Re Dr Mitchell & Dr Andrew

Jules what a very interesting read, all the unsung heroes that were associated with the beginnings and the legend of Yallourn all those years ago! One always thinks of Sir John Monash's war record and history with Yallourn but Dr Mitchell's was very impressive! (I enjoy reading about the really old stuff!)

Never far from the action… Dr James Moore Andrew (dark suit and without hat) can be seen nearest to Sir John Monash at the official opening of the Yallourn Hospital on 13 January 1929.

THE CASE FOR A DOCTOR IN YALLOURN
Although one of the most important meetings in the history of Yallourn was poorly attended; the consequent resolution adopted, by the workers that night, was of incalculable significance for the people of Yallourn in later years.
The article below, published in August 1923, reports on the attempts of workers at Yallourn to obtain the services of a resident doctor for the town.

1921 - A CHRISTMAS STORY
This newspaper article regarding Christmas celebrations at the Western Camp at Yallourn was published in December 1921. Times were challenging for the workers who lived in the camps and day-to-day living, without any recreational activities to relieve the drudgery of manual labour, must have tested the staying power of most men.
