Walhalla Goldfields Railway

More Information

Spend an unforgettable day with friends 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 in themselves 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 train buffs they 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 the knowledgeable crew along the way.

Make Walhalla Goldfields Railway your next day out. Trains depart Walhalla Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday weekly and daily during school holidays.
