My sister is the last member of
My Family Who Flew Over From The USA To See The Oz Bebbehs to arrive. She's an elementary music teacher, so as a special treat I took her to see a concert at the nearby
Jenolan Caves.
The Paganini Duo play gypsy music in the
Cathedral Cave (arguably the best natural amphitheater in the world).
We picked up our tickets from the Guide's Office...
...and then strolled down to the main entrance to the caves:
You're not allowed to roam around the caves without a Jenolan staff member present, so while we waited for a guide with our fellow concert-goers, Eryn entertained herself by taking photos of the cave, while I took photos of Eryn:
We spotted the musicians heading down to the cave...
...and a few minutes later we were on our way! No photos, sorry - I was too busy concentrating on not dying as I dragged my poor post-twin body up and down approximately eleventy million stairs to get into the heart of Lucas Cave, where the Cathedral is located. We were banned from taking pictures during the actual performance, but I snapped a few of the "stage" before the duo started playing:
The music was fantastic, and the caves themselves are stunning - I'd like to return to see more of them in the future, although preferably when I'm in better shape and the weather is warmer, because I damn near froze my imaginary bollocks off. But it was worth it to see a place as beautiful as this:
