korumburra is known as the "heritage centre of south gippsland". it is the home of coal creek community park and museum. this village depicts life in the area over the period from the 1870s to 1920s, as the town rapidly expanded following the discovery of a coal seam. the outdoor museum covers 12 hectares of bushland, including 60 exhibits. these include the giant earthworm, national bank, anzac exhibit, mining exhibits, dairy exhibit at the boston carriageworks and railway museum. a tramway runs on weekends around the lower end of the park encompassing an old-time farm and bush oval. many local organisations use the park and environs and special events are held during the year.
