With a keen interest in the legacy and evolution of engineering practice, Rosie brings a unique perspective shaped by first-hand experiences within facilities formerly dedicated to in-house testing and research. Her appreciation for the historic geotechnical and fluid mechanics labs—once bustling hubs for hands-on experimentation—reflects a genuine passion for understanding how engineering foundations have influenced current practice.

A Tribute to Noel Bruce Carter
Noel Carter, originally from New Zealand, was a mechanical engineer who played a key role in the development of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. After joining in 1951, he was instrumental in designing the hydraulic laboratory and managing the commissioning of major power projects for the SMHEA, later extending his impact internationally through SMEC. In addition to his contributions to hydro-electric engineering across Australia and Asia, Carter is remembered as a valued member of the Cooma-Monaro community and an avid automotive enthusiast.
H1HC are submitting a grant application under Steam 1 of the Federal Government’s Regional Precincts and Partnerships Program. If successful, the proposed repurposing of the SMEC Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at 220-226 Sharp St Cooma will anchor a dynamic precinct which will be known as the Monaro Education Engineering Culture and Arts Precinct (MEECAP).
When the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC) was established in 1970, it operated from within the original…
RENEWAL – SMEC Snowy 2.0 engineer Kevin Golding introduces himself… we see this as renewal/the Snowy scheme story is being re-lived and told again/this is also at the core of the Hydro1 Heritage story – the ‘modern way of doing things’ is in many ways different, nevertheless it’s origins are from the past.
