There is one in the Dandenong Ranges at Kays Picnic Ground (between Kallista and Monbulk). It's located on the other side of the creek from the car park. There used to be a pipe running from it so people could fill there containers with the water. The pipe was taken away a few years ago but it's still possible to access the spring.

There's one at the Ten Mile car park on Donna Buang and at St Ronans Well about 1 km past Dom Dom Saddle on the Black Spur.

Quite a good little guide if you can track one down, try the local library, photocopy sections if you need to.
......I enjoyed tracking them down & tasting the different mineral contents from various sites.
For some, you might have to hold your nose though. :lol:

Here is a web site that has lists of springs worldwide, only 15 for Australia though (so far). Perhaps you can add some. http://www.findaspring.com/category/locations/

MacAlister springs. Even in summer it is C O L D. It comes out of the bedrock of the Howitt High Plains.
