The History of Wonnangatta Station
Wally Mortimer was born in Melbourne in 1927 and educated in West Wyalong and Sydney. After leaving school he went to his uncle's farm near Wodonga and in 1952 took up a dairy farm at Whitfield in the King Valley. Going to reside at Milawa near Wangaratta in the early 1960s, he then found he had the time to pursue his interests of trout fishing, bush walking, camping and four-wheel driving.
Even today the Wonnangatta Valley still remains his favourite hideaway.
