William Hudson


William Hudson was born in New Zealand.He was born on August 4, 1841 in New Zealand and died in October 15, 1862. He came over in 1948 by boat.  It was very hard to get on a boat to Australia in 1841 because australia was not letting people into the country. Some people tried to swim to Australia but they were never seen again.

He became a cival engineer.His disappointed father said: "Bill, that is about all you are bloody good for."   Commissioner of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority in 1949, the engineer and conservationist built 16 large dams, 145 kilometres of tunnels and seven power stations, transforming inland areas by diverting rivers he told migrant workers: "You aren't any longer Czechs or Germans, you are men of the Snowy."
