Poowong and Jeetho Shire

Poowong and Jeetho Shire (1891-1922) in south Gippsland was created on 29 May 1891, by severance of part of Buln Buln shire. Buln Buln shire was centred on Drouin and Warragul, but reached south to the hills around Loch, Nyora, Korumburra and Outtrim. Most of the new shire’s hills were forested.
