Many years ago, when the Internet was a bit of a buzz word and not many people had access to it, Orroroo had www.orroroo.com, yes our tiny town led the way.
Council minutes were published, infant tourism enterprises had a presence, people even had a forum that they actually used and took an interest in. It faded away and was lost in the whirlwind of happenings and changes.
Some said [of the Internet], “It’ll never catch on”, others had faith and persevered. And look what has happened, a new generation of kids have been born that have never known a world without the big “I”!
Now, with world-wide, instant access to almost anything, a plethora of social and business networks to choose from and even broadband in Orroroo! (though not quite in Carrieton or any more than a quick jog from town, where you still need satellite or expensive wireless)……Yes www.orroroo.com is back. (Albiet re-branded as www.orroroo.com.au)

Yes Tim, I remember. I loved looking up the comments that people put on about Orroroo etc. Very interesting.
Thanks Kate, seems like a lifetime ago. Certainly Glen Cunningham’s post got the ball rolling again, http://www.orroroo.com.au/2009/10/cunningham/
