Melb. Highland Games & Celtic FestivalThe Billabong Band is the Victorian Folk Music Club's own performance group and is probably the longest established band in Australia playing traditional music for Bush / Colonial dances and for concerts. The line-up is variable and depends on which musicians are available at the time. The Melbourne Highland Games and Celtic Festival has hosted this event in Melbourne for over fifty years. It is one of the highlights of the Scottish Australian calendar and is considered the number one multicultural festival in the City of Maroondah and greater Melbourne. Eastfield Park Melway ref. 50H7
