I lived there as a kid, I went back recently to check it out again. It's a lot slower now. Great vid.

[@pierresadventures7371]

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Pierre. Thanks for the tour of Erica. FYI, and your viewers, author and railway expert Nick Anchen produced a book detailing the history of the Moe -Walhalla railway, Rails to Old Walhalla. Very interesting history of the area. Cheers.

[@pierresadventures7371]

Thanks I will have a look.

[@pierresadventures7371]

My fathers cousins lived there for many years. Albert I think worked at that mill.

I don’t trust country dogs - speak gently but carry a BIG stick lol - very enjoyable video

[@mnj640]

They're all good they just don't trust city people. 😂

I’m a rail buff and correct me if I’m wrong but I think they are going to extend the railway line back to Erica from Thomson

[@pierresadventures7371]

I haven't heard that, I do know that the bike trail is on the old rail line. Not sure, sorry

[@campcreekhill8933]

Correct! The rails were acquired in the hope to extend the railway from Thompson to Erica, hoping to get State Government assistance but the State is broke so it probably won't happen in my lifetime (next 30 years)

[@richardswainson1555]

There used to be trains run from Moe to Walhalla in the 50’s

[@pierresadventures7371]

I'm pretty sure Puffin Billy still run up to Walhalla every once and a while

[@campcreekhill8933]

Puffing Billy ran for an anniversary, it was a 1 off, but the puffing Billy railway do have a steam locomotive in storage that was purchased specifically for logging in Gippsland around the moe walhalla line, if only they would donate it back
