Yallourn dans les années 1950.

Yallourn était un ancien village qui avait été construit dans les années 1950 pour loger le personnel de la centrale électrique de Yallourn dans la région du Gippsland, à l'est de l'État de Victoria en Australie.

Construit dans la région des tourbières qui alimentent la centrale électrique, le village a été rasé dans les années 1980 pour exploiter la tourbe.

C'est le village natal de l'ancien coureur cycliste Gary Wiggins.
