Hepburn SODA

Soda Spring is just a short walk from the renowned Hepburn Bath House. It is in close proximity to Sulphur and Wyuna Mineral springs. All were discovered and then almost lost in the gold rush. Their waters were utilised for washing gold and they nearly disappeared under tons of mullock and mining spoils. Thankfully individuals such as Dr Rosetti, Mr B. Burner and others agitated and eventually gained protection of the springs with the Hepburn Mineral Spring Reserve being established in 1867.

In 1930 a 5-8m bore was drilled and equipped with a hand pump. The present bore was drilled in 2002 and is 12.5m deep
