Looking back to Main Office and Power Station construction site from hill side Yallourn North - 1920s

Building bridge over Latrobe River to Brown Coal Mine (now Yallourn North), pile driving - 1925

Brown Coal Mine (now Yallourn North) bridge over Latrobe River, flood level - bridge checking prior to 1934 flood
