Australia is known for many things like its beautiful landscape and beaches – but according to one travel expert, it's now home to the world's best scone? Look out, Devon and Cornwall!

A UK-based travel writer Andrea Black has dubbed a tiny, coastal town in New South Wales the place to be if you’re after a world-class scone.

She found them just north of Port Macquarie at Ricardoes Tomatoes, a strawberry and tomato farm which has a small café for tourists called Red.

She chronicled the experience in an article for Escape, writing that she had gone to Ricardoes for fresh tomatoes and instead had a ‘life-changing experience’.

“Can a scone melt in your mouth? Can a scone be light as a billowing cloud yet exude buttery tastiness? Can a scone be so delicious that days later you’re planning a two-hour return trip to said farm for more? Yes, yes and yes,” she wrote.

The travel writer said she has never tasted a scone as good as the one she was served at Red, despite the UK being home to the scone.

“I don’t claim to be a scone expert but have been a long-time fan. I’ve tasted scones at various morning and afternoon teas in England, sampled some of the best Scottish scones at my granny’s home near Edinburgh,” she said.
