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.[7] While he was there in 1958, Baba named the area Avatar's Abode and said it would become a place of world pilgrimage.[8] 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.
