ZAGREB/SYDNEY, Oct 10 (Hina) - Croatian construction workers who 50
years ago participated in one of the biggest construction ventures
in Australia, the building of a dam for the Snow Mountain Scheme
power plant, were remembered in a book promoted at the Croatian
Society Sydney in Sydney on Sunday.#L#
'Hrvati Sa Snježnih Planina', or 'Croats From the Snow Mountains',
a book by Drago Saravanja, describes the life and work of Croatian
emigrants, in most part young construction workers, at the
construction site half a century ago. The Croats made 30 percent of
the workers who climbed Snow Mountain.
Saravanja's book was published in both Croatian and English, and is
replete with documents which are bound to excite the interest of
Croats not only in Australia, but in the homeland as well.
