Black Diamond
The Black Diamond township site is located on the Mormontown Track, high on the hill above the Walhalla camping ground. Black Diamond was one of the satellite towns to spring up around the Walhalla township in the gold rush in the 1860's and as all the others did, it vanished when the gold ran out and all that remains today is a small clearing. There is not a lot to see these days but a small clearing and a few hard to find gold mines and mine shafts The Black Diamond area is not a good place to go wandering round in the dark either as the area is dotted with deep mine shafts that seem to go down forever into the ground. Some of the other small settlements around Walhalla were Happy Go Lucky, Mormontown, Maiden Town, Homedale and West Walhalla

To get to the Black Diamond township site on foot from Walhalla is hard slog up the Telecom Track from the Long Tunnel Gold Mine site to the Mormontown Track. Make sure you take plenty of water, as the area up the hill is usually dry and dusty all year round.
