Dwellingup has officially been named as the country's Top Tiny Tourism Town for 2023!

The award was announced at the national Top Tourism Town Awards in Parliament House today. 

These awards aim to recognise and reward towns across Australia that show a commitment to encouraging tourism increasing visitation to their destination. 

In May, Dwellingup was crowned as Western Australia's Top Tiny Tourism Town and a finalist for the national awards. 

The WA town was competing against Aireys Inlet (VIC), Huskisson (NSW), Port Broughton (SA), Stanley (TAS), Winton (QLD), and Yuendumu (NT). 

Shire of Murray President, Councillor David Bolt, said it is a well deserved national recognition for Dwellingup. 

"We have focused on promoting Dwellingup's natural beauty and authentic country charm, and secured Dwellingup's position as the State's best trails and adventure destination," Mr Bolt said. 

"I would like to thank everyone in Dwellingup’s tourism industry for the passion you all apply in making it such a stand-out place to visit."
