Looks like I will pack my copy of the James Cook biography next time I visit!

no, the building with the magnificent columns (built in 1922) is real, it was many things in the past, including the main drafting office in the latrobe valley. it is a mens shed now amongst other things, see https://www.nm.org.au/ and it has a colourfull history since SECV sold it as the old yallourn power stations A to E were demolished. the other building you have supplied a picture of is the previous Yallourn Electrical Tests building, it is about 300m to the west. i worked in there for a year ~1977.

Oh this is fascinating! Why did they use AI slop to generate the image?

Also very interesting that this building predates most of Yallourn township!

I think this deserves an article on its own…

Not a public service announcement.

The fault, who is now a cooked dead ape, is not what the protection systems are designed to keep alive.

For the avoidance of doubt system protection schemes are designed to isolate the cooked dead ape and thereby limit damage to the wires and equipment from overloading.

This is no more apparent than in SWER systems where the earth wire is part of the load circuit.

I probably wouldn't have been able to answer the question "What was Endeavour's previous use?" but when I read that it was a collier it definitely rung a bell as something I think I once knew.
