Up until two years ago, the Redwood Forest was a little-known stand of Californian Redwoods that was considered a secret and meditative destination among locals. As a National Trust heritage listed site, stepping into the forest was done with a sense of awe and respect – its silence and simple beauty the essence of its appeal.
Today it is bittersweet to see that its appeal is so widespread. The attraction of visitors has happened at a rate that has far outpaced the Redwood Forest’s capacity to cope, and also the ability of authorities and stakeholders to develop appropriate infrastructure.
Dogs cannot be taken in the Redwood Forest as it is a National Park.

ocated 7 km North of Gembrook, Kurth Kiln was first established in 1942, and at that time was the only continuously operating charcoal kiln in Australia. It had a capacity of 25 tonnes of billets (1.2m lengths 6f wood) which, when topped up every two hours, produced three tonnes of charcoal every twenty four hours. Charcoal was used in motor vehicles as a substitute for petrol with so called "Gas Producers". A 6 shilling (60c) bag would last for up to 100 km.
Today Kurth Kiln is a Picnic Ground and camping ground in a quiet and peaceful bushland setting. Here the wind sings its undulating song in tall Eucalyptus trees, and graceful black cockies sail majestically overhead.
Picturesque walking tracks lead along the Tomahawk Creek, crossing it on several rustic bridges. At Kurth Kiln you are never far from civilisation yet you feel the beauty of the bush talking to you as if you were the only person in the world.
Kurth Kiln and its parklands cover approximately 3500 ha.
