Morwell

Built around a railway station on the Gippsland line, Morwell grew into a centre of the Latrobe Valley’s brown-coal and power-generating industry. The town lies north of the Strzelecki Ranges and close to the Morwell River, in a district shaped by energy production, farming and transport links between Melbourne and eastern Gippsland. The former Hazelwood Power Station and its open-cut mine remain central to the local story: the station closed in 2017, while rehabilitation of the mine continues. South of town, Morwell National Park protects native forest on the ranges. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Latrobe Valley.
