Power station control room

Melbourne City, Victoria, Australia

1 km distance from Melbourne Town Hall.

Power station control room
.

Although decommissioned in 1982, after 30+ years the contents of this power station control room remain mostly intact and undisturbed. Another area of the building has electrical transformers still in operation, which were installed in the 1950s. The equipment in this room - which includes ammeters, voltmeters, frequency meters, data loggers, and several control switches - is probably of a similar vintage.
