It was well known around the Tasmanian circles that the biggest single order given in the 60's for supply of Land Rovers, was made by The Tasmanian Hydro Electric Commission and that order exceeded the numbers ordered by the Commonwealth Department of Defence.

Wow. Great photos from all of you. Where have they been hiding all these years.

All but one of mine come from the National Archives, in about 2006 I searched thousands of images on the Snowy Scheme up to the end of the 1950s and this is a selection of the ones I retained. There are others where I not convinced the dot in the background is a land rover. Do you want more?

There is still one image I want to find. It is an image of two tunnels joining in one cavern. On two levels you can see Series 1 landies.

BTW did you notice the two tickfords in the Engineers Conference and campsite images?

I saw one Tickford in the distance. I will go back and look for the other
Makes one wonder what happened to the half dozen Tickfords from the Snowy Scheme
If you have the time to post more photos I am sure we will all appreciate them.
