"The Rise and Fall of a Working Class Region"
Meredith Fletcher (Director of Centre for Gippsland Studies) talks about
her new book 'Digging People Up for Coal: A History of Yallourn'.
Designed in the 1920s as a garden town laid out on 'hygienic and aesthetic
principles', it became a quintessential working-class community, centered
around the SEC. But by the 1960s, the decline of the industry threatened
Yallourn's very existence and sparked a long and bitter fightback.
