Day Gallery

Well worth the train ride to Blackheath in the scenic Blue Mountains, this gallery specialises in contemporary Australian painting, secondary market art, even colonial works on paper. They also have an interest in repairing damaged pieces by celebrated artists like Brett Whiteley and Arthur Boyd, so it’s possible to glimpse rare work when you’re there. Vince and Helen Day, who run the place, are hugely knowledgeable, especially with regard to Australian artists. They can teach you a lot about art history in one visit.
