While you're in the neighbourhood, or on the way, you might like to patronize some of the following local businesses:
WH&DL Corner Store, Post Office and Museum
Taking pride of place on the corner at the top of the Main Street hill stands the Corner Store, Post Office and Museum, operated by the Walhalla Heritage and Development League. We stock an extensive range of souvenirs, memorabilia, maps, books and other publications on Walhalla and the surrounding area, and provide your entry to our adjacent Gold Museum. Bookings are also accepted here for our Ghost Tours and Cemetery Tours, and discounts are offered on some items for card-carrying members of the League. It's also a Post Office agency, so as well as providing you with a wide range of Australia Post merchandise, you'll find that you're also able to buy, write and despatch your postcards on the spot!
The adjacent Walhalla Gold Museum offers a glimpse of daily life in the valley over a hundred years ago, including many rare and unique artefacts. Appropriately enough, admission is by a gold coin donation, but we don't mind if you add to that ... we always seem to be able to find plenty of productive work around town for your donations to do!

Ron and Andrea Camier's award-winning Mountain Top Experience team offer 4WD adventures throughout the Gippsland high country, and specialize in tours around the Walhalla and Baw Baw areas. They offer passenger tours and charters, introductory driver training, vehicle hire and escorted, tag-along tours.
Ron now has one of his 4WD passenger vehicles based with Mike Thomas from Mountain Rivers Lodge at Rawson. This means that even at relatively short notice, they can run Copper Mine Adventure tours from Walhalla, or can pick up you and your guests from your accommodation (for a minimum charge of $50, including the tour). Or, for a day in the snow at Mt St Gwinear, they can take a group of up to 8 people for just $150/vehicle load, including gate entry. Since 1999, Ron has also been providing transport to Walhalla for tourists who have booked with his "Copper Mine Adventure" 4WD tours, and also for Australian Alpine Walking Track bushwalkers. Prices range from $30 to $80 depending on the number of travellers and the day of travel, and visitors can normally be picked up from the Moe or Morwell Railway Stations. If demand for this service increases in the future, mini-buses (self-drive or driven) may be provided in conjunction with the V/Line Fast Train to Morwell. To book tours, either call Ron or Andrea direct on (03) 5134 6876, or Mike on (03) 5165 3231. Find mountains of info at www.mountaintopexperience.com, Winner, 2003 Victorian Tourism Awards! |

Bob Dawson and Debbie Smith provide the hospitality at the Walhalla Lodge Family Hotel. You won't find it on our "Accommodation" page, because it's non-residential, but it offers great meals every day of the week excepting Tuesdays. Phone (03) 5165 6226 with any inquiries.

Since the 2007 bushfires, which began close by, Boola Boola Winery, Tearooms and Crafts on Cooper's Creek Road, via Erica are unfortunately no longer able to offer on-site wine tastings, cellar door sales or devonshire teas as they formerly did. However, they still sell their wines, fruit liqueurs and cordial bases through local outlets such as the Walhalla General Store mentioned above, and also through regional farmer's markets. For enquiries concerning where you can find their produce, phone them on 5165 3223, visit their website or send them an email.
