ON MOUNT KOSCIUSKO—In winter time the Guthega Dam, which straddles the Snowy river on the eastern slopes of Mount Kosciusko, is almost obscured by snow. First of the Snowy river projects, the Guthega power station began generating power in February, 1955. The illustration on the right shows the Tumut pond dam, one of the major works of the Snowy river project. It was completed in September, 1958. The dam is a concrete arch structure 283 ft high and 670 ft long at the crest, with a thickness varying from 80ft at the base to 14ft at the crest.
