Aerial view - Historic images - Walkaround : Powelltown Victoria Australia

Powelltown is in the Mountain Ash timber country of Victoria Australia and 85km (52mi) east of State capital Melbourne, and 15km (9mi) south-east of Yarra Junction.
The first settlement was established in 1901 when H Blake founded the first timber mill known as Blake's Mill; later a larger mill was constructed and completed in 1913 by the Victorian Powell Wood Processing Company to harvest hardwood mountain ash in the Little Yarra Valley to fill its new government contracts. The Post Office opened around 1904, as Blake's, and the settlement was renamed Powelltown in 1912.
