THE 2023 Victoria’s Tiny Tourism Town awards have announced their winners, with Aireys Inlet taking home the gold, Red Hill South securing silver, and Jamieson receiving the bronze. Aireys Inlet, a delightful small coastal town, has been given the remarkable opportunity to represent Victoria in the highly esteemed Australian Top Tourism Town Awards.
These awards celebrate the distinct charm and attractions of tiny towns, highlighting their ability to captivate visitors and deliver an exceptional tourism experience within Victoria.
Representing Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley in the awards, Murchison also received well-deserved recognition as a local gem that offers an enchanting experience to travellers while providing respite from the fast-paced world with its captivating attractions and warm and friendly hospitality.
In light of Murchison’s outstanding community response during the October 2022 flood event and to support the region’s flood recovery, the Greater Shepparton City Council nominated the town for the 2023 Victorian Tiny Tourism Town award. Murchison’s selection as a finalist not only made it a perfect representative but also brought great pride to the entire region.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, congratulated the winning destinations and acknowledged Murchison’s tourism industry and community for their amazing efforts in welcoming visitors and promoting their town.
“We loved seeing the spirit of the community flourish after Murchison became a finalist, people excited about the awards, voting, connecting with local businesses, and promoting the town with friends and relatives,” he said.
