I can fill you in on the problems of the Snowy River.  The scheme was the 
fulfillment of dreams to divert the short, swiftly flowing streams east 
of the Great Divide to water the arid inland and, at the same time, 
generate a large amount of hydro-electric power.  The scheme was 
supported by the Commonwealth and the States of NSW, Victoria and South 
Australia.  The protests of the relatively few people who live in East 
Gippsland, and more specifically in the catchment of the Snowy River, got 
little sympathy.  The only concession was a clause in the agreement that 
the Victorian Government would accept responsibility for any 
deterioration in the lower reaches.  Successive governments have 
plundered Gippsland's resources and this is just one case which has 
received brief notice but which will fade into oblivion again.
