I spent 3yrs as the electrical engineer on the Construction of the Dam 1982-4.Had brilliant memories.There is a lot of electrical work that is sight unseen like a substation beneath the road .Also the underground irrigation in the picnic area has kms of wires. I have a photo of all of us "christening the first electric BBQ. Great job. great people to work with the likes of Jim M, Charlie C, and in the Office Cliff, Ted,and Artur..
