The original Metung Hot Springs closed in the early 1990s, but recently a 500-metre-deep bore at a new site in Kings Cove was redeveloped and is producing 45-degree geothermal mineral water.

Join the team behind Metung Hot Springs on an immersive tour of the future Hot Springs site. Learn about the redevelopment of the bore, the benefits of the 45-degree geothermal mineral water and the phasing and staging of the development. Most importantly, finish the tour with an opportunity to bathe in the ‘pop up hot springs’ while taking in breathtaking views of the Gippsland Lakes. (Don’t forget to pack your bathers and a towel!)

Access requirements: please note this event is not wheelchair accessible and requires a general level of fitness to navigate steep outdoor terrain. The event is outdoors so come prepared for all weather and dress appropriately.
