I found this photo of a typical Yallourn house. It's identical to the one that used to be at 8 Maryvale Rd, Yallourn.

Monash Square late 80s

In the foreground is No 1 Oval , next No2. then 3 and 4.

No1 had the” famous“ picket fence around it, No 2 had a bike racing track around it past those cypress trees or whatever, No 3 and 4 ovals.

No1 and 2 primarily for footy and cricket and 3 and 4 were used for cricket in summer and soccer in winter. That’s how it went in the 50’s and 60’s anyway. Actually, this is a great photo and you can clearly see the cricket pitches in the middle of No 1 and No 2 ovals.

What is missing in picture B. Can you spot the difference?

Original Methodist Church - 1920s

53 Banksia St - one of the last houses to go we think. It was occupied by Annie Boag (grandmother to Frank, Christine & Terry Widdows)

Looking down Coach Rd - Strzelecki Rd has gone off to the right out of photo shot. Westbrook Rd going on right and Moondarra Place going to the left.

This is the corner of Maryvale Road and Outlook Road. Maryvale ran along the bottom of the High School. Kerrs lived in the house on the left and behind them was the Police station.

this is a big file (3meg)

Dr Andrew did not live in this house, but it holds his collection there at Old Gippstown

1926 saw the Post Office and State Savings Bank opened for business, they occupied corresponding sites on opposite sides of the town square and were complementary in design. They were double-storied, the upper stories were residences for the bank manager and postmaster. Prior to the opening of the town post office postal facilities had operated at Eastern and Western Camps. The Yallourn Post Office closed for business on 31/1/1980.
