Natural Hot Mineral
Springs have been found deep underground on Melbourne’s Mornington
Peninsula. The 50ºC waters rich in healing minerals are now flowing to
the surface and into the thermal pools at the new Peninsula Hot Springs.
For the first time in Victoria it is possible to bathe in the naturally healing waters of mineral rich thermal pools. Like the historic and famous spa centres of Europe, Asia, the Americas and New Zealand, the natural hot springs on the Mornington Peninsula bring the blissful and healthy pleasure of “taking the waters” to the people. |
