Outside the NSW Con in June 1934. But why?! GoogleMapsStreetView

Too easy with a Trove search for "snow plough kosciusko". Several illustrated articles (with the Con in the background) for a new vehicle which could get passengers and goods up to the chalet in mid-winter. Owned by the NSW Tourist Bureau. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/81696623 trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64286335 The two gentlemen are likely to be the Hon F.A. Chaffey, Chief Secretary, and Mr H.J. Lamble, Director of NSW Tourist Bureau

Not sure if that is Frank Augustus Chaffey, aged 44, on the right? adb.anu.edu.au/biography/chaffey-frank-augustus-5543

beachcomber australia Thank you for those links and great spotting beachcomber! I think you're right, it does look like the man to the right is Frank Chaffey. See also: www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/7834527766/in/photo... www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/7834533548/in/photo...

Amused to see the truck is called "WALTER" - I googled it and absolutely astonished to find a "c. 1935" Walter Snow Fighter in a company contemporary promotional movie on YouTube!! See this machine in action - youtu.be/OW8iCvnKWXg, and Part 2 - youtu.be/CyFxkVefcsE

"The name of the mountain was formerly spelled "Mount Kosciusko," an Anglicisation; but the version "Mount Kosciuszko" was officially adopted in 1997 by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales." --Wikipedia Size Does Matter! "Various measurements of the peak originally called by that name showed it to be slightly lower than its neighbour, Mount Townsend, and the names were thereupon transposed by the New South Wales Lands Department, so that Mount Kosciuszko still remains the name of the highest peak of Australia, and Mount Townsend ranks as second." -- Year Book Australia, 1910
