Peron Homestead
Peron Homestead relied heavily on artesian bore water and the first bore drilled on the Peninsula was located at the homestead. It was drilled in the 1920s to a depth of 542 metres, was continuously flowing and produced water at 44 degrees Celsius. In 1998 it was necessary to sink a new bore at the homestead.
This water is used for the captive breeding animal program as well as upkeep of grassed areas and for the native animals that come to drink at the pond. Today, the artesian bore at Peron Homestead has been developed into a recreational 'hot tub' for the public to enjoy.
The historic homestead boasts information panels, barbecues, hot tub, grassed area, car park and toilets. Check out the Pastoral Lifestyle Walk trail. This 45 minute trail from the Peron Homestead takes visitors through the homestead and outbuildings of the former pastoral station.
The best time to visit the area is between April and October, when winds are generally lightest and the temperature is in the mid-20s (degrees Celsius). Temperatures can be extremely hot in the summer months.
Please take note of the signs which specify the requirements for minimising health risks when using the tub.
