Denmark - Discover the Difference

Denmark Western Australia, home to the world famous Tree Top Walk, is located where the forest meets the sea, 400 kilometres south of the capital, Perth. Accessible by road and air, its popular appeal is based on its natural beauty, village atmosphere and delightful, mild climate.

Denmark offers a range of experiences as diverse as the scenery around it - you will find some of Australia's finest wineries, discover a wealth of creative artistry, and can explore world-class natural and built attractions, centred on a wide variety of accommodation and facilities, to suit everyone from five-star travellers to backpackers, and singles to families.

Aborigines had already inhabited the area for more than 40 000 years when, in 1829 Thomas Braidwood Wilson became the first European to explore the region, naming the local river (called 'Kurrabup' by the indigenous people) in honour of his friend, English naval surgeon Dr Alexander Denmark.

A timber industry established here 65 years later lasted a mere decade, leaving in its wake only a few hardy settlers. Following world war 2 improvements to agriculture and a revival in timber cutting rejuvenated the district, and the population has grown at an average 4% per year since the mid-1980s, supporting new settlers and innovative industries.

Today, Denmark is the jewel in the crown of the south coast region: a thriving, diverse community which proudly proclaims its special place and unique environmental heritage.
