Kurth Kiln --- Gembrook. Kurth Kiln was built to provide charcoal to use in cars during the war. The 9-metre-high red brick structure still stands today in the Kurth Kiln Regional Park near Gembrook, is the only example of its patented, continuous-burning design remaining in Australia. Nearby the delightful Tomahawk Creek and it's tracks lined with ferns, and a patch of beautiful tall gums have survived the early logging. |
