Kongwak is a small town in Victoria, Australia. It is located on the Korumburra to Wonthaggi Road southeast of Melbourne, in the South Gippsland Shire At the 2006 census, Kongwak had a population of 193. Kongwak was once a thriving community housing miners who assisted with the production of coal for the neighbouring La Trobe valley. Since this time the large population has slowly dwindled away and is a very small size now (2010) with the recent closure of the sugar mill. Locals would suggest this has been a good thing for the feel of the community being very local and close and the farming area supports the busier nearby areas of Inverloch, Wonthaggi and Korrumburra.
