| Jun
24, 14:50: |
bushwhacker>
And so are all of the friendly and outgoing staff of the humble
establishment. It has taught us all a thing or to and it
is amazing to think that when i'm mopping the floor that
i am being transmitted world wide. It's like our own personal
big brother without the voting out |
| Jun
24, 14:50: |
Karen>
They had a bit of difficulty setting it up in the pub so the
Cafe offered to host it |

an alternative lifestyle? |
| Jun
24, 14:53: |
bushwhacker>
yep only me to tell you what it's like working in front of the
camera all day every day. it really makes you wonder about
what the world thinks if they log on after you've had a
really heavy night |
| Jun
24, 14:53: |
shane>

the cam is not set up |
| Jun
24, 14:54: |
shane>

| Jun
24, 14:55: |
Karen>
Yes, it's been so disappointing from Telstra's end with the
satellite... still, they did get one in Iga Warta, so I'm
sure it's only a matter of time - we really wanted it and
we hassled them heaps!! |
| Jun
24, 14:55: |
shane>

| Jun
24, 14:55: |
bushwhacker>
it's craziness in marree it's nothing to come to work with little
or no sleep and still have to get throught he long hard
days |
| Jun
24, 14:55: |
Karen>
Is there a good pool table in the WC Hotel? |
| Jun
24, 14:55: |
Bongo>
even without the cam ... the site has had millions of hits and
people have taken virtual tours of the inside of William
Creek hotel, as well as other VR's along the route .. |

lisa>

roadshow then heads north... |
| Jun
24, 15:17: |
Karen>
I keep the webcams running at the same time in separate sessions
- just resize my windows so they sit next to each other
on the screen! |
| Jun
24, 15:18: |
Karen>
I've got the Marree webcam up at the moment, can see clearly
inside the Cafe! |

Zone icon down the left hand side |
