When Ron McLachlan’s father returned from the war in the 1940’s, housing was in short supply around Albury. The family made the best of life in a crowded RSL camp on the Murray River for several years, before moving to the Hume Dam workers camp to work on the installation of the Hydro-electric system under the dam wall.

Ron recollects his adventures as a boy around the Waterworks and what is now the Lake Hume Village.
