Welcome to Denmark

A picturesque spot of contrasting images from forest, to river, to ocean, all equally stunning. Voted WA's top tourism town in 2015.

Denmark is situated on the south coast of Australia's South West tourist region. Denmark faces south to the Southern Ocean and is on the shores of the Wilson Inlet, a magnificent natural harbour. Denmark is surrounded by state forest and the Denmark River runs through the town. One of the best ways to get to Denmark is to hire a car from Perth Airport.

A bit of Denmark's history

Denmark was first explored by Dr. Thomas Braidwood Wilson in 1829, and the Wilson Inlet was named after him. Denmark became a town in 1895 with timber mills built by Edwin and Charles Millar. At their peak, the mills employed 750 men, but closed in 1905. By 1911, the government set up a dairying industry, and the town grew again.
