Korweinguboora: Mineral Spring, Art and Circuit

Korweinguboora brings together mineral water and a sculpture project at the Spargo Creek Mineral Springs. Also here are the Spargo Werribee River Circuit, which passes through Spargo Creek Mineral Springs Reserve, and a Recreation Reserve with play and picnic facilities. These themes offer different points of interest: from the cultural significance of the spring water to a clearly designated circuit route and practical options for taking a break. You can explore Korweinguboora through the experiences that matter for your trip.

Brim Brim: Art at the Mineral Springs Site

Brim Brim is the Wadawurrung word for spring water and also the title of the sculptures commissioned by Moorabool Shire Council for the mineral spring sites in Ballan and Spargo Creek. The Spargo Creek site is in Korweinguboora. The installation there comprises two connected works made from locally sourced, 120-year-old red gum. The Council introduced the project in 2023; it is intended to acknowledge First Nations connections to the sites. The combination of the word’s meaning, the material and the project’s purpose makes Brim Brim a culturally significant topic in the town.

Mineral Spring and Water

Spargo Creek Mineral Reserve is on Spargo Creek Road in Korweinguboora and provides access to free-flowing water straight from the mineral spring. The mineral water is sodium bicarbonate type, often called soda water, and tastes sweet. The term soda water describes the type of water in everyday language, while its sweet taste is another characteristic of the mineral water. If you are planning a visit, check the current status of the facilities at the Reserve before you travel.

Circuit with a Clearly Stated Distance

The Spargo Werribee River Circuit is a 15.7 km Grade 4 loop trail that passes through Spargo Creek Mineral Springs Reserve. A visit to the spring focuses on access to free-flowing water; the Circuit offers a different focus, with its designated route to consider as part of your plans. Access and trail conditions may change; check them before setting out.

Play and Picnic Facilities

In addition to its sports oval, Korweinguboora Recreation Reserve has a playground. There are also shaded picnic tables and a covered barbecue area with two free electric barbecues; toilets and water taps round out the facilities. If you are travelling with children, the playground can be a separate item in your day’s plans. The picnic tables and barbecue area offer practical options for taking a break. As physical facilities can change, check their current status before visiting.
