About Yallourn
Yallourn is a locality in the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria, Australia, 126 kilometres (78 mi) east of Melbourne, located within the City of Latrobe local government area. Yallourn was originally a company town, built between 1921 and 1961 to house employees of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV), which operated the nearby Yallourn Power Station complex. However, expansion of the adjacent open-cut brown coal mine led to the closure and removal of the town in the 1980s.
