  • I travel to the historic gold mining town of Walhalla to explore some of its past, admire its breathtaking beauty and talk to locals about the time Hollywood star Liam Neeson came to town.

    Love my visits there. We take the dogs up and have a picnic near the old tennis courts (now a picnic area) and then walk in. They only connected to mains power electricity I think in the 1990’s and got mobile reception (due to its fire prone safety) in the last 5 or so years. Walking the old timber tram lines along the edge of the hills above town (most of those current paths along the edge were tramways) we have found old bottles etc over the years.

    Such a lovely little town and well worth visiting. But I think you should revise the value of all the gold mined. You'll probably have to add a couple of zeros. Cheers

    Frog Dreaming, starring Henry Thomas (E.T.), was filmed in Walhalla in 1986. That's one from my childhood that shows the incredible beauty of the town. It's still a magical movie for kids and adults lol

      I’m still only starting out so I’m trying to get a handle on the finances. I do know it’s cheaper than paying rent. I’ll probably do a “costs” video once I’m travelling long enough to have an average weekly cost.

    Weighted correctly which is heavier a lb of gold or a lb of feathers?
    Precious metals like gold and silver are measured using the “troy” system where there are 12 ounces in a pound. If you normalize everything to mass a pound of feathers is 454 grams and a pound of gold is 373 grams, therefore the feathers are technically heavier.

    Incorrect. There was 1.4 billion dollars of gold taken out of that mine valued at the time the sign was made which is 1.75 billion now

      Correct....today even slightly more almost touching 2 billion.

    It would be best if you concentrated on showing everyone the beauty of Walhalla with a background commentary. There's nothing wrong with your voice, but NOT everyone is destined to be a documentary presenter. I'm the first thumb's down. Sorry!
