The last 3 houses standing in Yallourn at the end of 1981 were demolished by using them as a training unit for the National Safety Council of Australia. Could the house with the red roof be 23 Latrobe Avenue? Does anyone recognise the house or the palm tree in the background?

I took this sequence of photographs from the lower side of NARRACAN AVE looking east towards the Open Cut on my way home from the SEC Transformer Repair Workshop (aka The Snake Pit)
It was a National Safety Council of Australia team training exercise as well as a training exercise for the Bell helicopter manufacturer.
The NSCA was to acquire a smaller Bell 205/206 to add to the fleet of 210/212's.
The photographs were taken on Kodak Kadachrome 400 (slides) using a Minolta XG-M with motordrive and a Tamron 80 - 210 zoom.

The 3 photographs were given to Julie George during the 2012 Yallourn reunion at Woorabinda.
Any other photographs I find in the future will be uploaded.
