Walhalla, Historical gold mining town in Victoria, Australia
Located in the Stringers Creek valley within the Great Dividing Range, Walhalla sits 180 kilometers east of Melbourne in mountainous terrain.
Founded in 1862 following a major gold discovery, Walhalla grew into a settlement of 4,000 residents during the peak of mining operations.
The arrival of Italian immigrants in 1873 enriched the community through their contributions to mining operations and woodcutting activities.
The Walhalla Goldfields Railway operates regular services, allowing visitors to experience the mountainous landscape while accessing various historical sites.
The Long Tunnel Extended Mine provides underground tours where visitors can examine the original 19th-century gold mining operations.
