Our Story:
A new chapter in Korumburra’s musical and cultural story will begin this December with the opening of Black Creek Music, a specialist acoustic instrument store set to occupy the heritage-listed Foreman Building at 97 Commercial Street, built in 1892.
Located in the heart of Korumburra, Black Creek Music will offer a carefully curated range of high-quality acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, and folk instruments, along with expert repair, setup, and maintenance services. The store’s mission is to celebrate craftsmanship and community — blending modern musical passion with the enduring charm of one of the town’s most recognisable heritage buildings.
“We want to fill this space with music, stories, and life again — just as it once was when Korumburra was a bustling coal town.”
