Dongara-Denison : Gateway to the Batavia Coast
Just 3½ hours north of Perth by car lies Western Australia's Mid West region and the twin towns of Dongara and Port Denison. The Administrative Centre for the Shire of Irwin is situated in Dongara and overlooking the marina a few kilometres away is the twin town of Port Denison. This area offers a relaxed lifestyle with beautiful beaches, historical sites and a healthy fishing industry. The main street, Moreton Terrace, is lined with Moreton Bay Fig trees which were planted in 1906 and are now a focal point of the town.
Originally built on a strong rural economy, Dongara and Port Denison now have a thriving rock lobster fishing and processing industry and is ever-increasing in popularity as a place for tourists.
Also known to many as the "wildflower region", this area is home to some of the world's finest collections of flowering plants.
