The Hepburn Springs Mineral Water

Sink into the legendary mineral waters of Hepburn Springs, drawn direct from the source and full of nature’s powerful healing potential. Long before the first mineral spring was discovered by early settlers in 1838, the Dja Dja Wurrung people recognised the power of these ancient “special waters”, rich in minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium and sulphur.  

Hepburn Springs is the historic home of mineral bathing in Australia. It’s the location of Australia’s first mineral reserve, established in the 1860s and further developed in 1895 with the opening of Australia’s first bathhouse. Over the decades since, Hepburn’s healing waters have continued to provide visitors with a natural therapeutic experience of relaxation, rejuvenation and recovery. These restorative waters are rich in a range of minerals that help to soothe muscle tension, encourage deep relaxation, revitalise the skin and promote vitality.  

The enchanting mineral waters of Hepburn Springs are considered among the best in the world. As far back as 1927, a Dr McKenzie Meldrum from Washington, USA noted in a letter, “After having travelled in 45 different countries of the world, and having seen most of the famous springs, both hot and cold, I unhesitatingly say that Hepburn Springs are superior to most of them, in native beauty, invigorating force, and curative power.”  

The curative power that Dr Meldrum mentions is thanks to the rich mineral profile of Hepburn Springs mineral water, which includes:  

• Calcium: Supports bone health, promotes strong teeth, and aids in muscle function. 
• Magnesium: Soothes muscle tension, relaxes the body, and supports overall relaxation. 
• Sulphur: Detoxifies the skin, helps to cleanse and purify, and promotes healthy skin. 
• Potassium: Assists in fluid balance, supports nerve function, and contributes to heart health. 
• Iron: Helps to transport oxygen in the blood, supports energy production, and promotes overall vitality. 
• Silica: Supports healthy skin, hair, and nails, and aids in collagen production. 
• Sodium: Maintains fluid balance, supports nerve transmission, and plays a role in releasing muscle contraction. 
• Lithium: Has potential mood-stabilising effects and contributes to overall mental well-being.
