 Jun 22, 11:20: Karen> What kinds of things have been developing? (Apart from webcams and phone lines?!)
 Jun 22, 11:21: Mark> Karen, Ann and I were happy to see the webcam is working. It looks like it's a nice sunny day up there.
 Jun 22, 11:22: Glenise> bui;lding infrastructures and developing the camping ground, planting of native vegetation etc
 Jun 22, 11:23: Aaron> I visited Iga Warta last year and helped to build a dance floor out the front of one of your houses. I was wondering if the roof has been finished yet?

 Jun 22, 11:24: Karen> A dance floor? As in a disco dance floor?

 Jun 22, 11:25: Glenise> Yes Aaron what you can see through the camera is the finish product with a roof complete, however, there is an outdoor dining room just being completed as we speak
 Jun 22, 11:26: Aaron> Thats just what we called it when we were building it. Really it was a raised decking for a verandah.
 Jun 22, 11:26: Glenise> We had approximately 30 for dinner under our million star restaurant last night. They sat down for Kangaroo Lasangne and Qaundong pudding
 Jun 22, 11:27: Glenise> 'Oh my Warla' has been sung on the many times and it will be sung many more times to come
 Jun 22, 11:27: John> This was the ctc roadshow gang?
 Jun 22, 11:28: Karen> Who comes up with the dinner menus? Who is the 'chef' of the community?
 Jun 22, 11:28: Glenise> The dance floor is an outdoor pergola area not a dance/disco are as such. It blends in with the environment making it appropriate
 Jun 22, 11:28: Aaron> No not the main building, somebodies house about 300m West of there. I came up in a group with Bruce and stayed at Syd's property last July.
