Sailors Falls Mineral Spring

Good springs that can be accessed right from the main road (Ballan - Daylesford road). You can see the falls from the top without going down the stairs.There are two lookout areas - upper deck and lower deck. The metal stairs takevyou to upper deck. While the falls are visible from here, the complete view is obliterated by trees. The stone stairs (can be slippery) take you to the lower deck which is no better than upper deck in terms of the view.There is a short trail to the falls which is muddy and can be very slippery. But there is a great view of the falls at the end of it.There is a 140 mts trail to the mineral springs pump. From there you can continue on the trail and see other springs but this is as far as we got to.Good experience.

Due to floods last year the majority of the area is blocked off due to safety reasons. Hopefully this will be amended soon. One toilet located in the parking area along with some shelter. You can still go for a short walk along the stream but can't get very far. Currently unable to get to the bottom of the waterfall.

A really easy to access waterfall, with a view of the waterfall from by the Carpark, another view about 100m down there stairs, and the best view a further 140m walk on a flattish path to the base of the waterfall.The reserve around the carpark is well maintained with a drop toilet available. Unfortunately the rest of the area is really badly over grown with weeds. There's very little natural vegetation along the 1.4km mineral springs loop walk. The mineral springs area is also pretty disappointing, the health of the stream and the spring is quite poor, it hasn't coped well with European influence over the years.Still probably worth the stop, but I you're looking for a nice park in the Hepburn area this probably shouldn't be your first stop.

Just a short distance out if Daylesford, easy access off the road, small playground for children, and toilets (drop). The falls are well sign posted, with good stairs leading down to the falls. The best view of the fall is half way down there stairs. If you walk down to the bottom, you will be disappointed with the view. You can not see the falls from the bottom. Also having walked to the bottom looking forward to walking the circuit ( as sign posted at the top), again you will be disappointed as the track is closed. It would have been good to know before walking all the way down. This is the second falls we visited this day in the area where tracks were closed and the area maintainence below par.

Such beautiful and fun trails to explore! I love the serene atmosphere of this place. There is also a lovely waterfall along the trails. The water from the mineral spring tastes gross, but it's all part of the experience :-)

Nice for a quick visit, waterfall was flowing (April), best view was from car park or just the first/top bit of the steps. Waterfall wasn't visible from the lower part of steps or the bottom, as obscured by trees, so if you have mobility limits you're not missing anything by staying at/near the car park! Walks from the falls were closed due to flood & storm damage, so a 10-15min visit only.

You can only view the Falls from near the top. If you walk down the bottom of the stairs (there are quite a few) which we did you cannot see them as the trees block it out. Disappointing, the track down the bottom used to have a circuit track but that was closed. Falls are not big but would look nice if there was a lot of rain.

Still water flowing, seeing it's been very dry that was a bonus. Great views from the lookout. Sad the loop walk is closed, but it is quite do-able. Toilets, picnic areas are good.

Water tastes yuck - but that's the experience!Beautiful waterfalls and waking trails to get to them.

Nice small waterfall, walked down the path but one was closed off as the bridge was damaged and there were a lot of fallen trees. Very lush greenery and worth a stop if you are driving in or out of Daylesford.
