Wombat Flat Mineral Spring

Situated on the shore of Lake Daylesford, Wombat Flat is only a short walk or drive from the town centre. Surrounded by shady trees, grassy banks and inquisitive geese, Wombat Flat Spring is a great spot for a picnic.

The original spring at this spot was commonly known as Courtot’s Pump. Alfred Courtot, a nearby resident at the time of the construction of Lake Daylesford in 1929, made persistent representations to the then Borough Council to save the spring from disappearing under the lake. A pump was installed by 1930 but had a relatively short life – about 10 years.
