註釋Meet refugees from war-torn Europe and the Thai-born 'mayoress' of Cabramurra. Ten diverse stories about finding peace, opportunity, beauty, lifelong friendships and true love. The last of their generation, the ten storytellers share their memories and personal photos of their role in the iconic Snowy Scheme. "Snowy: Stories from former workers and families of the Snowy Mountains Scheme" is a collection of ten stories of seven ex-workers, two lifelong employees and a child of a Snowy worker that tells their stories of courage, resilience and adventure. Each offers a unique perspective on what life was like building the Scheme between 1949 and 1974 and then working for Snowy Hydro. These ten former workers and family members overcame significant personal hardships as well as the engineering and construction challenges to build one of the greatest and most complex hydro power systems in the world. Sponsored by Snowy Hydro and completed in partnership between Woden Community Service, Jenni Savigny from Gen S Stories, PhotoAccess and the National Archives of Australia, this collection of digital stories was donated to the ACT Heritage Library in July 2020.
