Yallourn

Whilst the township no longer exists, at the 2006 census, the adjacent region classified as Yallourn had a population of 251.

[4] It is sometimes mistakenly thought to have been designed by Walter Burley Griffin, who planned Canberra, Australia's capital city.

The whole town area was surrounded by a green belt varying between native vegetation, open parkland and sporting and recreational complexes.

[5] Houses within the town were constructed to a limited number of designs but these were varied by differing external detailing and surface finishes.

The pitch of the roof structure and overhanging eaves remained similar throughout the town, providing a common theme without the sameness characteristic of English garden city developments.

A close community spirit developed within the town, in part through enthusiastic usage of the excellent facilities.

Despite an attempted green ban to save the town,[10] by 1983 demolition was complete,[5] the underlying brown coal reserves being used to feed the Yallourn W Power Station.

[14][15] In 1947, Yallourn SC was granted entry into the Men's State League Division 2 in an effort to give the Gippsland region exposure to the highest level of soccer.

[16] Yallourn SC also fielded a local team in the LVSL - which it helped to found - and won league championships in 1964 and 1996, as well as four Battle of Britain Cups (1954, 1964, 1965 and 1966).

The band's frontman Mick Thomas was born in Yallourn and lived there as a child, where his father worked for the SECV.
