Trentham

Welcome to Trentham: Australia's Top Tiny Tourism Town!

Trentham has been named Top Tiny Tourism Town at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards for 2025! Our 'happening hamlet' took out the top spot against some formidable competition, including Robe (SA), Kalbarri (WA), Huskisson (NSW), Stanley (TAS), and Town of 1770 (QLD). This national award comes after Trentham won the 2025 Victoria Top Tourism Town in the Tiny Tourism Town category earlier this year, and we congratulate everyone involved.
