Great experience, be sure to sit on the right side of the train when you depart so you can see the beautiful scenery. Make sure you've booked a return ticket (if that is what you want) as it is a little confusing and a few people thought the had returns however only had one ways. Good trip!

Walhalla is a unique experience. Quaint buildings, friendly locals both human and fauna. The rail trip was worth it . Only $30pp return and a real credit to the volunteers who are dedicated to their railway passion. The Wally Pub is a real meeting place. The food and beer are an inroad into a loooong lunch , or an equally looooong dinner. We camped at North Gardens free camp . Very peaceful surrounds. Flushing toilets , electric bbq's, fire pits and plenty of grass if you are tenting. Also water taps , but not recommended for drinking unless boiled.

We did the 11am trip to Thomson and back. We enjoyed the commentary which was available through earphones after scanning a QR code. We thought it might be a steam engine but it’s not, definitely like a big truck engine with the exhaust to match. It pulls 2 carriages, one is very open with wooden bench seats and the other a bit more enclosed (but still open sides from waist up) and padded seats. The pace is fairly sedate along the narrow gauge track which winds its way along a creek and over some excitingly high bridges. Don’t stick your head out too far, sometimes there are rock walls within touching distance! The cafe on site is interestingly decorated with old fashioned items. All the train and station staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was a wonderful train ride. We did this trip on a beautiful summers day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hand made track in the rugged terrain is just a small insight into how tough life was in Walhalla in the early 1900's. Great views of of the creek as it meanders over water falls and through cuttings in rock. Great free commentary through your ear phones so remember to take with you. Very cheap outing and lovely volunteers running the whole show. Well done.

Lovely outing…. 6 yr old was very excited & I think the adults enjoyed it as much as she did. Very easy booking online & fuss free at the location. We did the round trip & was an enjoyable trip. Enjoyed the food & coffee at the little cafe at the station. Lovely people working both at the station & the cafe. Worth the trip

A really lovely train ride! Beautiful scenery. Fun for all ages. Walhalla is a very small town, so the train ride is a necessary activity. The ride was from Walhalla to Thomson Station. We were given 20mins to explore the Thomson Dam (which was the highlight of the trip) before returning to Walhalla Station.

Wow. What an amazing little railway. Worth the price and the staff were so super friendly. People even brought their dogs along with them. Make sure you buy a return ticket, stating at Walhalla. Sit on the right hand side and as there are two carriages, try one on the way there and the other on the way back.

A great experience and put it on your list of things to see and do. We rode in the open carriage on the way to the station and within the closed carriage on the way back. My eldest (8 year old) was able to stand on the carriage platform which was a great experience. The area is beautiful. Make sure you visit the long tunnel gold mine and do the tour, very interesting.

Having done the train trip many years ago and thoroughly enjoying we were glad to do it again . Unfortunately our train trip was canc6due to broken part.but being so isolated they couldn't get it fix in time . We were offered a full refund but I was happy not to take it. The train is one of the attraction that help Walhalla survive.

Walhalla is a gold mining town that declined when the gold ran out, then revived because of its historic value. The Goldfields Walhalla Railway is a narrow-gauge tourist railway. It runs through the forest, on weekends and Wednesdays, more frequently on school holidays. This railway suits families, its similar to Puffing Billy.
