Exmouth brings home gold for the second year in a row and will go on to compete at the national level
This year was an especially big one for our town, thanks to the 2023 Total Solar Eclipse. The Visitor Centre, local businesses, tour operators, and volunteers pulled together to welcome nearly 20,000 visitors from across the globe to our remote slice of paradise, leaving them with memories they'll treasure for a lifetime. This award is a testament to the spirit of collaboration and teamwork in Exmouth.
Shire President Darlene Allston
