Part of Oberon's Highland Steam and Vintage Fair
 As part of the Highland Steam Festival, there will be a fantastic Classic Car display at Jenolan Caves (50 cars, jeeps and trucks), around the middle of the day. Some will be on display across from the Ticket Office, but you will be able to see most of them in the main car park.
The Australia Fair Travelling Organ will entertain all day, near the Ticket Office. It is the only travelling concert organ in Australia and produces the equivalent sound of a 20-piece band. The organ has 442 pipes, with drums, cymbals, bells, woodblocks and animated figures. Its music is often referred to as the ‘happiest music on earth". Don't miss it!

 A runaway success in the West End, at successive Edinburgh Festivals and right across the USA, this is a hilarious send-up of classical music, which has established Australian pianist, David Scheel, as the successor to the legendary Victor Borge. Beautiful music, and musical fun performed in so many accents/voices that David has also been compared to Robin Williams and Peter Ustinov. More info
