Powelltown is a town in Victoria, Australia, 70 km east of Melbourne's central business district, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area.

The logs were transported from the forests to the sawmills by tramway and from there to the railheads at Yarra Junction and Warburton.

Renowned axemen like Shane Corr opened up the veins of timber with no more than an axe and a team of bullocks to fulfil his government contracts.

A relative of Charles, former West Coast Eagles defender David Wirrpanda also played junior football with the Powelltown Demons.
