Poowong is a small dairying town located in South Gippsland, in the Australian state of Victoria.

On part of the Scott land a store, pub and butcher's shop were built.

[9] The heavily timbered and hilly nature of the area meant selectors took years to clear enough of their land to make a living from their selections.

These include four tennis courts, two netball courts, an indoor basketball and squash stadium, a primary school, large community hall, outdoor swimming pool,[10] a number of churches and an Australian rules football oval.

The town has an Australian Rules football team and a netball team competing in the Ellinbank & District Football League[11] and the Ellinbank & District Netball Association respectively.
