"With thousands of entries across the six categories, the awards show Australians are eager to share their local travel favourites," she said. "However, it is the classic sausage roll which caused the most debate, earning the title of the most voted category by Aussies.

The classic finger bun has been transformed into a gourmet treat thanks to Humble Bakery in Sydney.

Best Hotel Bar: The Terrace Rooftop Bar at Emporium Hotel South Bank, Brisbane QLD. Owned and operated by a local Brisbane couple, the Terrace Rooftop Bar is an architectural wonder not to be missed.
At the Terrace you won't just be taking in the drinks but the panoramic vistas that offer a view of the city and beyond, framed by the innovative design of a retractable ceiling and expansive doors that open into the South Bank Parklands. Best Surf Club: Henley Surf Life Saving Club, Henley Beach SA. As the first surf lifesaving club in South Australia, Henley Surf Life Saving Club will celebrate 100 years in 2025.
It's no ordinary surf club, with strong family first and community values, and a new Italian-inspired bistro. Best Lookout Point: Wineglass Bay Lookout, Freycinet TAS. One of Tasmania's most celebrated views overlooks the clear waters and curvaceous white beach of Wineglass Bay, which occasionally offers sightings of whales and dolphins.
A beautifully constructed 1.3km track takes you up through the coastal woodland, past striking granite boulders, to the lookout point. Best Sausage Roll: Kenilworth Bakery, Kenilworth QLD Located in a World Heritage-listed building, Kenilworth Bakery is truly an Australian icon tucked away in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
The bakery offers an abundance of baked goods including its flaky and flavourful sausage roll. Best Regional Museum: National Wool Museum, Geelong VIC. Geelong has been known as the "wool centre of the world" for many years, and at the National Wool Museum, you can find out why.
Previously a wool store itself, the museum is home to everything you need to know about the production, processes and manufacturing of wool. After visiting the museum, travellers can indulge in the museum's shop, home to the highest quality woollen garments, or visit one of the many restaurants near Geelong's waterfront. Eden Killer Whale Museum on the Far South Coast was the NSW finalist for best Regional Museum.
