Walhalla Historic Area, VICTORIA

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies
Wahalla is the starting point for the 680km Australian Alps Walking track which finishes at Tharwa, just outside of Canberra. Maybe we will do it one day but on this trip, we are just sampling eastern Victoria. Walhalla became a boom town in after the discovery of gold in 1862 and today has retained its heritage exceptionally well. Almost all the buildings are historical and there is a great opportunity to gain an understanding of Victoria’s most productive gold mining towns of the time by walking around town and reading the many Parks Victoria historical signs.
