About Walhalla |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Walhalla is a town that holds a special place in the hearts of Australians.
Hidden in a deep valley in the Victorian Alps, Walhalla was one of Victoria’s great gold mining towns in the 19th century. At the height of the gold era, Walhalla was a bustling frontier town with over 2,500 residents and more than 75 tonnes of gold were removed from Cohen’s Reef which runs deep below the town. The richest mine was the Long Tunnel in the centre of town and over 50 tonnes of gold were removed from this one mine. In its heyday, Walhalla was home to 10 hotels, 3 breweries and 7 churches. The Star Hotel, located at the junction directly opposite the historic Band Rotunda, was Walhalla’s most famous gold mining era hotel. It was the terminus for the Cobb & Co. Coach that serviced Walhalla until 1910 when the railway finally arrived in town. The original Star Hotel and IOOF Hall were destroyed by fire in December 1951 and Walhalla lost its heart. In the past 20 years, a new appreciation for Australian history has seen Walhalla become a popular tourist attraction and today buildings are being restored and new replica buildings (like Walhalla's Star Hotel) are being built to replace buildings lost over the last century. Walhalla Historic Township's population currently stands at 18, a far cry from the 2,500 plus that lived here 100 years ago. |
