Drumroll, please… the Top Tourism Town Award (for towns with more than 5,000 residents) in 2024 went to the charming Tasmanian town of Devonport. Located along the stunning north-west coast where mountains meet the sea, this waterfront gem is much more than just a landing pad for Spirit of Tasmania ferries. It’s small enough that you can take peaceful bushland walks, swim at secluded beaches, and have the whole rocky coastline to yourself. Yet, it’s big enough to boast all the luxuries of city life, including a sparkly new waterfront precinct, boutique stays, trendy cafés and a thriving arts scene
