Walhalla historic township was one of Australia’s richest towns, and home to over 3,500 people following the discovery of gold in the area in 1863. It was home to one of the largest gold reefs ever found in Australia. In 1862 Edward Stinger found gold in a fast-flowing creek, but it was the discovery of Cohen’s Reef, which was almost 2 miles long, that put Walhalla on the map. Walhalla’s Long Tunnel Mine operated between 1865 and 1914 and was Victoria’s most profitable single mines. Life in Walhalla was tough, with miners forced to endure fires, flood, and disease. But the lure of gold made this mountain outpost a vibrant place, with 10 hotels, 7 churches, several dance halls, and more than 30 shops.
Today the population is around 20. During most of the twentieth century Walhalla was practically frozen in time; electricity was only connected in 1998. After nearly becoming a ghost town, many of its buildings and services have been lovingly restored to offer historic attractions and also a range of accommodation, tours, shops, and eateries for the comforts of today’s traveller. The nearby towns of include Erica and Rawson.
