Springs Walk
Daylesford - Mount Franklin 21km
This is a long walk best done in two days. The section from Daylesford to Hepburn Springs follows the existing 'Tipperary Track' and passes six mineral springs on the way. Most of the walk is along the bottom of the gully.
From Hepburn Springs the Walk goes up into dry box forest around the old mining settlement of Dry Diggings. It includes a number of significant mine sites either side of the Track, particularly in Beehive Gully.
Once you are on the Midland Highway you can take the 8 km side track to Mt Franklin.
The entry station can be located at Lake Daylesford.
