Welcome to Korumburra - The Heart of South Gippsland

Why travel halfway around the world to get the feel of the Welsh and Northern English countryside? Equally picturesque scenery, with that European quality, is only one-and-a-half hours drive from Melbourne. Down the South Gippsland Highway, you will find the town of Korumburra.

Nestled into the soft rolling hills of the Strzelecki Ranges, as green as the Emerald Isle itself, with scenic views from every hilltop, Korumburra will drift you back to rural Wales or the English moors. The peace and tranquillity of the area is enhanced by the charm and friendliness of the township itself.

Fine restaurants, enticing coffee shops and yummy bakeries are all available for your pleasure: a perfect beginning to that leisurely stroll around a pioneer Australian town.

Try Korumburra Heritage Trail or browse for that elusive something in several top quality antique, giftware or craft shops. From the grand Edwardian Railway Station, you can catch a nostalgic rail journey through the area. Go back to our historical past with a free visit to the renowned Coal Creek Heritage Village.

A visit to Korumburra for a day, or as a base to explore vibrant South Gippsland, will be a time to remember.
