Golden Spring is a sodium magnesium bicarbonate natural mineral water.
The Spring can be found by walking a section of the Wallaby Track on the Goldfields Track within the Hepburn Regional Park. It is located in a beautiful natural valley named “Woman’s Gully”.
During 1986 the spring was reported to have stopped flowing and again in 1990–92 flow from the spring diminished. In an attempt to increase flows a new bore was drilled in 2007 to a depth of 78m.
GETTING THERE:
If you are walking on the Goldfields Track it is located between Breakneck Gorge and the Argyle mineral spring.
From Hepburn Mineral Springs (on Forest- Back Hepburn Road) turn left then hard right onto Golden Spring Avenue (signposted), a steep narrow sealed road. Continue to the end of the avenue and park on the gravel beside the Tipperary Walking Track. A signpost indicates the 120 m walk down the sealed path to the spring. The track leading in the opposite direction heads to Jacksons Lookout a further 2.8 km (50 min) from the intersection.
