was saved after strenuous efforts from DSE fire bombing helicopters, CFA and a
small group of WGR personnel.
At Happy Creek Station (2km from Walhalla), the fire also burnt to the platform
itself and a stack of 150 new sleepers was saved following application of fire
retardant.

Creek Station was severely damaged and has been completely rebuilt.
The railway is now fully reopened.
