This short movie tells the story of Romolo Fubelli and his journey of immigration to Australia and his life on the Snowy Mountains Scheme. This story is not an uncommon one as this was the typical migrant journey for those who found work on the the scheme.
Life on the Snowy was tough with primitive and cramped barracks for the workers to live; physically demanding, dangerous and especially dirty jobs - to quote the snowy mountains song (played throughout movie) "Sometimes you're up to your eyeballs in mud!" -
