Baw Baw Shire Council has partnered with Hogget Kitchen and Walhalla Goldfields Railway to host a winter feast for the senses in Walhalla on Sunday 3 July.
Starting with a scenic journey on the historic Walhalla Goldfields Railway, diners will be greeted at Walhalla Railway Station with mulled wine, hot chai and nibbles served fresh on the platform.
They will then travel by private train through Stringers Gorge and across the Thomson River, showcasing the spectacular scenery which surrounds the historic goldmining township.
