A ride on the Walhalla Goldfields Railway is an unforgettable experience. No matter what time of year you choose to travel there is always something special to see. In spring and summer wild flowers are prevelant throughout the gorge. Catch the breathtaking beauty of the autumn trees in April when they appear to light up sections of the valley.

Then in the winter Stringers Creek comes to life with increased water flows which spill over the attractive waterfall.

During the Easter school holiday period, trains operate on a daily basis – check thetimetable for details.

Ride with Walhalla Goldfields Railway through the spectacular Stringers Creek Gorge. As you begin your journey and depart Walhalla Historic Township, you will travel through the station yard which lies between Stringers Creek and the cliff-face that underpins the Brunton’s Bridge Road. After you leave the engine and carriage sheds behind the first kilometre and a half is almost entirely built over six large trestle bridges that criss-cross Stringers Creek Gorge in an effort to find anchorage for each bridge abutment. As the train winds it’s way down hill you will pass through Happy Creek to begin the second half of your journey.
