Ep 41 Snowy Hydro Scheme - Pt 4 - Working environments&safety: Australian History - a podcast by Australian History retold by AHP

Today we turn our attention the workers' arrangements.  At the peak of construction, over 1959/60, there were 7300 people employed on the project.  So that’s a lot of people to keep fed & watered, and entertained. 

But it was hard and sometimes dangerous work, so we consider some of the human costs on the project too.
