Publisher's Summary

In a time when desperate people were seizing with both hands the chance for freedom, refugees from more than seventy nations gathered beneath the Southern Cross to forge a new national identity. They came from all over wartorn Europe to the mountains of Australia to help realise one man's dream: the mighty Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century. People of all races and creeds tunnelled through a mountain range to turn the course of a majestic river, trying to put to rest ghosts from the inferno of history: buried memories, unimaginable pain and deadly secrets. From the ruins of Berlin to the birth of Israel, from the Italian Alps to the Australian high country, Heritage is a passionate and fast-paced tale of rebirth, struggle, sacrifice and redemption and a tribute to those who gave meaning to the Australian spirit.

Amazing!

Has taken me a while to get to this one (since I started a Judy Nunn binge), was a little unsure, oh man had I been missing out! The story takes the listener through several (some horrific) tales of characters experiences through WW2, bringing the character to the Snowy scheme, all the while the amazing story ensues. Narration was fantastic, Irish characters accent was a little off, (though much better than some Aussie narrators!) but all else was hard to fault. Well worth a listen!

Great to remember home.

Thoroughly enjoyed Heritage.
Having been born in Cooma, there were many references to which I could relate. Unfortunately, one major error of reference was the pronunciation of Monaro. It was always pronounced MONAIRO, until 1968, GMH released the vehicle namesake with the more English tone than that of GM’s American Camaro. Bit of a shame really. Great read though.

Australia’s Heritage…The Snowy

I originally bought this title because my Parents worked on the Snowy before I was born. Judy Nunn has done her usual exceptional job big authorship.
