Dip into Australia’s bathing culture at Victoria’s top five hot springs - SilverKris
"Set on the site of Australia’s first bathhouse (dating to 1895) and renovated in 2008, this historic spot — about 90 minutes from Melbourne — offers natural mineral water pools (34°C–36°C) housed in a sleek grey-slate building. The Sanctuary package upgrades the visit with access to a salt magnesium pool, spa couches, steam room and hammam, while visitors can also explore nearby mineral taps, the Pavilion Café (part of the original 19th-century structure), local boutiques and produce stores, then finish the day with a gourmet dinner and local wine." - Victoria Khroundina
