Australia Fair - Facts


Australia Fair was built by Verbeeck's Organ Works of Belgium (founded 1884). It took 3 years to build and was completed in late 1992. It is an original design in that, that is how Verbeeck classify each project. It's main attraction is the number of pipes, far more than normally found in such instruments, which are able to produce concert like performances.
