  • 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.

  • Mt Kosciuszko”
    The known and less familiar history of the naming of “Mt Kosciuszko” Andrzej S. Kozek1 The highest peak on the continental Australia bears the name “Mt Kosciuszko” and we know this from our time in primary school. We as well remember that it was discovered and named by the Polish traveller and explorer, Paul Edmund de Strzelecki. Polish people consider it a magnificent monument to Tadeusz Kosciuszko. However, the history of its naming along with many related controversies are less familiar and lead to dissemination of incorrect information both in Poland and in Australia. Hence, to fill the gap, it is necessary to gather the facts in one publication equipped with references to the relevant historical resources. Key terms: Mt Kosciuszko, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Kosciuszko's Will, Paul Edmund Strzelecki, Strzelecki, Australia, Aborigines, equality under the law, freedom, democracy. Macarthur and Strzelecki’s Expedition Paul Edmund Strzelecki (1797-1873) arrived in Australia in April 1839, as one of four passengers on the merchant ship Justine carrying potatoes and barley [P1, p. 57]. Half a century had already passed since the British flotilla under the command of Governor Arthur Phillip had landed in Australia on the shores of the Bay, which he named Sydney Harbour, and nearly 70 years since James Cook assimilated Australia into the British Empire. Strzelecki was a passionate of geology, a new discipline at the time, dealing with minerals and the wealth of the earth, and he was an expert in this field. His set goal for visiting Australia was to study Australia’s geology, or at least that of it’s eastern part, which no one had yet done systematically.

Callouts 1. 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.
