109 Years of Healing: The Soldiers’ Block Reawakens

June 3, 2025
On 3 June 1916, a remarkable building opened its doors in Hanmer Springs, The Soldiers’ Block. Purpose-built to bring light, air, and healing to soldiers returning from the horrors of the First World War. Today, on its 109th anniversary, we don’t just remember that moment—we celebrate a powerful new beginning for a place that has meant so much to so many.
