瓦尔哈 是一个位于新英格兰（新南威尔士州）地区北部高地的城镇，通过雷击之路（Thunderbolts Way）距离悉尼以北425公里，距离海港麦克利以西184 公里。该地区是奥克西野生河流国家公园的南部门户，可以从位于瓦尔哈以东20 公里、沿奥克西公路（Oxley Highway）岔出1 公里处的阿普斯利瀑布进入，该路段为铺装路面。

了解

瓦尔哈是享受钓鱼、四驱车旅行以及徒步穿越峡谷、雨林和瀑布的荒野地区的绝佳地点。该镇以其独特的露天画廊、历史建筑、咖啡馆、餐馆和优质住宿而闻名。

气候

瓦尔哈气候凉爽，冬季有降雪和霜冻之夜，气温极低。然而，霜冻之后通常是晴朗的日子。秋季，城镇的树木色彩斑斓，非常适合拍照。夏季是游览瓦尔哈的好时节，但即使在温暖晴朗的日子里，气温也可能突然下降。由于海拔原因，该镇很少有湿热天气，即使气温达到33°C的日子也尚可忍受。请携带充足的保暖衣物，以应对一年中任何时候可能出现的骤降气温。

在非常寒冷的夜晚，未经处理的（夏季）柴油可能会“凝胶”（从液体变为半固体）。在零度以下，柴油发动机可能会出现启动困难，并且预热缓慢。当早晨变暖时（通常在上午9点之前），车辆无需干预即可正常运行。

旅游信息

• 1 瓦尔哈游客信息中心, 29w Fitzroy Street (在人行横道旁，IGA超市对面), ☏ +61 2 6774 2460, 传真: +61 2 6774 2462, council@walcha.nsw.gov.au. 周一至周五 9:00-16:30；周末 9:30-16:00.  

抵达

乘汽车

瓦尔哈位于风景优美的雷击之路（Thunderbolts Way）和奥克西公路（Oxley Highway）的交汇处。从南部（悉尼）经太平洋公路（Pacific Highway）经过雷蒙德台地（Raymond Terrace）时，您会在路左侧看到一个指向巴克特斯路（Bucketts Way）和格洛斯特（Gloucester）的出口标志。走这个出口，在格洛斯特的环岛处左转，然后一直沿着这条路（雷击之路）走，就可以到达瓦尔哈。这条路线比经过猎人谷和塔姆沃思的新英格兰公路（New England Highway）要短约70 公里，并且大部分路段限速100 公里/小时，除了在猎人谷地区。当您在新英格兰公路行驶，经过本德米尔（Bendemeer）并越过麦克唐纳河（Macdonald River）后，右转进入奥克西公路，这条路会带您到达瓦尔哈。从格洛斯特和海港麦克利骑摩托车也是非常受欢迎的风景路线。请勿在镇上超速行驶。当地警察正在试用一些新的“玩具”。

乘火车

瓦尔哈没有火车站，而是由附近的车站提供服务：1 瓦尔哈路车站 ，距离瓦尔哈以西约20 公里。抵达或离开瓦尔哈路车站的火车与瓦尔哈之间有巴士连接，您需要在预订火车票时一并预订。此项每日火车服务连接悉尼和阿米代尔，服务在阿米代尔结束。

四处逛逛

镇上没有公共交通服务，您需要一辆车才能前往镇外的许多景点。如果您计划前往河畔露营区（Riverside Camping Area）和尤代尔小屋（Youdale’s Hut）的荒野地区，则需要一辆配备低速四驱的车辆。前往奥克西野生河流国家公园内的壮观阿普斯利瀑布，普通车辆即可轻松抵达，而前往蒂亚瀑布（Tia Falls）可能需要一辆SUV。

下一站

Walcha Shire has approximately 156,000 ha of National Parks and Wilderness in the region. The wilderness area incorporates most of the Oxley Wild Rivers and Werrikimbe National Parks.

The spectacular Apsley Falls, which has disabled persons access, about 7 viewing platforms, a gorge rim walk, picnic and camping areas is 20 km east of Walcha on a sealed road. Tia Falls are about 44 km east along the Oxley Highway. These falls are part of the 90,000 ha Oxley Wild Rivers National Park which is one of the largest National Parks in NSW. The park contains the scenic Macleay Gorges Wilderness Area and is listed on the World Heritage Register in recognition of its importance to nature conservation.

Riverside is a rare area where one can take a low range 4WD into a wilderness area for a day trip or camping, after paying a fee and obtaining a key at Apsley Motors.

Youdale’s Hut is another low range 4WD vehicle destination that is also possible to access after paying a fee and obtaining a key at Apsley Motors.

Werrikimbe National Park, 60 km east of Walcha is a pristine wilderness. It's a World Heritage park, wrapped within the dramatic fold of the Great Dividing Range where two rivers, the Forbes and Hastings, begin their journey to the coast. Racecourse Trail runs for 20 km across the top section of Werrikimbe and gives access to the park's highlights. Here you'll see subalpine swamp, heath, snow gums and the soft grey-greens of the cool climate eucalypt forests. In spring, the high country wildflowers alone make this a spectacular drive. There are many other National Parks and Nature Reserves in or near the district, including: Mummel Gulf National Park.

Other tourist attractions include scenic 4WD trips, hiking, visiting the State Forests, fishing (mainly for trout) and fossicking opportunities.
