Walhalla

Walhalla is a town in Victoria, Australia, founded as a gold-mining community in late 1862, and at its peak, home to around 4,000 residents. As of 2023, the town has a population of 20 permanent residents, though it has a large proportion of houses owned as holiday properties.

The town's name is taken from an early gold mine in the area, named for the German hall of fame, the Walhalla temple.
