Ted Egan takes up the Snowy Mountains story a hundred years after Australia’s favourite poet Banjo Paterson immortalised a young mountain horseman in his epic poem “The Man From Snowy River”. Ted Egan’s film is the most comprehensive story ever made in The Snowy Mountains. It features the pioneering development and lifestyle of the mountain’s people, including the historic construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme. Filmed over the four seasons, the story also includes an aerial kaleidoscope of the high country from spring to winter with spectacular displays of wild flowers and fragile alpine wilderness.
