Statement of Significance
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".
Aesthetically, it is the largest of the three Strzelecki memorials erected in the Shire. (AHC criterion - E.1)
