Cooler weather, glowing log fires and the crackle of fallen leaves underfoot heralds the arrival of Autumn in Walhalla.
Nestled amongst national parkland and just a short drive east of Melbourne, the historic township of Walhalla promises a short break escape like no other.
The meandering tree lined main street, mountainous terrain, old-world gardens and cute miner’s cottages define a township that is steeped in gold mining heritage and surrounded by lush alpine parklands.
It’s the township’s natural landscape mixed with amazing autumn colours and rich heritage that makes Walhalla most worthy of exploring during this time of the year.
Enjoy a coffee and indulge in a little leaf peeping as you take a short stroll through the main street or pack a picnic and explore the many tracks and trails in the area.
A guided ghost tour is a quirky way to discover Walhalla’s gold era of past and the kids will love a trip on the goldfields railway and a tour of the long tunnel gold mine.
Walhalla offers a range of accommodation options to suit couples and families including a B&B, the boutique Star Hotel, camping or self-contained cottage accommodation.
