    1. Hi Sarah
      A very interesting room. It belonged to a famous Australian artist called Margaret Olley. When she died the entire room full of belongings was transported to Tweed Art Gallery in northern New South Wales and put back exactly as she had it. It is a marvellous space.

    1. hi kriss
      definitely worth a visit. the Gallery is quite famous these days. It sits on a ridge overlooking the river and hills in the background. The view never disappoints, and the exhibitions are usually wonderful.
