Walhalla was open to locals only after significant landslips had destabilised the main access roads into the mountain community last week.
Walhalla and Mountain Rivers Tourism Association president and town local Russell Wright said crews were assessing the damage in and around town.
“I heard lots of tumbling and crashing and the sound of the roaring river taking away roads, fences and trees,” Mr Wright said.
“When daylight broke, I saw extensive damage, so we began assessing what was urgent.”
Mr Wright said it took Erica SES crews an hour to cut their way into town due to the amount of fallen trees and debris, in what was usually a 15 min trip up the road.
