“We are very excited to shine a light on Dookie in the ‘Tiny Tourism Town’ category. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase the unique experiences hidden in this colourful town and to encourage visitors to spend more time exploring Dookie.

We know visitors are always surprised by what Shepparton has to offer and are keen to discover more. These curated itineraries will help to elevate Shepparton’s offerings.”
The Victorian winners will be announced on Thursday 25 July, and the state winners will have the opportunity to represent Victoria at the Australian Top Tourism Town Awards.
