Water story: the remarkable journey from rain to thermal water.
For decades, people worldwide have sought solace in Hanmer Springs’ thermal pools. Incredibly, the water that has brought restoration and rejuvenation to so many bodies has been around for 173 years!
Beginning as snow and rain on the mountains, it permeates the Greywacke basement rock, resting two kilometres underground. There, it absorbs warmth from the earth’s core. This ancient water is then brought to the surface for bathing and heating.
Moreover, the thermal pool operators continuously strive for excellence, frequently enhancing their facilities, including the installation of opulent underfloor-heated changing rooms during one particular round of improvements.
Sit back, relax, and relish the gift of nature, fashioned many years ago!
