Loved this beautiful little village! Put Walhalla on your bucket list! We did a day trip, luckily we went on a Wednesday, we caught the train for a 1 hour trip. The station is just before Walhulla. From there, we went into the village and had lunch at the Whitch Cafe, so lovely and cosy. Great coffee and toasties. Pub was far too busy. The pub in the village is closed but the other pub is on your way into the village. Lovely walk on the walking track up the hill and around, looking down on the village, exiting at the Gold Mine. Easy walk about 15 minutes. Beautiful B&B's available. The hole village is so clean and neat. The trees just started to change into their 🍂 🍂 leaves. (March) Population of 20! Unbelievable!!

A lovely way to spend a Sunday. It's a scenic drive to Walhalla and a step back in time exploring the historical gold mining town. The train ride was enjoyable. Get the best views from the right- hand side of the train. Be sure to be on time - it fills up quickly, and book tickets beforehand online.
Najiba S — Google review
We had a day out exploring this quaint little town. Luckily the last train still had tickets and we just about managed to get on. There’s parking near the station as well as nearby to park your car. The train goes one way and after a few minutes returns the same way. If you wish, you could park the car at the other end and just travel the one way. If you can, sit on the right side of the train as left is mostly hill and rock face. It can get cold so take a warm jacket as well. Food is allowed on the train. We packed a small thermos and some sandwiches which we had on the train and few others had food as well. There’s a shop attached to the main station where you can get the tickets and souvenirs. And few toilets.

We spent the Easter break at Walhalla with friends and family, and the Goldfields Railway ride was the highlight of our trip. The vintage train, stunning views through the valley, and charming trestle bridges made it feel like a journey back in time. The volunteers were so welcoming and knowledgeable—it really added to the experience. To avoid disappointment, I recommend booking tickets in advance, especially during holidays. And while you're there, don’t miss the Walhalla mine tour—it’s fascinating! We also enjoyed a relaxing picnic at North Park Garden, a beautiful and peaceful spot just perfect for unwinding. A wonderful day out for all ages—highly recommend it!

Absolute ripper of a day out, picturesque historical gold mining town with plenty of charm to walk around whilst waiting for the next train. Super friendly and an amazing bunch of volunteers who keep this running for us to enjoy. Pay the smidge extra and ride up the front with the driver, will not be disappointed. Will definitely be back in the warmer months
Geoff — Google review
Absolutely loved this charming little village! We did a day trip and were lucky to visit on a Wednesday—light rain and cool weather made it even more enjoyable. Took the train for a scenic one-hour round trip—be sure to sit on the right side for the best views! The walking track up the hill and around was lovely and peaceful. And can you believe it? The population is just 20—unreal!

Great scenic train ride with lots of local history. A well run railway mainly by local volunteers. Plenty of history to explore in Walhalla too.

We went on the Walhalla Gold Mine tour today, and our tour guide was Hayley. We had a great time and learnt so much about how times were tough mining in the early days. Hayley was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour fun, my grandson even found gold lol. We came home and Googled more on the history of Walhalla, this little town has so much heritage and history, it's well worth the the trip. Next time we are doing the ghost tour and the Walhalla train 🚂. Thank you Hayley for an amazing day.

Huge thanks to Richard for being our guide, your humour and knowledge made it such a memorable experience. The tunnel itself is super impressive and quite possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see something like it. So don’t miss this off your Walhalla itinerary! Also, a big thank you to the lovely lady at the front desk, and to Richard again - thanks for the laughs (and for having a laugh with me). I am still wondering though… is that your brother? 😛😅
Grace W — Google review
We had a lovely time thanks to Ben! Too bad we couldn't find a gold nugget! Unfortunately, most of the town was closed on the Monday we visited. Also, do top up your petrol to a full tank before you come up as the windy road takes up more gas than you'd think. The nearest petrol station is in Moe and the rate is quite high.
Mandy M — Google review
had a great time going through this tour ..the guide is very informative and there is a fair bit to see unlike a lot of mines that are basicly tunnels .....mine is unique because they had boilers set up inside the mine and that room is still visible minus boilers of course ..definitely worth a visit and the amazing town of Valhalla is worth it just to see that

This is an absolute must do tour if you are ever in town for a visit!! To really learn and understand Walhalla’s history with both the mine its self and the town ship, go give it a go!! Our tour guide Karen was amazing!!! She was a local who not only knew her stuff but has so much passion for the place she lives in. Karen was a great, bubbly person, great with the kids, down to earth and had so much knowledge about what she was talking about. Highly recommend going on one of her tours if you can.

An unforgettable experience and an absolute must for the lovers of history! You think of your more touristy ‘gold rush towns’ around Victoria and the experiences on offer. This is the REAL deal. A real place, an amazing story, a space hardly changed from days long gone. I just sat in that sitting room for half an hour overwhelmed with what must have happened in this place. GO - to know what I’m talking about. Walhalla is a gem. The Old Walhalla Post Office Museum is a must. The only negative - they only take cash for donations and purchases! I wanted to make a donation… please get a tap and pay!

