Korumburra information and attractions

Introduction:

Korumburra is situated in a region of rich dairying country amongst the scenic backdrop of the Strzelecki Ranges. The town was an important black coal mining centre in the late 1800s, however the industry declined, with the final mine closing in 1958.

Korumburra is centrally located to a number of attractions in the area including Wilsons Promontory National Park, scenic drives and bushwalking activities in the Strzelecki Ranges, and the re-created coal mining tourist village of Coal Creek, just south of the town centre. The South Gippsland Tourist Railway, which runs a collection of historical diesel locomotives and railcars between Nyora and Leongatha, passes through Korumburra.
