Synopsis

edit

Snowy was set around the project to build the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme in 1949. The Logan family run a small hotel in the remote and peaceful township of Cooma. The building of the Snowy project turns the Snowy Mountains region into a wild new frontier with the surge of hopeful immigrants, shady hustlers and colourful characters.[1]
