Abstract: We describe a self homeomorphism $ R$ of the Cantor set $ X$ and then show that its conjugacy class in the Polish group $ H(X)$ of all homeomorphisms of $ X$ forms a dense $ G_\delta$ subset of $ H(X)$. We also provide an example of a locally compact, second countable topological group which has a dense conjugacy class.
