Hot Spring
A hard to access, hard to find, odourless warm spring secluded in nature.

There is a quaint creek that flows between the two springs nestled in a narrow valley. It is reported that the main springs dissolved mineral content is low and it can reach temperatures up to 26°C. Approximately 200 metres upstream at the base of a cliff in the mud is a seep with temperatures up to 27°C creating the second spring.
