Sydney ‘named top Australian destination’

Sydney has been named as the best place to visit in Australia for the second time.

More people could be planning to book flights to Sydney soon after the city was named as the best place to visit in Australia.

The city was named as the top place to visit in a poll carried out by accommodation website Wotif.com, which saw Melbourne held back in second place, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

In addition, the Gold Coast was ranked in third place and Brisbane followed soon behind, being named the fourth best location to visit in Australia.
“It’s great to see everyone managed to maintain their spots, particularly in some of the smaller regions,” said Megan Magill from the website.

However, Queensland was the big winner of the survey, as it had eight destinations named in the top 20 places.

A big attraction for many people planning to take flights to Sydney could be the weather, with the city recently seeing temperatures of 39 degrees C, far higher than the seasonal average for the city.
