yep...I lived in the Old Jindabyne town from 1950 to 1956.we actually lived in a migrant camp downstream on the snowy.3kms from Jindabyne.no electricity no toilets no bath no fridge no radio no nothing,not even a floor,we lived in a tent,but we had the best fun ever,fishing for trout,hunting rabbits.exploring the hills and gullys.making canoes,and rafts..ever see the movie 'smiley gets a gun'that was us.our life style..sometimes we even went to school,yes kids came to school on horseback.
Yep there was, they bought everyone out and blew up all the buildings to make way for the snowy mountains hydroelectric power plant dam - see about.nsw.gov.au/view/suburb/Jindabyne/
very cool, just moved to jindy, from the victorian coast. I wondered what vis would be like in lake. What depth did you guys hit? and roughly what part of lake are you in? You've got me keen to go for a dive!
