Flat ground in Walhalla was at a premium, so the townsfolk got clever and sliced the top off the mountain to create a sports field. "Recreation Hill" as it became known was witness to several famous events and people. In April 1907, the MCC played Walhalla with Warwick Armstrong as Captain. He went on to become the Australian Cricket team Captain and beat England 5:0 in the Ashes in 1921
