Walhalla

  Revel in the history that followed after the discovery of Cohen's Reef which is a three kilometre vein of gold running through Walhalla. You will learn about the tough living of the miners, pan for gold down to Stringers Creek and then explore the old shops, hotels, churches and school built in the nineteenth century when the town was at its peak.  

  Enjoy the vibrant autumn trees as you take a ride on the Walhalla Goldfields Railway. Experience the beautiful and rugged Stringers Creek Gorge and spring wildflowers. If you fancy something a little more exiting and scary then take a ghost tour to the old cemetery on the hill.  

Walhalla is a comfortable two and a half hour drive from the Melbourne CBD. The distance from Melbourne is 198.2km.

Walhalla is a lovely break any time of the year. If you’d like to see snow on Mount Baw Baw, head to Walhalla in winter. Wild flowers brighten the region during the spring and summer months.
