A 13-part historical TV series from the award-winning producers Simpson Le Mesurier, setting the migrant experience against the dramatic backdrop of one of the world's most ambitious engineering projects — the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme in 1949. The Logan family run a small hotel in the remote township of Cooma, a dusty yet peaceful place to call home. But the building of an enormous dam is about to turn Cooma into a wild new frontier. With the surge of hopeful immigrants, shady hustlers and colourful characters — life will never be quite the same for the Logan family. (13 x 47 min)
