In the mid 70’s Mrs. Brogan in No. 2 won the prize for the best garden in Yallourn and we, in No 1, won the 3rd prize. So the entry into the street from Coach Road was very pretty.
Mr. Dell the Grade 6 teacher from the Primary school, lived in this street also.

Briquette Factory Explosion

1953 was my first year at School. The most vivid memory I of have of that year (apart from the vague recollections of my first year at St Therese’s) was the walk home from school on Friday 27th of March 1953 (I needed the help of the Internet to find the date – ironic as in 1953 I was using a slate and slate pencil for school work).

This is a story that has been waiting to be written. It is the story of one of Yallourn and Gippsland’s best-ever swimmers ~ Lois Gust. It is hoped that the story will not only shed some light on the wonderful contribution that Lois and her family made to Yallourn but perhaps the story may also give further insight into the people and times of the Yallourn swimming, athletic and hockey clubs.
