Overview
Rest and rejuvenate in the enriching natural waters of Hepburn Springs, on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung people, and sample the bounty of the early Swiss Italian migrants to discover a vibrant community of artists, healers, gardeners, writers and musicians.
Healing waters
Historic Hepburn Springs is in the middle of Australia's largest concentration of mineral springs, which are full of health-giving minerals. Taste the different mineral formulations at old-fashioned pumps and pipes in Hepburn Springs Mineral Springs Reserve.
Your mind and body will also experience the benefits of these health-giving minerals at a local spa and wellness centre. Indulge in hydrotherapy, massage and beauty therapy at one of Hepburn's iconic bathhouses.
Local rambles
Pick up a map from the Daylesford Visitor Information Centre and take the Historic Village Walk. Visit the Old Macaroni Factory (1859), Villa Parma (1864) and restored Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco guesthouses, shops, hotels, and miners' cottages.
Follow the waters and walk through Hepburn Regional Park in spring and see colourful wildflowers and myriad animals and birds. Venture along the 16-kilometre Tipperary Track and explore Sailors Falls, Mount Franklin Reserve, the Blowhole and the Hepburn Pool.
