Walhalla: In search of gold, history & Liam Neeson in Victoria's prettiest town

[@atmm89]

absolutely fantastic video, so informative, loved it

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

A quiet little country town with not many residents living there; perfect and such a beautiful place. I love country Victoria.

[@jeetts59]

I was there 2 years ago and like you was impressed by how tidy and friendly the town is. We have so many tourists gems in Victoria.

[@paulgoodshaw1636]

I'm really enjoying your travels of small towns, giving me ideas of pleases to visit.

[@NoChance-zl3nb]

The place I’m planning on spending my retirement years in. I’m 35 this year😊 I’m sure Walhalla will be patiently waiting for me.

[@glenndarragh4417]

Walhalla looks like my idea of paradise ! Another excellent video Terry, thanks for all the effort you put into your channel.

[@gabrielleshaw4865]

Went on the train a few months ago, been visiting since I was a child. We take our son for lunch at the pub now.

[@bobgarbett3229]

It’s been a very long time since I visited Walhalla yes! It’s beautiful and so enchanting and as you’ve said “ frozen in time” thank you for this very interesting and informative video!

[@dianarunge2364]

WOW what a beautiful spot. Thanks for showing it to me. Such interesting history

[@Phil1234-abc]

Fantastic video mate - love the detail. Keep it up.

[@xr6lad]

Love my visits there. We take the dogs up and have a picnic near the old tennis courts (now a picnic area) and then walk in. They only connected to mains power electricity I think in the 1990’s and got mobile reception (due to its fire prone safety) in the last 5 or so years. Walking the old timber tram lines along the edge of the hills above town (most of those current paths along the edge were tramways) we have found old bottles etc over the years.

Amazing place, very friendly folk explaining my many questions about the history of Walhalla. 🥰

[@waynehauser3611]

Love this town. Great vid mate . It is like you said, the town, that time forgot. Stunning place . Well done, thanks for you efforts . Cheers 😎✌

[@margaretjoan6148]

Looks beautiful

[@stevenbypost9689]

Nice

[@user-gk-y8t]

Frog Dreaming, starring Henry Thomas (E.T.), was filmed in Walhalla in 1986. That's one from my childhood that shows the incredible beauty of the town. It's still a magical movie for kids and adults lol

[@davebarns1]

Growing up in Strathbogie,I still reckon this is my second favourite town, good job 👍🏻

[@suzymcgregor3122]

Really love your channel Terry, I love exploring the outback and country towns. You seem like a great guy, it’s what keeps me coming back to hear of your adventures. Keep it up Suzy

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks so much. It’s fun making these videos 😀

[@suzymcgregor3122]

@@LetsGo012 do you go by yourself? If so is it lonely? I wouldn’t be able to do this alone, you would be very independent I’m guessing

[@LetsGo012]

@suzymcgregor3122 Yes I travel solo. I’m too busy to get lonely 😂

[@ked7426]

Enjoyed this lovely video. The only bit you didn't go to was the cricket pitch. It might not be open still. It looked like a fair walk up, I chose not to try. If I'd been staying longer, I may have. You've got me thinking of visiting again, especially as the train is up and going now. My husband visited as a young man late 80s camping. I haven't gone in the mine, so on the list for next time.

[@PiersLortPhillips]

Such a lovely little town and well worth visiting. But I think you should revise the value of all the gold mined. You'll probably have to add a couple of zeros. Cheers

[@ravichandarvenugopal7831]

Well done!

[@ramio1983]

Love your energy and vibe! Adding Walhalla to my must see list next time i am in VIC :)

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks 😀. Walhalla is definitely worth a visit.

[@msmuffet_16]

We did the ghost tour late last year, before Liam's visit.😢

[@theantibecky9837]

I am loving your videos, would love to see you check out Southern NSW :)

[@rodc2678]

Apparently the sounds of mining, particularly belt driven stone crushers echoed through the Walhalla valley almost 7 days a week. It may have taken a special type of stamina to live through that in those 'idealic' hey days.

[@wimmeraparanormal6581]

The Long Tunnel extended mine produced 440 thousand ounces of gold....not 440! Lol. That's almost 14 tonnes of gold. Just a little bit more than what you said.... 😁

[@stevenjohannesen88]

Your living the dream, thankyou for showing us around Walhalla, 1 question I have is how much does it cost you to live in that van per week? Fuel, food, camp fees,etc .? Thanks in advance, cheers ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺

[@LetsGo012]

I’m still only starting out so I’m trying to get a handle on the finances. I do know it’s cheaper than paying rent. I’ll probably do a “costs” video once I’m travelling long enough to have an average weekly cost.

[@murtoasumpoiler]

I visited the pub in the early 70s before it burned down

[@freethinker4991]

Weighted correctly which is heavier a lb of gold or a lb of feathers? Precious metals like gold and silver are measured using the “troy” system where there are 12 ounces in a pound. If you normalize everything to mass a pound of feathers is 454 grams and a pound of gold is 373 grams, therefore the feathers are technically heavier.

[@Doris-y5v]

I would love you live in a town like that, so much of '' fairy tale '' books, . "Do not use my name in vain '" Exdodus 20 Oh my God.!!!

[@Doris-y5v]

This Is a privilege!!! special, once in a life time, discovering, and just knowing // and so much more , A person like yourself has experienced such of these meaningful words. 'just knowing '' means 'knowing' of the past in existence. . So valuable , many people live in Australia, being educated in school, work and spend their lives in Australia. and have not ''knowing'' of the past in details their heritage. So valuable !! and so , special. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey. Consider yourself a special, Aussie!!!

[@GarryMercer-tq5uo]

Incorrect. There was 1.4 billion dollars of gold taken out of that mine valued at the time the sign was made which is 1.75 billion now

Correct....today even slightly more almost touching 2 billion.

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks for setting that straight

@@LetsGo012 You're welcome, enjoyed the tour of Walhalla, haven't been there since early 90's and has a wonderful atmosphere.

[@jxmai7687]

OMG I was watching they paint the building to green and blue in the end of January, really hate those colors.

[@davidharrison1572]

if only you knew the locals

[@Melbournelost66]

Country Victoria is great. As for marvellous Melbourne, it has been ruined by hideous Labor governments.

[@keithdrower9120]

Haha...OK Karen.....!

[@looloo4029]

I agree.

[@WilliamStuart-v1u]

I have worked and lived all around Victoria since 1960 Explain to me how has it been ruined by labour

[@Frombie_01]

@@WilliamStuart-v1u Being roughly the same age as you, my guess is that the OP hasn't adjusted to changes over time. On a side note, I think Victoria has some very beautiful towns and country, but as a New South Welshman I'd never admit that to anyone. ;)

[@patkelly6349]

Agree. This mongrel labor government has destroyed this state

[@danieltempleton7512]

Good vid, not 100% on your research tho..

[@QueenslandTrainVideos]

Nice video but stop filming while driving it's not cool.

[@demmyonline]

It would be best if you concentrated on showing everyone the beauty of Walhalla with a background commentary. There's nothing wrong with your voice, but NOT everyone is destined to be a documentary presenter. I'm the first thumb's down. Sorry!
