Where was the Man from Snowy River filmed?
The film "The Man from Snowy River" was based loosely on the A.B. (Banjo) Paterson poem of the same name. It was filmed in the Snowy Mountains, which is a broad and undefined area of the Australian Alps, part of the Great Dividing Range that crosses through the eastern part of Victoria, the southernmost mainland state of Australia. The specific area of the Victorian high country in which much of the movie was filmed is Merrijig and the area around Mt Buller.

How has the Snowy Mountains Scheme changed Australia?
The Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme brought significant changes to Australia. It was not built simply to stop power failures, as some have suggested. The purpose of the scheme was to harness the massive power of the melting snow for the purposes of providing hydro-electricity, whilst at the same time storing water that could be used for towns, farming and irrigation. Instead of just having the water flowing into the Snowy River and eventually out to sea, the scheme aimed to actively use the water efficiently. Economically, the scheme was and is important for several reasons. It provided work for tens of thousands of people at a time when unemployment was high. Started in 1949 the post-war period, it attracted migrants from all over the world, who helped contribute to the rich multiculturalism of Australia. It continues to supply necessary water to the farming industries of inland New South Wales and Victoria. The power stations of the Snowy Mountains Scheme also provide up to ten per cent of the electricity requirements for the entire state of New South Wales. The scheme used sophisticated technology for its time, and this alone gave Australia greater status in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Why is the sky blue and not black like space?
1. Outer space contains virtually no gas/dust to scatter light. Outer space is black. 2. The sky is blue because that's the colour of air (mostly nitrogen), which is not totally colourless. You can see this effect looking at distant (10 km-plus) mountains. They have a blue tinge (caused by the intervening air between you and the mountains) known as atmospheric perspective. 3. If the sky's colour was due reflection from the oceans, then it would be white above Antarctica, which is snowy white. 4. If the ocean was blue because it reflects the sky, why does it still look blue-ish when under a totally clouded-over sky? The ocean is blue for the same reason the sky is blue: the sky is blue 'cause that's the colour of air, the sea is blue 'cause that's the colour of water.
How was the Blue Ridge Mountains formed?
hot magma was forced out from the ground and cooled down.the same way stone mountain was formed.

Why does copper pipe in Australia have a blue line on it?
