Rawson Stockyard is on the road to the left

10.1 km 20. Walhalla Just past the railway station, there is a carpark and

toilets block on the right.The train is scheduled to depart at 11am.

Alternatively, continue ~1km up into the main township of Walhalla.

See Walhalla map on the next page. We enter from the bottom of the map, with the railway station on the right.We can explore the historic town centre, visit the old cemetery on the hilltop (a steep walk, apparently), walk along the elevated pathway along the Western hillside (part of the Australian Alps walking track!), enjoy one of the numerous coffee shops, do some photography, etc.

Lunch is at 12.30pm back at the Rawson Stockyard. We simply retrace our steps back to Rawson and through it. At the end of the divided road, we Turn Right onto Depot Road; the Stockyard is ~350m along on the right.

If you want to explore after lunch, you can head North 18km from Rawson to Thompson Dam.Alternatively, about 2km along the road is a turnoff to Mt Baw Baw – 25km of gravel road (good quality apparently) and from there you can continue along bitumen Mt Baw Baw Road (used as a round of the Australian Tarmac Rally Championship) to Noojee and from there either West to the Yarra Valley or South to the Princes Highway.

To return to Melbourne:Leave Rawson on the Moe-Walhalla Road (C466) that we came to Rawson on. Follow it all the way to Moe.Moe is a curse to navigate through and there are no signposts. If you have Satnav, it can take you to the Princes Freeway. Otherwise, these instructions aren’t the quickest but they’re the easiest way to navigate through Moe:

1. As you enter Moe, there’s a roundabout with Newborough written on it. Turn Right there to continue on C466.2. Go through the Shared Zone. At T intersection, Turn Right onto George Street, which becomes Waterloo Road and

follow it to Trafalgar.3. In Trafalgar, cross the level crossing and immediately Turn Right onto the Princes Freeway. Follow it to Melbourne.
