Gnomesville’s claim to fame

The Ferguson Valley settlement of Gnomesville has been named and celebrated as one of WA's “Seven Most Quirkiest Attractions”.

According to the author of the online story, Gnomesville was part of “a collection of weird wonders that stand as a testament to our spirit of doing things a little differently in the West”.

Home to more than 10,000 hard- working gnomes, the community has come a long way from its original population of one.

Dardanup shire president Mick Bennett said he was not surprised by the inclusion and said the settlement’s quirkiness had made it such a big attraction to the area.
