Oasis

| Jun
23, 10:02: |

Karen>
What's happening tonight? |
| Jun
23, 10:09: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> we have got the band
with the roadshow, and we are putting on tea for everyone |
| Jun
23, 10:09: |
Karen>
Sounds like a lot of fun (and a lot of work - who am I talking
to, is that Chelsea? |
| Jun
23, 10:10: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> yep, it is the one and
only me |
| Jun
23, 10:10: |
Karen>
Gee you work long hours!! Did you know who Bongo was? |
| Jun
23, 10:11: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> have no idea but it was
nice to chat to someone |
| Jun
23, 10:13: |
Karen>
It was Adrian! |
| Jun
23, 10:13: |
Karen>
Did you meet Adrian when he & James were in Marree? |
| Jun
23, 10:14: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> i think i did but can't
put a face to the name |
| Jun
23, 10:14: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Adrian! is he the guy
with the pony tail, older bloke |
| Jun
23, 10:14: |
Karen>
You wouldn't forget Adrian's face!! Looks like a bikie! |
| Jun
23, 10:15: |
Karen>
Yep that's him |
| Jun
23, 10:15: |
Karen>
Heart of gold though - he's absolutely loved working on this
project - he looooves road trips to the outback! |
| Jun
23, 10:15: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> yes, maybe I don't have
such a bad memory after all |
| Jun
23, 10:16: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> He was good value, a
great laugh |
| Jun
23, 10:16: |
Karen>
Am I keeping you from working? Technically you're not on for
another 10 or so minutes - don't let me stop you doing what
you're doing! I'll be lurking around all day... |
| Jun
23, 10:17: |
Karen>
It's just really cool to think how far away we are and how easy
this is (now that you & Shirley have put in all the
hard yards)..!! |
| Jun
23, 10:17: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> i haven't actually started
work yet. I'm here because I had to read the weather for
the beareau |
| Jun
23, 10:18: |
Karen>
Is that to check road conditions? |
| Jun
23, 10:18: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> no, it's with the national
weather system |
| Jun
23, 10:19: |
Karen>
Do you do that every day? |
| Jun
23, 10:20: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> only when Shirley's not
here. Can i keep this computer when all this has finished |
| Jun
23, 10:21: |
Karen>
Technically the Centenary own the computer - they need to make
that decision. We've explained to them that at the rate
computers depreciate, it won't be worth bringing it back...
(read - we hope you can keep it!! ) |
| Jun
23, 10:21: |
Karen>
I reckon you've worked hard enough that you should've earnt
it!! |
| Jun
23, 10:21: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> I hope so too. It's been
a great learning experience. Brad the pilot says hello |
| Jun
23, 10:22: |
Karen>
Say hello back to Brad the pilot - he's famous, you know, talking
about the Marree man on the website! |
| Jun
23, 10:22: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Sshhh It'll go to his
head it's big enough already |
| Jun
23, 10:23: |
Karen>
Are the lights out in the Cafe? It looks kinda dark on the webcam
at the moment - can see the light through the door &
window - everytime someone blocks the light from the door
it comes up really clear and I can see you at the computer
(sunnies on head by the look of it? ) |
| Jun
23, 10:23: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Hio K, its not that big
really but i say that to all the girls!!! |
| Jun
23, 10:24: |
Karen>
Can see the silhouette of a guy with a cap on... |
| Jun
23, 10:24: |
Karen>
Brad - we've got pilots working for us in one of our other companies
- I know what you guys are like!!! |
| Jun
23, 10:24: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> in the place where they
live of course. no the sunlight tends to dim the camera
a little. the guy with the cap is bluedog |
| Jun
23, 10:25: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> have you got the webcam
on screen at the same time? How do you do that? |
| Jun
23, 10:25: |
Karen>
When that fella was standing behind you before, he blocked the
light from the door and I had a really clear view of both
of you sitting down at the computer! |
| Jun
23, 10:26: |
Karen>
I've got it running at the same time and while I wait for you
to write something I switch to it using the task bar along
the bottom |
| Jun
23, 10:27: |
Karen>
Chelsea you'll have to put on some more weight to block the
light in through that door!! |
| Jun
23, 10:27: |
Karen>
If you slide the stand across a little it would block it - not
sure if that would be an Oc Health & Safety hazard though!!! |
| Jun
23, 10:28: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> thankyou. I've gotta
duck off for a sec so I'll leave you with brad |
| Jun
23, 10:28: |
Karen>
So... just you & me, huh? |
| Jun
23, 10:29: |

