goanna Pulling Championships
• Ulmarra – Historic village on the Clarence
• Angourie – Arguably the best point break on the east coast
• Plus, so many more little gems.
Take your pick!
