Hepburn Regional Park

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.

Flora & FaunaMany native animals and birds inhabit the area including the Eastern Grey Kangaroo and Black Wallaby which are quite common. Species of birds also present include White-browed Scrubwrens, Crimson Rosellas, Yellow Robins, thornbills and honeyeaters just to name a few.

Most of Hepburn Regional Park supports a fairly dry, open eucalypt forest in which Red Stringybark, Red Box, Broad-leaved Peppermint and Long-leaved Box are the dominant species. The more southerly areas are damper and carry a taller forest of Messmate and Candlebarks. An array of wildflowers make a colourful display during Spring.
