TWEED REGIONAL GALLERY & MARGARET OLLEY ART CENTRE REVIEWS
A most wonderful place to experience the historical past of Margaret Ollie. A Regional Art Gallery built with great passion and expertise. On land where Doug Anthony grew up and watched the River and the Mountains. A mystical place with a majestic present that for tens of millennia has been home to Australia's First Nations Peoples. The Gallery has an exquisitely good restaurant and facilities. Certainly a bucket list item of places to explore and hold in your memory.
I am not a Margaret Olley fan, however, I seem to find myself at her exhibitions and loving them. May have to just give in and own it. This gallery has treated the artist's work and life with such deep respect, you can't help but be awestruck. The recreation of the artist's living space results in endless time spent finding details and items that clearly meant the world to her. It is an intimate view into the solace and safety of a well loved home. The rest of the gallery is small, well curated and a joy to walk around. There is a variety of art forms and each are well displayed and lit. The restaurant serves beautiful coffee and pastries. We didn't eat a meal, however, they looked and smelled wonderful. The team members are friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.
Well worth the visit, especially for the lovingly reconstruction of Margaret Olley's home/studio. The art installations are well presented and interesting. The cafe/restaurant was very good. Highly recommend.

MINJUNGBAL ABORIGINAL CULTURAL CENTRE REVIEWS
What a hidden gem. Peace and Serenity. One of the signs says. Block the noise from the traffic and the odd plane and imagine an Aboriginal man in a dug out canoe spearing fish. The Walk on Water Track, is great, and the bird life for such a small area is fantastic. Well worth the visit.
Absolutely stunning place. Been multiple times now and love the peace. A beautiful place to walk around silently in the Mangrove Woods and if lucky sight few water birds.
