This gallery specialises in contemporary Chinese Art. It's a cool neighbourhood to wander around, particularly in Spring when the jacaranda trees are in bloom. Check out Brickfields Bakery nearby for the Persian Love Cake.

Parks & Nature

This was a labour of love. Build over several years by the local community, this garden is a gem and the perfect spot for a picnic with harbour views. Take the train to Milson's Point, wander around the the garden then grab a ferry back from McMahon's Point.
