Pemberton Shines with Silver at the WA Tiny Tourism Town Awards.

Pemberton has done it again — earning a proud Silver at the WA Tiny Tourism Town Awards, standing tall alongside Kalbarri, which claimed Gold, and Walpole, which secured Bronze. It’s a fantastic achievement for all three destinations, each offering its own flavour of Western Australia’s natural beauty and community spirit.

A Big Congratulations to All Finalists

Every finalist in this year’s awards contributed something special to WA’s tourism landscape. These towns aren’t just dots on a map — they’re places shaped by passionate locals, unique attractions, and the kind of hospitality that keeps visitors coming back. Celebrating them all is celebrating the heart of regional Western Australia.

Why Pemberton Continues to Win Hearts

Pemberton’s Silver win isn’t just well deserved — it’s a reflection of what makes this town unforgettable.

• Towering Karri Forests — Few places in Australia offer the immersive, cathedral-like beauty of old-growth karri. Walking or driving through these forests feels like stepping into another world.
• Adventure and Outdoors — From climbing the iconic Gloucester Tree to exploring the Yeagarup Dunes, Pemberton is a playground for nature lovers and thrill-seekers.
• Local Flavours — Boutique wineries, farm-fresh produce, and artisan makers give the region a culinary identity that punches well above its size.
• Community Spirit — What truly elevates Pemberton is its people. The warmth, pride, and creativity of locals shape every event, every experience, and every visitor’s memory.

A Moment Worth Celebrating

This Silver award is more than recognition — it’s momentum. It highlights Pemberton’s growing reputation as a must-visit destination and honours the hard work of local businesses, volunteers, and tourism champions who make the town shine.

And with Kalbarri taking Gold and Walpole earning Bronze, it’s clear that WA’s small towns are delivering big experiences.
