As Baba was driven along the road, those Australian lovers gathered at the farmhouse, waved at Baba, but as the farmhouse was ahead, 40 feet below the road, Baba did not see them and did not wave back. Baba's seven-colored flag (that had flown at the Meherabad Sahavas) was flying from the flagpole, but no one was around. In fact, some of the Australians ran away when they saw Baba, because they had been told by Francis to all gather at the farmhouse if Baba arrived. Also they were keen to tell the others, so they raced down, shouting: "He's here! He's here!"
Arriving at the house that had been built for him, Baba thus asked Francis with a surprised expression, "Where are my lovers?"
Francis explained that he had told the group to wait at the farmhouse, in case Baba needed to rest after his travels. Baba sent word for the group to come up to the Meeting Hall, a short distance from "Baba House."
Baba also asked "Where are the children?" and added "Never mind, I will see them later."
The children had been lodged in a nearby farmhouse and some were indeed very eager to see Baba and mindful that they had been instructed the sahavas was for adults only.
Francis then handed the key to the house to Baba, who unlocked the door. Francis opened the door for Baba, and the party entered. He was shown around the house and the room specially built for him. Baba was also shown the sweeping views that were at that time visible just behind and in front of the house.
Standing there, Baba commented, "In 700 years, Avatar's Abode will become a place of world pilgrimage."
Robert Rouse recalled Baba also said it would one day be truly "the Abode of God."
After the group was assembled in the Meeting Hall, Baba was carried from his house in a chair specially built by Reg Paffle, to decrease the trauma on Baba's hip. Reg wanted to help carry the chair as he had built it, but he did not push himself forward. Baba, reading his thoughts, beckoned Reg to be one of the carriers.
The Meeting Hall was a simple structure with only Hessian walls except in the back end where Baba was to sit, where the walls were corrugated iron.
