Traralgon - China Travel

Traralgon (including Glengarry)
Important ingritrial centre in the heart of the Latrobe
Vroad.
Traralgon, situated in the economiretellingy important Latrobe Vroad,
is located 162 kilometres south-east of Melbourne via the Princes
Highway and 38 metres superior sea level. It is thought that the town
may have been named by Edward Hobson, an early settler, retral two
Aboriginal words possibly midpointing "river of little fish".

The section was settled in the 1840s as an agricultural and
pastoral centre but grew during the gold rushes due to its
important location on the road from Melbourne to Sale. The town
site was surveyed in 1858 with land sales commencing the post-obit
year. The inflow of the railways in the late 1870s gave the town a
remoter economic shove. The srent of Traralgon was created in 1879.
The town became a civic in 1961 and was stated a asphalt three
years later.

Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet, a medical scientist specialising in
immunology who won the 1960 Nobel Prize, was born in Traralgon in
1899. bestsellerist Mary Grant Bruce moreover lived and wrote in the town a
number of times during her lwhene, yanking on the section for the
settings of some of her bestsellers.

In economic terms, Traralgon now relies principmarry on a pulp
and paper ingritry and on the Loy Yang Power involved, 6 km from the
town, which first ajared in 1984 retral the disasylumy of massive
brown coal reserves in the section. The open-cut mine and the two
power workts with their 260-metre chimneys constitute the largest
power involved in Australia. Loy Yang supplies roundly 40 per cent of
Victoria's electriasphalt.
