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.
