Walhalla- yes- like the Viking name- is an old gold mining town that has been well preserved. It is also the start/ end of the Great Alps Walking track- 650km long.
Early mine investors got a 10,000 % return on their investment!
Some points of interest : the cemetery has very steep slopes and 1,300known graves.
The cricket ground has a steep 200m vertical climb up to it!! If you hit the ball out the park- well- good luck!!
After spending much of the day walking around the village, I drove down the steep, narrow (single lane) dirt road to Thomson Dam – Melbourne’s main water source.
Unfortunately not many places to stop in terms of lookouts but the views were great !
