Clip description
The process by which Island Bend Dam, on the eastern side of the Snowy-Murray Development, was built is shown step by step.
Curator’s notes
Shot over the construction period of Island Bend Dam in the Snowy Mountains Scheme, between 1954 and 1965, the segment demonstrates how river flow is controlled during dam construction and the steps in building a concrete gravity dam. Methods used to counter the problems of access, altitude and temperature are illustrated.
