YALLOURN DRAW WITH SALE
Last Sunday, in muddy conditions, Yallourn were opposed to Sale, at Sale.
Inspired by last week’s win over St. Patrick’s College, Yallourn played exceptionally well, and drew 1-1,
with the strong Sale combination.
At the commencement of the game, Sale were hard into attack, and scored a quick goal. With the pressure on right through the first term, Yallourn held off many attacks, and due to the splendid back-work, particularly by the goalie, P.Griffiths, Sale could not force any more goals.

Yallourn Navy Cadets was formed early in the 1960’s and shared the Army drill hall near the briquette factory with the CMF Engineers. I believe the unit is still in existence over at Newborough....Ewen

I found these Photos at my Mothers House.

When I was a young apprentice working down the Yallourn Open Cut, I was told the story about this photo. Apparently it was a foggy night late 60's - early 70's, when the Loco on the right stopped for a red light.
The Loco on the left came through and ploughed into the stationary Loco sending its trucks up and over the stationary Loco (Lucky Number 113).
I was told that the emergency trip stop failed on the track and the driver was very lucky not to have been killed as the Electrical Overhead lines are 10,000 volts DC.

My father John Wolff came to Yallourn in 1932. These are some photos he took in the early days of the power station. I remember going with him to the 'boiler room' and the 'control room' where it was much quieter.

Educational needs were recognised as early as 12 February, 1922 when the Yallourn State School No 4085 was opened with 13 pupils. The first school building was a weatherboard cottage at No.4 Hillside. By 1923 enrolment had reached 139 pupils, they came from the Camps and outlying areas, so a move to a new and bigger buildings in Outlook Road was needed. This would become the Secondary School when a new Primary school was opened in 1932, bordering Park Crescent, Banksia Crescent and Fairfield Avenue.
