KORUMBURRA STRZELECKI MEMORIAL

The Strzelecki Memorial at Korumburra, designed by Mr. F. A.Horsfall and constructed in 1927 at Korumburra-Warragul Road, Korumburra. 
The Strzelecki Memorial at Korumburra is located in a triangle at the intersection of the Old Bena Korumburra Road and Warragul Road. It is a simple roughly constructed tapered square column of split bluestone pitcher quoins and coursed bluestone rubble on a square base, with battered sides and a pyramidal top. A bronze plaque on the east side commemorates Strzelecki's passing near this place in May 1840; "Count Strzelecki, first explorer, South Gippsland passed this spot May 1840. Erected 1927".

The Strzelecki Memorial at Korumburra is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the town and district of Korumburra.

Historically, it is important as one of a series of similar memorials that were erected in 1927 at various sites throughout Gippsland, including Mirboo North and Leongatha, to commemorate the exploration of Gippsland by Sir Paul Edmund Strzelecki. (AHC criteria - A.4 and D.2)
