Save Yallourn Stickers - Memorabilia

Submitted by Julie George on Sat, 23/01/2016 - 11:27

These were printed by the Yallourn Citizens Committee; and the idea was that when you sent a letter through the post, your tore off one of the stickers (perforated) and stuck it onto the envelope. The sticker had an adhesive on the back.

Living at the Married Quarters, Yallourn – Back in the 1950s

OUR HOME IN WATTLE ROAD
When Tom and I were married in 1949, housing in Yallourn was very restricted. Staff personnel were granted first preference, but you could put your name down and wait for a house vacancy to arise. At that same time, there was possible accommodation available at the Married Quarters, also with a waiting list, so we waited and soon we were allotted our house at 11 Wattle Road, Yallourn.
