Steampunk is gaining in popularity as more and more people for their own particular reasoning are choosing to follow this genre that revolves around 19th century technology yet at the same time is also futuristic.
Steampunk takes one back into a world that has an alternate reality based on the steam engine in preference to electricity.
It is a genre that successfully blends 19th century technology, aesthetics and crosses over into the world of science fiction.
Steampunk devotees dress in clothing reminiscent of the era and I heard one member of the genre offer the following answer when asked what does it all mean, his response was, "Its art madam, it is art".
I felt that this was a very apt response.
Steampunk Sydney conducted a display at the recent Hunter Valley Steamfest where they attracted a great deal of attention.
This steampunk was preparing to go for a ride around the grounds on his penny farthing, the penny farthing being a popular means of cycling in the 19th century.
