WALHALLA GOLDFIELDS RAILWAY  Triumphs.

Following the bush fire activity which destroyed the smallest  bridge on the railway line the rest of the railway  was saved after strenuous efforts from DSE fire bombing helicopters, CFA and a small group of WGR personnel.

At Happy Creek Station (2km from Walhalla), the fire also burnt to the platform itself and a stack of 150 new sleepers was saved following application of fire retardant.

+ Bridge No. 7 ("Three Span" or also known as "Cascade Bridge", 600m from Happy Creek Station was severely damaged and has been  completely rebuilt.

The railway is  now fully reopened.
