This sounds so super-cool and brilliant stuff. It is such a shame that so many people I know would never be able to afford it. I realise speakers have to make a living, but my friends in Kinglake have such a lot to do, and despite many media reports over the past few months, there isn’t a lot of funding going directly to where it could do the most good – like bringing one or two speakers to them for instance
Excellent idea Roma.
