Millthorpe in the Running for NSW Top Tourism Town

Vote Now: Millthorpe in the Running for NSW Top Tourism Town

Millthorpe is in the running for the NSW Top Tourism Town Awards in the Tiny Town category, with public voting now open. Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to show their support and vote for the historic village.

The awards recognise excellence in tourism destinations across the state, combining public votes with a judging process that considers a submitted video, editorial story and itinerary showcasing each town’s unique visitor experience.

Blayney Shire Mayor Bruce Reynolds said Council was pleased to once again nominate Millthorpe for the program after last year’s success, and encouraged the community to rally behind the village.

“The village provides an amazing visitor experience with first rate dining, high quality cellar doors, boutique shopping, cafes, a lolly shop to die for, an amazing rural museum and a variety of quality accommodation,” he said. 

“There is also history all over the village with an array of old buildings from hotels, banks and houses to school buildings and an operating railway station dating back to 1886.

“With its variety of visitor experiences, Millthorpe is a prime example of a top tourism town and I hope the village receives the recognition it deserves as it is the kind of place that visitors just love coming back to.”

“Last year, Millthorpe was honoured to receive the People’s Choice award and placed third overall in the Tiny Town category, which reflects just how strongly the village resonates with visitors.

“With continued community support, we hope to build on that success and see Millthorpe recognised again this year.”

Mayor Reynolds also noted the importance of supporting the broader region.

With Millthorpe competing in the tiny town category and nearby Orange recognised in the large town category, voters are encouraged to show their support for the Central West by voting for towns across all award categories

Voting is open until Sunday 3 May, with finalists announced later in May before progressing to the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards.
