Morwell has become a decaying corpse of what was once a nice town. I grew up and lived there until i was 21 and then got my freedom ticket by joining the army in 1985. initially i would return to visit my parents every year or so and after each successive year i could see the town in decline, more and more shops would be closed with plywood covering where windows once had been and graffiti adorning many areas of the town. The death knell of Morwell was well and truly sounded when the State government developed a new found enviromental conscience and decided that coal fired power stations were so mid 20th century! with the privatisation of the power production facilities and their eventual closure the vast majority of Morwells inhabitants who had any form of marketable skills saw the writing on the wall and left for greener pastures. The last time i was in Morwell was in 2018 and the rot had well and truly set in, with rampant unemployment evident and seedy looking characters milling around "mad valley" shopping center. Apparently power generation has been replaced with methamphetamine as the new growth industry in town, bringing with it all that that entails. As for housing being affordable i suggest that that's as a result of the place being a ghetto with no redeemable features in fact i'm surprised that people aren't being offered free housing to move there! All i can say to anyone contemplating moving to Morwell is to avoid it like the plague, it's a racist drug riddled red neck hole that is dying a somewhat unnatural death.
