After World War 2 a large portion of the European and surrounding population was displaced and probably fed up with being invaded and blown up.Australia opened its doors for these people to start anew and to help repopulate its own decimated population.What actually occurred was that the government set up the Snowy River scheme to provide employment for this influx of migrants so in fact the people didn't come from overseas to work on the Snowy River scheme but the scheme was set up to provide work for the people from overseas.Besides which us Aussies would have complained too much about the harsh conditions.
