Reference sources You may be interested in pursuing some of the following publications which contain more information about Walhalla, Gippsland and the early Victorian goldfields. Because of its relative size at the time, and its importance as a gold-mining township, Walhalla is frequently mentioned in memoirs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Victoria. If you're planning to visit us, many of these publications are available at the Walhalla Corner Store and Museum (phone 5165 6250). Alternatively, you can order them by mail. See our Publications page for more details, and the odd cover shot.
