At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Poowong had a population of 360.[1] It is {{convert|111|km|mi|0}} from Melbourne and about eight kilometres north-west of Korumburra.[2] The Post Office opened around January 1878.[3] For a town of its size, Poowong is quite well off with regard to its facilities. Facilities include four tennis courts, two netball courts, an indoor basketball stadium, a primary school, large community hall, heated swimming pool, a number of churches and an Australian rules football oval. The town has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Ellinbank & District Football League.[4] Community ProjectsThe Poowong community is active, with many projects being undertaken by various community groups. The largest group, by far, is the Poowong Football & Netball Club who involve themselves not only in sporting projects, but also in projects helping the wider community. One such project is the current 'My Connected Community' project which is being run by the Poowong Football Club in a partnership with the Strzelecki Lions Club, and is designed to increase Internet use amongst community members.[5] Notable people from Poowong
