Experience Walhalla Goldfields Railway

Spend an unforgettable day with the family at Walhalla Goldfields Railway.

Relax and take in the breathtaking views as the train winds its way through the spectacular Stringers Gorge on what is considered one of the country’s most picturesque rail journeys.

Departing the historic Walhalla Station on your one-hour journey, you will travel through the station yards with the sheer, stunning cliff face on one side and the winding Stringers Creek on the other side.

Winding through the gorge past Happy Creek Station on your way towards Thomson Station you cross seven bridges – which are a marvel of engineering – before reaching the spectacular Thomson River bridge.

Upon arrival at Thomson Station, passengers disembark and have the opportunity to peruse the station and surroundings before re-boarding for your return journey.

For young train buffs we also offer a Ride in the Cab Experience for a small extra fee.

Get up front and experience a different perspective from the vantage point of the locomotive cab.

See the amazing track work and bridges and chat to our knowledgeable crew along the way.

Make Walhalla Goldfields Railway your next family day out.

Trains depart Walhalla at 11am, 1pm and 3pm Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday weekly.

During school holidays the railway operates daily, except Christmas Day.

Bookings can be made at www.walhallarail.com.au. Call 5165 6280 for more information.

Please note that due to current restrictions, all passengers over the age of 18 years must be fully vaccinated and provide proof of this when checking in.
