Thornton Track in summer, Kurth Kiln Park

The Kurth Kiln Park is a large area of preserved forest, 70 km east of Melbourne, adjacent to the Bunyip State Park, north of the town of Gembrook.

It includes the historical Kiln, used in the 1940s for the manufacture of charcoal.

The Tomahawk Creek runs through the park - the main walking trail is the 3 km (return) Thornton Track.

I visited the Park on January 28, 2012, exploring the Thornton Track, starting at the main picnic ground, then leading into Scout Camp Track and Soldier's Rd.
