Part 1 was on SBS last night with 2 more episodes to go, hopefully not as packed with ads. Old SMA footage seen multiple times over the years now digitally restored and looking sharp. Even saw some new images. Collis and McHugh interviewed but better to read their books in which Nelson Lemmon- 1949 Labor politician who pushed for the Scheme - is correctly noted as a WA farmer and not from Vic as narrator claims.
Cuts back and forth from SMA era to Snowy 2.0. More on 2.0 would be good in future episodes. This year is 74th anniversary so Oct 17th 2024 is the date to mark in your calendars. Snowy Museum at Adaminaby worth a visit.
