Australia's Islands Make Top Spot

The Great Barrier Reef Islands had fallen out of the top 10 in last year's poll, but have just now made it back into the prestigious top 10, placed 10th best in the world. This also meant that they were awarded the number one spot for Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific islands, beating off strong competition from Queensland's Fraser Island in second place, Fiji's islands, Bora-Bora and Tasmania.
