Fabulous gallery featuring indigenous art and crafts. The gallery itself is lovely and staff don't put pressure on you to buy. Each piece tells a unique story about Aboriginal life and comes with a certificate of authenticity. There are some unique gift items that are relatively well-priced.
I really like this gallery because it's full of displays that actually help to understand more of what you're looking at, rather than trying hard to sell artwork etc (though there's works for sale too - mostly at the higher end pricewise). Learnt a lot by browsing through their displays.
Their gift shop has some things that others don't, and they're not 'pressure selling' - I felt quite free to just wander around and look at things.
