Avatar's Abode
Avatar's Abode is a spiritual retreat about 115 km north of Brisbane, Australia dedicated to Meher Baba. The site has a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean to the east, over valleys and farmlands to the north and south, and rolling blue hills to the west.
==Founding==
In 1956 Ena Lemmon sent Baba a formal invitation to visit Australia, which he accepted.〔Kalchuri, (1986), p. 5087〕 The idea of establishing a place dedicated to Meher Baba in the warmer climate of Australia grew out of a letter from Meher Baba’s sister and disciple, Mani Irani.〔Kerkhove, 2008〕 On the 11th of January 1958, she wrote to the Australian group of followers, indicating that Meher Baba wished to give his Sahavas (company) in Australia at one place only, and that Baba would "like Queensland if the climate is good during June, and if the place is practical."〔"Mani S Irani, letter to Bill Le Page et al, 11 January 1958" Kerkhove, 2008 pp. 8-9〕 In 1958, using money willed for the purpose by the Australian Sufi leader Baron Von Frankenburg, Brabazon found and finalized the purchase of an eighty-two-acre pineapple farm on Kiels Mountain, Woombye, Queensland, after receiving Meher Babas' approval by telegram. Baba wrote on the telegram on the 2nd of February 1958 'Place secured by you excellently suitable'.〔Le Page (1993) p. 104〕〔Brabazon (1990) p. 3〕 During 1958, Francis Brabazon and Bill Le Page, along with three paid workers from Queensland and with the help of several people from Sydney and Melbourne, worked hard (often in the rain) to have the site ready in time to welcome Baba.〔Kalchuri, (1986), p. 5458〕 While he was there in 1958, Baba named the area Avatar's Abode and said it would become a place of world pilgrimage.〔Grant (1986) p. 26〕 Avatar's Abode is one of three main centres set up worldwide, the other being Meher Spiritual Center and the ''samadhi'' (tomb-shrine) in Meherabad, India.
