That's my grandfather on the double bass :) Been researching the Snowys the last three years, online, from his photo albums, and Snowy/Kozsciusko visits and NLA for a project but to see him in motion at age 28 is something else.
I went on a school trip to see this scheme in the early 70's we were told it was only running at 50% to keep the price of electricity high, i wonder if it's still the same?
great video...so sad that our useless Govt. has sold this to Singapore Govt!! cannot believe it.... Control of one of Australia's most iconic companies, Snowy Mountain Engineering Corporation, is to go offshore, to an arm of the Singapore government, in a $400 million deal August 2016

not many Australians know about operation matchbox. thanks to the ministry of truth. look at julia gillard and leigh sales for example.
I know for a fact that some of the control room equipment is still the same from when it was commissioned..
Built to last.

What?! Snow in Australia?!
Yes we get snow here too! A land of contrast.
Indeed. I would think that because most of Australia is desert, I wouldn't imagine that that there'd be any snow, even during your winter months.
Well one day there probably wont be.
Sadly, I'm told there might not be snow here in the USA. Those who ski will no doubt have to find other means of skiing. :'(
They can always go to Dubai and ski indoors....
흰 눈이다.
아이고.
세상사 나쁘게 생각하면 괴로움 느끼기 나름이지요. 나는 좋은데요.
