Caloundra crowned one of Australia’s top tourism towns

Caloundra is officially one of Australia’s leading tourism destinations, scoring a podium finish at the 2023 Australian Top Tourism Town Awards.

Caloundra finished in the top three at the prestigious awards, adding to its stunning gold medal at the Queensland tourism awards earlier in the year.

Thank you to the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce team who proudly created the winning tourism application and everyone who supported this beautiful destination we call home.

Congratulations also to Mandurah, WA for taking out the Top Tourism Town crown and the other finalists and category winners. 

And a big shout out to our fellow Queenslanders Joel’s Journeys, and Airlie Beach, Queensland who both placed second in the Tour Guide and Small Tourism Town categories.
