Since 1895 Denmark has been a prosperous town in Western Australia, and today hosts the famous Denmark Markets which happen at Easter and Christmas. There are numerous other events throughout the year adding to the charm and appeal of this divine place.

Wikipedia states Denmark's population is "a colourful mix of different characters, individualists, followers of natural care, spiritualists, naturalists, artisans, artists and retired people of all ages from all parts of the world. Some of them see Denmark more or less as a sanctuary." We agree.

The environmental awareness movement of the town has allowed Denmark to preserve its pristine nature. Much attention is given to cultural activities and Denmark Arts organises festivals, art markets, exhibitions, performances and workshops for the local community.

The mild climate, the restfulness, the space and the wonders of nature make Denmark a popular tourist destination. Nature lovers like Denmark for its pristine beaches, walk trails, undulating landscape, tall trees and wildflowers.