this website you,ve done a great job. Little town in Auckland
called Papatoetoe, but mums an Aussy dads a Kiwi. |
| Jun
23, 10:42: |
Karen>
We started out in Auckland - spent Christmas Eve at Planet Hollywood
- we did a Contiki Tour for 15 days, we did quite a bit
of travelling |
| Jun

23, 10:45: |
Karen>
I'd like to do a big tour of Australia - always had a dream
that I'd buy a good van or wagon and drive around for a
year. Still want to do it but need to set up the business
I own with my hubby properly first so it can take care of
itself! |
| Jun
23, 10:45: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Shes out doing the 10am
weather |
| Jun
23, 10:46: |
Karen>
It's okay, it's not a good pic - camera is across the other
side of the room and the cord is stretched as far as it
can go! |
| Jun
23, 10:46: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Where did you travel
in NZ? |
| Jun
23, 10:48: |
Karen>
Started in Auckland, went up to Bay of Islands (Paihia) back
down to to Rotorua, then Wellington, then across and down
to Christchurch, to Milford Sound, Queenstown & back
up to Christchurch pretty much! After that we visited friends
in Dunedin for 2 days then spent the last 5 days back up
on the north island in Ngawi which is right down the bottom,
Cape Palliser. THAT was awesome - a little fishing village! |
| Jun
23, 10:48: |
Karen>
I can type fast, can't I? |
| Jun
23, 10:49: |
Karen>
We had a fantastic time - it was a perfect honeymoon, I still
get all misty eyed when I think about it!! |
| Jun
23, 10:49: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Aus is an amazing place
once you start travelling you can,t stop, seen probably
more of AUS than most Aussys. Bay of Islands is beatifull,
good fishng too |
| Jun
23, 10:51: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> need to get up to speed
on my computer and typing skills there lacking!! |
| Jun
23, 10:51: |
Karen>
Bay of Islands was a great place to start - wind down after
a VERY hectic year, job-wise, business-wise, work-wise,
wedding-wise it was huge!! But I do need to do a tour of
Australia, especially after working on this project - I've
learnt so much, it's been amazing!! |
| Jun
23, 10:51: |
Karen>
You're doing great, Brad - better than I'd do flying a plane!! |
| Jun
23, 10:51: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Have you done much travelling
in Aus? |
| Jun
23, 10:52: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Had a ;little more training
on those planes than this !!!!! |
| Jun
23, 10:52: |
Karen>
Not really - been to Melbourne a few times, worked in Sydney
for 3 weeks, did a trip across in the car with my parents
also, about 15 years ago. Going to the Gold Coast in a few
weeks for a 'conference' wink wink nudge nudge... |
| Jun
23, 10:53: |
Karen>
Pretty pathetic, huh? |
| Jun
23, 10:53: |
Karen>
Been to Port Augusta, Whyalla - family is originally from Peterborough... |
| Jun
23, 10:53: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Flying is the easy bit
,impressing customers and making their experience something
to remember is a little more work. |
| Jun
23, 10:55: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Work always puts a dampner
on travel, it,s a question of prioritys i guess.? |
| Jun
23, 10:55: |
Karen>
So are you one of these 'free spirit' kind of people? |
| Jun
23, 10:56: |
Oasis
Cafe, Marree> Heading to Waikerie after
this for a bird scaring contract for a couple of months.Yeh

I know they had a bit of trouble getting the webcam in at the
pub so we switched to the Cafe - then there was controversy
with the phone bill - but looks like it all worked out okay
