High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Walhalla Cricket Ground is a landmark in Walhalla, Victoria, Australia. Linked by a walking track from Walhalla Road, the cricket ground is perched at the top of a hill, because that was the only flat land that the early townsfolk could find for sporting activities. It is claimed that the half-hour climb up the hill to reach the ground, in conjunction with the long trip to Walhalla itself, ensured a home advantage.The ground was used for organised sporting events in the heyday of Walhalla's goldmining era, but after large-scale mining stopped in 1910, the ground has largely been a tourist destination and curiosity, apart from occasional social cricket matches and the like. It is referenced in Weddings Parties Anything's song The Ghosts of Walhalla.
