Thorpdale VIC - a photo on Flickriver

Thorpdale VIC

            One of several cottages in this street reputed to have been relocated from the gold-mining town of Walhalla.

The Victorian Railways finally completed the railway line to Walhalla in 1910, sadly about the same time that mining in the area became unprofitable and most mines closed and the residents packed up and left. The population during the gold era peaked at around 4,000 compared with today's permanent population of approximately 20 residents. 

So it was somewhat ironical that the railway line's main function became the removal of houses and other buildings from the town it was built to service. Today, they are dotted over many areas of Gippsland and beyond.
