For 88-year-old Dieter Amelung, reminiscing on his career with the Snowy Hydro electricity scheme is an honour.
“I'm very proud to be part of it ... I tell everybody about the Snowy and I think my family's very proud of that too,” he tells SBS News.
Mr Amelung migrated to Australia from East Germany in 1953.
“I lived through the war, that was tough enough with the bombing and so on. But after the war it was probably the worst time of my life,” he said.
