Discover Springhurst

Springhurst combines active recreation with a tangible testament to the region’s dairy industry. Land sailing and blokarting give the town a distinct sporting connection; the former Springhurst & District Dairy Company offers a glimpse into the history of the dairy industry. For your stay, you can first decide whether activity, local history or an event should be the focus.

Sport and events

Springhurst Recreation Reserve offers a range of sporting activities, including land sailing. The North East Windsport Club is based in Springhurst and offers the opportunity to try blokarting. The distinction between the information is useful for planning: land sailing is one of several sporting activities at the reserve, while the club specifically mentions the opportunity to try blokarting. If this activity is what motivates your visit, check the club’s visitor offering before you travel.

Springhurst Recreation Reserve can also be booked for events. If you are organising an event yourself, you can consider the reserve as a venue. Availability may change, so confirm your preferred date in advance. The reserve is of interest for two different purposes: sport and events of your own. If you are interested in a sporting activity, you can consider the options listed; if you are organising an event yourself, you should instead check the booking arrangements. This helps you distinguish in advance whether the reserve is relevant as a recreational facility or as a venue for your own event.

A testament to the dairy industry

The former Springhurst & District Dairy Company at 160 Anzac Road, Springhurst, is listed by the National Trust as having regional significance. The factory of the former company was built in 1912 and is regarded as a valuable reminder of the importance of the dairy industry in north-east Victoria. The construction date places its history in time; the regional significance of the dairy industry connects the individual building with a broader theme of the area. Alongside its active pursuits, Springhurst thus offers a clear point of cultural and historical interest.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

Springhurst railway station is near Canning Road, off the Hume Freeway, in Springhurst, Victoria 3682. These location details give you specific reference points for planning your journey. If you want to take the railway station into account, compare the exact address of your accommodation with your own travel plans. If you include the station and the historic site in your plans, treat them as separate locations: 160 Anzac Road is given for the dairy, while Canning Road and the Hume Freeway are the location details for the station. This lets you check both points separately on your own map without assuming a shared route.

You can choose accommodation based on what you would like to experience or explore in Springhurst.
