Nestled deep in the hills of the Great Dividing Range, 140 kilometres east of Melbourne, lies the romantic gold town of Walhalla. Situated in a narrow twisting valley, Walhalla is the very image of a ghost town, with cabins clinging precariously to high cliff walls, and a cascading stream tumbling past immense mullock heaps which tell of past glory days, when the town contained some of the richest gold mines in Victoria, and its population soured into the thousands.
Rails to Old Walhalla is a beautifully presented 96 page full colour book, printed on quality matt art paper and soft-bound. The books tells the story of Walhalla and its famous narrow gauge railway, including fascinating memories from railwaymen who worked the line. Also covered are the various Walhalla railway preservation attempts including the great success story that is the Walhalla Goldfields Railway. Complimented by a magnificent array of black & white and colour images of Walhalla and its railway, many never before seen.
