The western sky is ablaze with colour as the sun sets over the hills behind Jindabyne.
The construction of a major dam in 1967 on the Snowy River forced the relocation of this tiny hamlet to higher ground. It now sits above Lake Jindabyne whose waters, collected from the Snowy, Thredbo and Eucumbene Rivers, are pumped to feed the Murray 1 and 2 hydro power stations. Lake Jindabyne forms part of the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme in the south eastern corner of New South Wales, just north of the Victorian border.
