Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Walhalla?
If you are travelling from Melbourne on the Princes Freeway, Walhalla is about 45 minutes north of Moe. If you are travelling from East Gippsland, follow the marked signs to Walhalla at Traralgon. If you travel via Erica and Rawson it is a sealed (bitumen) road all the way.
Please note: while there is mobile phone coverage for the majority of the way to Wahalla, the Walhalla road itself has a few “black holes” and may drop out of range. Just keep following the road to Walhalla.
Remember to drive carefully!
Is Walhalla a Museum?
Walhalla is a living town, not a museum. Please respect residents’ rights and do not enter any properties which are not clearly signposted as businesses. `
As the town has a small permanent population please advise businesses of your planned visit if more than 20 people are coming. This will ensure prompt, friendly service!
Please keep noise from campsites to a minimum after 9.00 pm.
Do not shine torches onto private property and through windows.
