Two pale green steel covers angle upward from the concrete floor, flanking a narrow central aisle. Behind them, heavy roller machinery sits locked in place, blackened with grease and coal dust. Pipework and yellow-railed gantries crowd the ceiling. Light enters from a doorway at the far end of the corridor, catching the grime on every surface. The floor is worn smooth, stained dark.
Morwell Power Station operated from 1958 to 2014, burning brown coal from the Latrobe Valley's open-cut mines to generate electricity for Victoria. The briquette presses compressed raw lignite into fuel blocks at high temperature. The station closed after 56 years of continuous operation.
