Walhalla

Today it was another stinky hot day but this didn't stop us to go and see the swing bridge in Sale and take a boardwalk.

 

 

 

During the boardwalk Lidia spotted a little, cute, furry animal, which we think is a baby possum (?).

 

 

After than we headed to historic Walhalla. What a lovely little town. We were lucky to get last free place at the camping place and went to explore the once one of Australia's richest town and home to over 4000 gold seekers.

 

 

 

 

 This sleepy mountainside town is now frozen in time and home to only a handful of residents. We missed the ride on the Walhalla Goldfield Railway on the first day, so decided to stay another to take in some atmophere - walking through the town and visiting the Old Post Office, Fire Station, etc....

 

The next day we went for a 8km walk to Thomson Station via the Australian's Alps Walking Track. Luckily we didn't get lost or we could end up in Canberra (only 680 km from Walhalla)

 

The trip from the Thomson Station to Walhalla took about 20 min which winds through the picturesque Stingers Creek Gorge. On our way from the station to the camping side we had a lunch at the Walhalla Pub and Graham was really happy with his Wally Burger.

 

 

 

The rest of the day we just relaxed by the stream and made some "new caravanning friends". 

 

 Love this place!!!!
