Hepburn Regional Park

The forest around Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, holding the mineral springs that made these towns famous — Tipperary, Golden, Argyle and Sailors Falls among them — along with waterfalls, lookouts and relics of the gold rush. Walkers on the Mineral Springs Loop can sample the mineral water along the way; The Blowhole marks where 1850s miners diverted the flow of Sailors Creek through the hillside in search of gold; and the Goldfields Track crosses the park on its way between Ballarat and Bendigo. Storm damage has closed some tracks, so check conditions before setting out.

Storm damage has closed the Twin Bridges–Tipperary Springs (east side) and Blowhole–Golden Spring tracks until further notice.
