Welcome to Coal Creek Community Park
And Museum

A new era begins at Coal Creek
 
Korumburra's iconic Coal Creek Village has reopened on weekends and public holidays in January and February 2008. It is expected to re-open on week-days as well in March 2008. The Village has been been changed into a Community Park and Museum. What does this mean? Most importantly, it means free entry! It means community members, groups and visitors alike are free to enter the park and enjoy the facilities.
 
Coal Creek Village will, of course, continue to showcase the fascinating history and priceless memorabilia of the area in its museum area, and  remain a vital resource for the education programs  involving local and visiting schoolchildren.
 
The new community park will provide entertainment areas for musical events and markets,  bush walking trails, and will maintain the  beautiful picnic areas by the lake . The popular Bush Tramway (operated by volunteers) continues to run, providing pleasure for children and the young at heart, but you will still have to buy a ticket! The Pig & Whistle will continue to offer refreshments at competitive prices.
 
It is expected that  the annual Buskers Festival and Carols by Candlelight will continue to be held at the Village, together with other community events. Stay tuned to this website for further information.
