Fear Not Mines of Walhalla

Fear Not Mines of Walhalla is a historical research guide covering several important mining areas within the famous Walhalla–Woods Point Gold Belt.

The guide includes the Great Walhalla, New Long Tunnel and Great Northern Mines, bringing together historical research with years of on-ground exploration of old mine sites, tracks, settlements and other surviving goldfield features.

Mines Covered

The publication includes information relating to:

• Great Walhalla Mine
• New Long Tunnel Mine
• Great Northern Mine

These mines form part of the broader Walhalla mining district, one of Victoria’s best-known historic reef-gold areas.

Based on Field Exploration

The Adventurer Maps series is built not only from historical records, but also from extensive fieldwork throughout the Walhalla–Woods Point Gold Belt.

The researchers behind the series have spent many years locating and recording old mines, hut sites, townships, tracks, graves and other historic remains throughout the region.

This gives the guide a practical connection to what can still be found and recognised on the ground today.
