Driving through Walhalla, Victoria.

Walhalla is one of Victoria's historic gold mining towns. 2.5 hours/ 184km east of Melbourne.
This drive-through video shows the town from one end to the other.
This beautiful gold mining town, set deep in a valley, was the last place in Victoria to be connected to the electricity grid and is a genuine step back in time.
Come stay in a hotel, guest house, or camp...

I first went there in 1966, the mine was wide open to all, no door or anything, like later. The pub was still there then. Been a few times since. It has changed a fair bit I see. Lovely video. Cheers from Wagga.

How fantastic to see this my mother was born in Walhalla and my uncle Jack Reynolds lived there all his life.

[@explorethegreatoceanroad]

What a great family history to have. Are you living near enough to visit Walhalla?

[@bentshuang9062]

I went there 3 years ago, such a beautiful little town, will go back there again and Liam Neeson is currently there filming Ice Road 2.

I was brought up just down the road at Powelltown. It's a beautiful piece of Australia!! Well done with the video.

My Great Great Grandfather managed the long tunnel mine extended. My Grandfather was born there in 1912

Awesome looking place

[@mozdickson]

Visiting in a few weeks, looking forward to it even more now. Thanks

[@hikecampandpaddle]

It's a great place to explore and the drive through and up over towards Aberfeldy is fun too. Narrow though and steep drop offs.

[@nikkisims8656]

I grew up here. My God it's changed. ❤

[@Janebarnes]

What a great place to grow up. I remeber when they had no power and a coffee was just the regular type, no lattes etc. it was so intersting to visit back 'last century'! It certainly has changed.

[@RATTLEY67]

First went there about '73.Sure has changed alot

[@thilolg]

A beautiful and historic place indeed. Hope you went for the mine tour.

[@hikecampandpaddle]

[@leepidford7631]

Do a search.."abandoned towns in Victoria".. Walhalla comes up... 🐺🇦🇺🏴‍☠️

[@hikecampandpaddle]

Poor Walhalla, it's not abandoned though it doesn't have many permanent residents, about 16 people I think.

[@leepidford7631]

This is actually considered an abandoned town.. 😉🐺🇦🇺🏴‍☠️

[@hikecampandpaddle]

If i was living the i wouldn't consider it abandoned. I'm sure the residents would get a laugh out of it though.

[@nancycurtis7315]

Where in Walhalla did you stop? No photos or history. No explanation. Dash cam of road was all that was presented. Waste of data.

[@hikecampandpaddle]

This was to show the town from one end to the other. A blog post is being updated and the link will be added soon describing more about the town and things to do.🙂

[@nancycurtis7315]

@@hikecampandpaddle Thank you for replying. 🙂

[@jamescrawford9883]

Probably have to stay in Moe, or Morwell

[@RBFR01]

Walhalla needs more toilets.

[@hikecampandpaddle]

They have done some upgrades, tollets are opposite the main shop section and the old ones in the area now given to free camping are still there. I recently did the walk up to the cricket ground again, it was quite funny as two portables are situated with quite a good view of the cricket pitch. 🤣
