Trentham has been officially crowned Australia’s Top Tiny Tourism Town at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards, beating out strong competition from Robe (SA), Kalbarri (WA), Huskisson (NSW), Stanley (Tas), and Town of 1770 (Qld).
This national recognition follows Trentham’s win as Victoria’s Top Tiny Tourism Town in July 2025.
Trentham claimed the Gold Award, with Huskisson taking Silver and Town of 1770 Bronze.
Hepburn Shire Mayor, Cr Don Henderson, called the win a remarkable achievement for the town and the wider region.
“We are incredibly proud and excited to see the benefits this will bring to our community and local businesses,” Cr Henderson said. “Trentham stands out for its natural beauty, charm, community spirit, and visitor appeal. This coveted national award is recognition of Trentham’s unique tourism offerings.”
Council partnered with Destination Central Victoria (formerly Daylesford Macedon Tourism) to prepare the application and promotional video.
“Thank you to Council’s Economic Development team, Destination Central Victoria, and our local businesses for their hard work in submitting such a strong application. And a big thank you to all the visitors and community members who voted for Trentham. Our town is now recognised as the best tiny tourist town in Australia,” Cr Henderson said.
