Sue lived in Yallourn North and started YHS in 1966. After we were married, we had to fight Jim Balfour, Housing Minister, to get to rent this house as we weren't SEC people. We had the Hairdresser shop next to Slade's Bakery. Made many friends (still today). Our first Christmas married - children born while there and 21st birthday. It snowed, heavily. Survived the damp and coal dust. Living in a town so many people have 'special ties' to. Yallourn has many memories. It was unique. We are lucky to have been a part of history that is in print for people to remember and feel connected by.
