Yallourn, located in Victoria, Australia (postcode 3825), is a historically significant suburb that was originally established in the 1920s as a company town for workers of the nearby Yallourn Power Station and coal mines. Designed as a model town, it featured well-planned infrastructure, community facilities, and green spaces. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, the town was gradually demolished to make way for coal mining expansion, and residents were relocated to nearby towns like Moe and Morwell. Today, Yallourn exists primarily as a historical memory, with remnants of its past visible in the surrounding Latrobe Valley region, which remains a hub for energy production in Victoria.
