Hepburn Regional Park is nestled around the famous mineral springs townships of Daylesford, Hepburn and Hepburn Springs. The Park contains natural mineral springs and significant relics of the gold mining era, all set in delightful bush surroundings. Each season provides a different experience, with spring being a time of activity, growth and colour. Things to Do Tipperary Walking Track
Runs from picturesque Lake Daylesford to the Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve, following Sailors Creek and Spring Creek through foothill forest for most of the way. The 16 kilometre track takes approximately five to six hours, is mostly level to gently undulating and is quite easy walking. The Blowhole
This artificial diversion tunnel on Sailors Creek was built by gold miners, probably in the early 1870s. A hole through the spur was cut to redirect the water flow from the original creek line. The soil in the dry creek bed was then sluiced for gold. It is an impressive sight when the creek is in full flow. In addition to viewing The Blowhole, two short loop walks can be undertaken by following the spur above the tunnel or through the 'diggings' area. Mount Franklin
Mount Franklin, or Lalgambook as it was known by the Jajowurrong, is located 8 km north of Daylesford, 2 km off the Midland Highway (Daylesford-Castlemaine Road). The sheltered extinct volcanic crater of Mount Franklin provides ideal surroundings for a picnic or short term camping. Panoramic views can be obtained from the summit and there is a scenic walking track along the rim of the crater. Mountain Bikes and Horse Riding
