The Poowong Sculpture Park holds a small number of beautiful wooden sculptures and has spectacular views of South Gippsland, an ideal spot for a picnic.

The small parish of Poowong nestled in the rolling hills of South Gippsland, like much of the district was covered in dense rainforest. Early European settlers spend many hard years clearing the vast forest of giant trees, ferns, swordgrass & undergrowth until the township was established in the 1870s. One of Poowongs current-day treasures is the Poowong Sculpture Park located on the Poowong-Nyora Road.

The first public building to open was the picturesque Wesleyan Church, built surrounded by the rainforest. This building also served as the first school & was used by the Church of England. In 1981 the building was purchased by the Poowong Historical Group Inc. and is now known as the ‘The Pioneer Chapel.
