  • Skiing in New South Wales
    SKIING IN NEW SOUTH WALES Located within Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains, NSW’s four snow resorts – Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Selwyn Snow Resort – each has their own style and personality. The resorts have invested heavily in recent years to extend the Winter snow and make sure skiers and boarders have optimal conditions. All-inclusive deals that bundle accommodation with transport, lift passes and equipment hire are a great way to stretch your dollar. The season generally begins on the June long weekend (the second weekend of the month), with loads of fun events planned throughout the weekend. Now is the time to start planning your Winter holiday – all you have to do is decide where to go. PERISHER The largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, Perisher covers more than 12 square kilometres across seven peaks and four distinct resort areas – Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega. It’s great for all ages and abilities with more than 1,200 hectares of skiable terrain, hundreds of runs, 100km of cross country trails, 47 lifts, five terrain parks and two halfpipes. 240 Current as at 8 February 2019 snow cannons ensure there’s a coating of fresh powder for the whole season. The large resort village has lots of places to eat and drink, and other restaurants are spread across the mountains. Once the lifts have closed for the day, there are plenty of welcoming bars and clubs. Enjoy comedy night at the Sundeck Hotel or, for something more refined, you can ski to the piano bar at the Base 1720 Bar and Restaurant or Curve Bar.

Chakola Fire Photos: Keith Howker Just as all the map-reading fun was winding up at training on Sunday, 6 May, the call came to assist Cooma and Bredbo Brigades with a haystack fire that had started around 11 pm at Chakola and burned through the night. It wasn’t the only recent haystack fire. Cooma and Bredbo had dealt with the fire and Michelago members, along with a large excavator, attended to the mopping up with much rake-hoeing to spread the dense, smouldering material, then hosing it. Taking the Cat1 and the command vehicle, all those at training attended: Brent, Keith, Alex, Rob Smith, Kylie, Bronwyn, Abby and Derek. Alex works the rakehoe, a tedious job.

  • Snowy 2.0 Update - Exploratory Works Underway
    6/23/2021 All systems go - latest news from Snowy Hydro Snowy 2.0 update - Exploratory Works underway The Snowy 2.0 Exploratory Works are well underway and there has been plenty of progress on the project. Roads contractor Leed Engineering and Construction has forged ahead with upgrades to Lobs Hole Ravine Road, despite some periods of wild winter weather, and these are due to be completed by the end of the year. A temporary pedestrian bridge is also being installed across Wallace Creek to enable our principal contractor Future Generation access to the exploratory tunnel portal site. When access is completed, the first tunnel construction will get underway with drill and blast methodology. This exploratory tunnel will allow further geological investigations to be carried out at the underground cavern location, with horizontal core hole drilling conducted in-situ. This work is very important as it provides us with information needed to finalise the technical design of the power station cavern, which will be located hundreds of metres below ground. Construction of the first workers’ accommodation camp is due to start in coming months and should be finished early next year. Initially, during the Exploratory Works phase, the accommodation units will be home to around 150 people. Each single bedroom unit will contain an ensuite, bed, desk, television, small refrigerator and reverse-cycle air conditioner. The Exploratory Camp will also have a gym, recreational facilities, dining area and kitchen. Given the project’s location in the Snowy Mountains, all of these buildings are built to withstand up to three metres of snow! Snowy Hydro hosted its latest round of community consultations in July and August, with staff from Future Generation also attending.

The reserve covers an area of 2,924 hectares. Yaouk Nature Reserve protects Candlebark shrubland, a sub-alpine vegetation community which has a very limited distribution, is not well represented in conservation reserves, and is highly vulnerable to drought and frequent fire regimes. It also has abundant bird life, with 25 species recorded to date. The reserve also contains Aboriginal sites of considerable interest given the landscape settings and the elevation at which they were found, and was part of a squatter’s run selected in 1838.

O. FLETcHER. (Graptolite Identifications by 11rs. K. Sherrard, ~r.Sc.) (4 Maps.) The initiation of the Snowy Mountaim Hydro-Electric Authority gave a decided impetus to geological research over an area of some 6,000 square mile3 in southern New South Wales. Following the Authority's request in 1949 for geologic investigation, officers of the Geological Survey of New South Wales have mapped more than 3,000 square miles of this country by detailed reconnaissance standard on a scale of 1 inch = 1 mile. During the course of these surveys an itensive search was made for fossil remains. The information embodied in this report was gained during several visits to the Snowy Mountains with Survey parties in the author's capacity as Honorary Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey of New South Wales. A good deal of the information is included in the Snowy Mountains Reports (unpublished) of the Depart­ ment of Mines. I am indebted to Mrs. Kathleen Sherrard for the g:t:,aptolite identifica­ tions.

Through the personal stories of the workers and their families, and drawing on her book, The Snowy: The People Behind the Power , Siobhan shared her insights into the lives of the multinational workforce that built the ‘Snowy’ in post-war Australia. Siobhan McHugh: It’s lovely to be here. Thank you all very much for coming. I feel a bit humbled because I know some of you have worked on the scheme. I spotted a few on the way in and you’re probably thinking, ‘What does she know about working on the Snowy? I was there.’ But I suppose my job has been the privileged one of gathering the stories and trying to collate them into some unified tapestry that could make sense of what was such an epoch-making scheme for Australia.

  • Engineering Heritage National Landmark
    During clearing operations for a new walking track in Engineering Lambie Gorge, Cooma a historic site was uncovered behind a Heritage blackberry infested rock pile. The site is adjacent to the old Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority’s Scientific Services National laboratories, where rock bolting for support of tunnels and underground caverns was developed by the Authority some 50 Landmark years ago. The rock faces and rock bolt experiments conducted by staff of the Authority at this site can now be seen, still in good Award Ceremony for shape. Rock Bolting The SMA’s development of support of rock and excavations Development Site using rock bolts, not only provided a vastly more economic and comprehensive construction facility, but it also speeded up tunnelling operations; in doing so it revolutionised hard rock tunnelling world-wide. It was realised that this well-preserved site represented an important part of the testing and development of the rock bolts themselves. The site is readily accessible to the public and the whole story of the rock bolting heritage can be told there, whereas the tunnels are mainly out of reach! So because of its heritage significance, the site has been awarded a Engineering EA National President Peter Godfrey Heritage National Landmark. scaling the “Rock Bolt Heights” As part of the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the start of the Snowy Mountains Scheme (now owned by Snowy Hydro Limited), a dedication ceremony was held on 18 October 2009 near the Lambie Gorge site, hosted by the Monaro Group of Engineers Australia.
