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.
