Migrants from over 30 nations arrived to construct the Snowy Mountain Hydroelectric Scheme. According to this clip from the Australian National Film Board title Alpine Way, migrants work in the winter resorts, work as skiing instructors and provide musical entertainment too!
The Alpine Way is also a road in the Snowy Mountain regions of Australia, beginning at Jindabyne and going past Thredbo and crossing the Great Dividing Range.
This clip includes footage of skiing and the chairlift at Thredbo Alpine Village.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
