About Loy Yang
Loy Yang is a rural locality in the Latrobe Valley of Victoria, on the outskirts of the city of Traralgon. The name 'Loy Yang' is an Aboriginal name meaning 'big eel', first used for the stock run established by James Rintoul in the 1840s where Sheepwash Creek meets the Latrobe River. The locality now holds the Loy Yang Power Station and its adjoining open-cut brown coal mine, Victoria's largest brown coal mine.
