SA Museum Cafe Grace and Disgrace

There was a fine cafe at the South Australia museum.

It was named the Balena Cafe.

The name Baleen describes the brush-like plates used by some whales to separate food from water.

In fact, there is an assortment of whale skeletons directly next to the BC seating areas.

(What would humans and human spirits think and feel if a creature cafe had human skeletons on display next to a creature wine and dine area?)

For many years the Balena Cafe was a wonderful place for family and visitor refreshments and dining.

Patrons to the BC had a fine choice of exquisitely prepared seafood and other culinary delights as well as budget-type fare that lower income patrons also enjoyed.

The staff at the BC were very pleasant, dedicated, skillful in every way that was appropriate to working in a fine cafe and restuarant.

Then, one fateful day in July 2010, the Iron Curtain came down hard at the BC :

The doors suddenly closed to The Public and THE WORKERS WERE FIRED WITH NO NOTICE GIVEN even after the workers had put in all their dedicated work for many years.

Where there has been Ecstasy perhaps there is also Agony.

Such a shame that such a fine establishment would be cut out its workers with no advance notice.

Such is life at the SA Museum, a Mining Museum financed by the international mining and nuclear consortium of BHP, Areva, Santos and many other "players" in plunder.
