Kurth Kiln, Heritage site in Gembrook, Australia.
The Kurth Kiln structure stands within the Yarra Ranges Shire, featuring a preserved charcoal production facility surrounded by native Australian forest.
Built in 1940, the kiln served as an essential industrial facility during World War II, producing charcoal for local industries in Victoria.
The site now functions as an educational center where visitors learn about industrial heritage through interpretive displays and preserved machinery.
Monthly working sessions occur every second Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, with barbecue facilities and refreshments available for participants.
Local school children participate in revegetation projects at the site, planting native species to maintain the natural environment around the kiln.
