The listing continues, 'The hotel made famous in 1983 when David Bowie filmed his 80’s classic “let’s dance” which has also welcomed a Let’s dance festival to the town of Carinda annually. The position in the film clip that David Bowie stood is unchanged to this day and has even been brought back to life by owner Malcolm to the way it was that day! Floor and all!'
