Weeping Rock

Weeping Rock is on of the little known secret spots of the Walhalla area.
Weeping Rock is a near vertical rock face nearly 7 metres in height and around 8 metres wide, which is located in the steep gully behind the Happy Creek Station of the Walhalla Goldfields Railway. In wet weather the run off from the gully flows over Weeping rock giving it a weeping appearance. Weeping Rock is reached from the Bruntons Bridge road by following the Sargent's Firewood Tramway #12. On the way you pass a couple of old Gold

mines, the first of the 2 is Little Joe and located right at the beginning of the track and the second mine is about 100 metres on and is partially blocked off. Also on this track there are a couple of old house sites with some chimney remains Below are pictures of weeping rock and the surrounding bush as well as a few pictures of the Gold mines along the track. The picture of the inside of the gold mine was achieved by holding the camera inside the mine entrance and using the camera zoom to get a good inside view.