Myst visit if you're around. Takes you back 100 years ago, everything is so genuine and touching. The person that looks after the place is very friendly and has great recommendations if you're visiting the area. It's very important to preserve history like that, and this is a formidable way of doing it. All the best

Amazing how well the postoffice and dwelling connected to it have been preserved! The tourguide from the Long Tunnel Extender tour drove down to let us in and told us more about the history and preservation of the postoffice. Books and cds were for sale inside.

Its an underrated comment "Old is Gold". It's perfectly placed in a small, cute town of Walhalla. This is a must visit place during Autumn 🍁 season. You will definitely regret if you miss the vibrant autumn shades from this town. This town enlighten us with " how to live the life clutter free". The ecosystem is perfectly placed.

This post office in old Walhalla village is a fascinating view into what a gold rush era post office would have looked like. It is staffed by volunteers, and Ben was very helpful in showing us around. The rooms were complete with antique clothing and furniture from the era, and was described to me as a "photographer's dream". I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area

One of the more interesting cemeteries that you can come across. Not being a country with a log. History, every little bit counts. This cemetery is a place where you get a real understanding of what life was like many many years ago. The walk from the carpark is fairly easy but not wheelchair accessible. Set on the side of the hill, there is a nice resting place on the way up and st the cemetery. Do read some of the tombstones as they are interesting. Five girls lost to one family in a short period of time. Well worth a visit.
Debi S — Google review
Great experience. Very emotive. Some of the headstones are huge and as others have said, multiple family members on them, young children mostly. Became teary reading some of them saying “native to Cornwall” or “native to Ireland”. They are so far from their ‘home’. The track can be a bit narrow and wobbly at times but manageable. Need a good hour if you’re going to try and read them all. The track up to it is an incline we were there in 5 mins even though the sign said it was a 20 min walk
Alexandra H — Google review
Interesting cemetery to see. Plenty of history. Not well maintained, but probably due to the location of the cemetery. A couple of seats available. Well worth a wonder through here to have a look.
Christine B — Google review
This was such a serene, peaceful location. Had an eerie vibe, but if you like that sort of experience , definitely worth a visit! Unique place for a cemetery and not well kept (but that adds to the historical experience) and enough pathway to be comfortable to walk through and experience the memories of the past.
Sandra — Google review
Take your camera and wander through this space. Great walk up to the cemetery also.
Jo M — Google review
One of the coolest cemeteries I have ever been to. I loved it. So pretty and quaint, and so many stories and lives under each stone. The layers of the hill make it so much more interesting. 100% recommend to go. It is up a little bit of a hill, but keep walking because the view and the adorable cemetery are worth it.
Sophie C — Google review
One of the most unique cemeteries in Australia. Established during the colonial gold rush glory days of the town, it is built into the side of a hill so many graves are above each other in terraces. A must see, a walk up a path up the hill (look out for the sign post gate on the main road below). Unfortunately due to being on a hill, not disabled friendly or elderly friendly unless on the fitter side. No direct vehicle access other than the walking path..

Went here early September 2023 So on a yolo went out of the road of Walhalla northbound in my Mazda sedan . Somehow ended up in the mountains where it was snowing very lightly but it was amazing , no one was around and seeing snow was magical Some road hazards on the way but a very slow drive with tons of pot holes , freezing cold weather , rain and snow In shocked my tyres didn’t go flying but I think the next town I ended up in was Licola ? Saw like one car in the middle of nowhere Great to see snow for free , I’m too poor to pay to get into the village
Dexter — Google review
There are so many hikes available when not covered in snow, to get here the road is unsealed, 2wd or 4wd os fine. The area is well maintained. Hike in and camp areas available. Make sure you bring plenty of food and drink as nothing is available on site. Toilets are available at the start only (drop). If you're lucky, you'll see lots of animals along your route

Went on a snow hunt and found this place, what a gem of a place. Plenty of snow play area and a few toboggan runs. Walk up to the lookout is only 600m but is tricky with young kids in the snow. If coming up in the snow, bring chains if you don't have a 4x4. Saw a few cars get stuck.

First time up to Mt St Gwinear. What an awesome and stunningly beautiful area. Two great tobogganing slopes for the kids and a 600m walk through to an absolutely gorgeous white wonderland!
Sam G — Google review
The walk to Mushroom rocks is a beautiful one. It can be strenuous and muddy when wet. I wouldn't recommend it for little kids, some older people or those not sure on foot. It's a beautiful walk though and rivals the Grampians with its unique granite boulders and beautiful trees. It's worth the effort for sure.

A beautiful snowy destination at an hour and of drive from Traralgon. There's a restroom and warm room at the base and different working and skiing areas. Must go.

Mount Baw Baw is a fantastic place to visit and its only 3 hours drive from Melbourne. If you are going to see snow, check weather updates regularly and make sure you have right snowgear. You can borrow chains at the entrance and get it fixed from them.
