Historic underground substation on show

摘要

On 19 July an initiative by the Committee for Melbourne, called Melbourne Open House, provided Melbour-nians with the opportunity to take guided tours of 32 interesting buildings in the city. The program attracted 50,000 visitors. One of the sites in the program was CitiPower's Russell Place Zone Substation, an underground substation with an electricity supply history going back to the beginnings of public electricity supply in 1882.rnAbout 800 people visited the substation and many waited for hours as small groups were given 20 minute tours of the installation.
