Walhalla alpine walking track

Postby Pink Cap » Tue 31 Dec, 2024 6:28 am

I was hoping to do the walk from Walhalla to Mt Baw Baw and back over 3 to 4 days this January (80 km or so). I’m not finding any current info about the state of the trail so I’m wondering if anyone has been here recently? I would like to drive to the nearest parking (coming from Melbourne/Moe) and walk from my car to one end (probably Walhalla first) and then to the other. There used to be a website about this walk but now the site is gaming ads. I know this is the first section of the AAWT so I’m confident people have been there this season. Any suggestions appreciated :)

BTAC have cleared the AAWT from O ' Shea's Mill to Stronach's camp.
It has taken years to complete the whole job.
The track is the AAWT.It is well marked and easy to follow.
Get the latest AAWT guide book by Chapman , Chapman and Sieseman.
Surely you could convince a friend to do a car shuttle with one car left at Walhalla and
the other Car near Stronach's camp on the Thompson Valley road ?
Failing that there could be a bushwalking taxi of sorts. Expect to pay a lot for that .
Then you would walk it from Stronach's camp to Walhalla.
Mt. Baw Baw village is kind of off the AAWT but we helped clear that linking track too.
You 'll find water at Talbot hut ruins and near the Whitelaw hut ruins.
O' Shea's mill camp site on the East Tyers river can be busy with drive in
Yobbos so you have been warned.
I think the Poverty Point bridge is still shut.
