Bathing Culture
WHAT IS AUSTRALIAN BATHING CULTURE?
Inclusive
Diverse
Tranquil
Journey
Reconnection
These are some of the words that describe the spirit of Australia’s evolving bathing culture. Regardless of who we are or where we come from, water gives us a way of coming back ‘down to earth’. We’re unconstrained by tradition which means that we move freely between rugged ocean pools to Victorian era mineral baths and hilltop hot springs. It’s also a way of us celebrating our rich heritage of First Nations, European and Migrant cultures.
Water connects us all. We stay connected to different global bathing cultures – from hot springs to saunas, hamams, mud baths and urban bathing.
We also support World Bathing Events. Find out more here.
