Dalhousie Springs

I am pretty sure Dalhousie Springs refers to the area, which has more than one mound spring. As a consequence I am not sure of the name of this - the main sprin. There is public access for a therapeutic soak in the hot artesian water, there is even a bundle of pool noodles to use. I found it much more pleasant in the early morning with the cooler ambient temperature than in the afternoon. The water is quite warm.

The nibbling fish are quite pleasant when nibbling your feet but can smart a bit when they take a bite from the more sensitive areas such as your back.

Just like so many of the plants out here we have not clue what this is called. Ann would love to find a book/app for the ipad similar to the bird app we have.

This smaller open spring (rainbow serpent spring) is a short walk from the main spring.

Did some one really have some cultivation here using the spring water?
