Hi Bruce, I spent the first 15 years of my life in the Korumburra district (60s and 70s, so not so good on the ancient history), but hope that the following info is of some assistance: Coal Creek Heritage Park is situated on the site of the old mines in the Korumburra area - you'll find some great info on their website. http://www.coalcreekvillage.com.au/index.htm Korumburra & District Historical Society Inc. Contacts: c/- Mr Doug Boston 24 Radovick Street KORUMBURRA VIC 3950 AUSTRALIA Phone: 03 5655 1932 No email or fax listed. Hope this is of some use. Rgds, RAELENE
