This state-of-the-art visitor facility showcases the amazing story of the Snowy Mountains Scheme from the early construction days, to the role the Scheme plays today in the continuing development and growth of Australia.
The Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre houses a comprehensive exhibition hall that includes an extensive photographic collection, models, hands-on exhibits and interactive displays, which focus on aspects such as engineering, environment, the National Electricity Market, history, water management and power generation. Have a go on the “power bikes” and see how much energy you can generate. Is it enough to power a TV or even boil the kettle? See what the Scheme is doing today, where the water is flowing and where our electricity is being sent, all in real time.
The centre has two theatres, which show a variety of short films about the Scheme throughout the day.
