Drive just an hour and half north west of Sydney and you\u2019d still be in the suburbs. Travel that distance from Melbourne and you\u2019ve left the rat race behind.<\/p>\n

Sydney and Melbourne are hugely popular with Expedia’s Aussie Travellers for\u00a0short city breaks<\/a>. But sometimes it’s good to see more than a city.<\/p>\n

Hepburn Springs is a pocket of paradise for city slickers craving a dose of the country life. It\u2019s a medicine we all need every once and a while and in Hepburn Springs, you might actually find just what the doctor ordered.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, Hepburn Springs is home to several thermal springs, and like Bath in England, was once a popular spot for \u201ctaking the waters\u201d.<\/p>\n

On a gentle walk into the Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve, just beyond the\u00a0Hepburn Bath House & Spa<\/a>, water bubbles up from the earth in a series natural springs, enriched by high levels of natural minerals.<\/p>\n

Stop by the taps stationed along the springs and hand pump out a stream of spring water \u2013 each tap\u2019s source is different and the water\u2019s slightly carbonated metallic-tang changes a little each time, our favourite is at Soda Spring, where the water tastes just like tonic water.<\/p>\n

The streams flow back past the Bathhouse, where you\u2019ve got a chance to really try out the local water. Drawing on the natural springs since 1895, the Bathhouse has long been a stop on the tourist trail.<\/p>\n
