National Archives of Australia is highlighting 60 years of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. Today, 60 years after the first blast, the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme is recognised as one of the most incredible achievements in Australia – not only an engineering and construction marvel but a project that brought thousands of migrants to our shores.
