Does Anyone know anything about this Yallourn Signage up near the reservoir somewhere? What was it for? It was obviously meant to be seen from the air. Why was it there? When was it put in? I had heard a rumor it was installed during the war to try and confuse potential bomb droppers but I'm not sure how much truth there is in this.

When I was little, mum would have my sister in the pram, we would get on the bus to Yallourn, walk over to the wading pool if it was hot and then go to the bakery and mum would buy us lunch and we would sit at the park opposite the Yallourn Medical Centre under a tree. Mum would later finish her shopping and home again on the bus. To me this was heaven....Ray Lovison

Bill is 2nd from right with the trombone - he was a very talented musician. The fact that he played in the band helped him to get a job with the SEC when so many were unemployed. He said that all the young men used to hang around at the gates every day waiting for someone to come out and give them a job. He was the bread winner and desparate for work...Ann Dinsdale
