Thankyou so much for posting. My wife's grandfather worked on the scheme. Amazing to see what he would have went through. Its an amazing feat of Australian engineering and construction for the time, its just a shame what has happened though to the snowy river.

I was part of this snowy scheme,as a child of parents displaced by war we came to Australia in 1949.lived in migrant camps such as Uranquinty and bathurst and then we moved to jindabyne on the banks of the snowy river in 1950's .if anyone should have photos of old jindabyne or the OLD jindabyne public school would appreciate a copy.
