Walhalla Goldfields Railway, Heritage railway in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
The narrow-gauge railway runs through valleys and gorges, crossing six trestle bridges over Stringers Creek between Thomson and Walhalla stations.
Built in 1910 as part of Victorian Railways experimental lines, the railway supported gold mining operations until closing in sections from 1944 to 1954.
The railway preserves Victorian transportation heritage through dedicated volunteers who maintain the locomotives and infrastructure for educational and tourism purposes.
Trains depart three times daily on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with increased frequency during school holidays, carrying 35,000 passengers annually.
The railway received an Engineering Heritage Marker and maintains a twinning agreement with the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway in England.
