About Poowong North
Poowong North is a small rural locality in South Gippsland, Victoria, situated approximately 111 kilometres south-east of Melbourne within the South Gippsland Shire. With a 2021 Census population of 202 residents spread across 31 square kilometres, the locality occupies rolling green hills and farming land characteristic of the Strzelecki Ranges foothills. The area is closely linked to the nearby township of Poowong, a traditional dairying community about 8 kilometres to the north-west of Korumburra.
The locality is predominantly agricultural, with cattle farming and dairying central to the local economy and landscape. Residents rely on the township of Poowong and nearby Korumburra for everyday services, schools, and retail. The South Gippsland Highway and local roads connect the area to Melbourne, making it a quiet rural retreat for those seeking acreage living within reasonable reach of the city. The natural surrounds — open paddocks, scattered trees, and a peaceful country atmosphere — attract buyers seeking a genuine farming lifestyle in one of Victoria's most productive agricultural shires.
Poowong North falls under postcode 3988 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Narracan (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
