The Snowy: A History tells the extraordinary story of the mostly migrant workforce who built one of the world's engineering marvels.
The Snowy Scheme was an extraordinary engineering feat carried out over twenty-five years from 1949 to 1974 - one that drove rivers through tunnels built through the Australian Alps, irrigated the dry inland and generated energy for the densely populated east coast.
It was also a site of post-war social engineering that helped create a diverse multicultural nation.
