Cover subtitle: A historical and pictorial record of the functions, life and people of the "deceased' town. Includes bibliographical references and index.

INTRODUCTION:
The township of Yallourn was built in 1921 by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria to accommodate those engaged in winning brown coal, building power stations and allied projects. It was situated near the works so that its menfolk could walk to work. It sat, therefore, atop the coal bed. This caused no concern during the growth years of the town and its heyday in the fifties. But, in 1961 townspeople were told by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria that the town would have to be moved eventually in order to mine the coal beneath it. This was confirmed in 1969. After much agitation a Parliamentary Public Works Committee was set up to enquire into the correctness of the SEC decision. In May 1971 the Committee handed down its answer and today the town no longer exists. The buildings and inhabitants of this first significant, planned, company town to be built in Australia have scattered throughout the land. This is an attempt to record something of an important part of the National Estate before it is forgotten, that Yallourn was.
