Denmark is where the forest literally meets the sea. The Denmark Region offers much to every traveller. Set astride the Denmark River, the town of Denmark is a wonderfully vibrant culturally-rich town surrounded by trees and natural beauty. Our state's emblem resides in the waterways of Denmark and is known to the aboriginal community as 'Koorabup' meaning 'place of the Black Swan'.

The Region to Explore...
The Wilson Inlet covers almost fifty square kilometres of water and is separated from the sea by a sandbar, which is opened yearly. The William Bay National Park is located only a short drive west out of Denmark town. This is where Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks can be found.

History

The first European to explore the district was Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson in 1829. A surgeon with the Royal Navy Wilson decided to explore the land to the west of Albany while his ship was laid up in King George III Sound.

The Wilson Inlet was named after him by Governor Stirling and Wilson named Denmark after a colleague, Dr Alexander Denmark.
