“Aye, I worked on Snowy once…” That’s how it starts. What follows is the story of a Yorkshire lad who leaves Barnsley behind and finds himself drilling into mountains, arguing with concrete, and building more than he ever meant to. From the roaring tunnels of the Snowy Mountains Scheme to the red dirt blocks of early Canberra, this is a tale told plain — about hard graft, big risks, dry humour, and the moment a man realises he’s no longer visiting. He belongs. A Yorkshire lad tells it how he says it.Michael Holding

    Thousands of men came to the snowy mountains. Some never forgot it, and some stayed forever.

    I was just a lad from Yorkshire, with not much to me name but a suitcase and a stubborn streak.

    39 days at sea, packed in with hundreds of blokes chasing the same dream.

    Australia, they called it, land of sunshine and plenty of work. But the work were not by the beach.

    It were up in the mountains. The snowy mountains scheme. The biggest engineering job in all

    Australia. We worked underground, driving tunnels through rock that had been there since time began.

    Dust in your lungs, drills screaming all day long. One wrong move, and the mountain could

    bury the alive. But there were good men beside thee. Men who had thy back when things went wrong.

    Men from every corner of the world. Italians, Greeks, Irish, Aussies, and one stubborn Yorkshire

    lad. After the shift, we would head down to Kuma. For a drink and a laugh together. We came as

    strangers. But we built something bigger than any one of us. I worked on snowy ones. And by

    heck, it were a life worth telling. I worked on snowy ones. Yorkshire lad tells it how he says it.
