10 Free Things to do in Blackheath That You Shouldn't Miss

Day Fine Art was founded in 2010 by Vincent and Helen Day. Our gallery focus is exhibiting artwork with a high level of visual sophistication, from colonial to contemporary Australian art. We work closely with a small group of emerging Australian contemporary artists, whose aesthetics vary widely. Whilst our curatorial philosophy is eclectic, the focus is on contemporary social and environmental issues. The gallery also has a strong interest in Australian artworks painted between 1830 and 1950.

The professional presentation of a diverse range of quality artworks, many of which may be found in local, national and international private and corporate collections, has ensured that the Gallery Blackheath is widely recognised as playing a major role in the establishment of Blackheath as a significant regional art destination.

100 Years at Logan Brae Orchards Occupying the same land since its establishment 100 years ago, Logan Brae Orchards is a family run orchard on the Shipley Plateau, located 5 minutes from the Blue Mountains town of Blackheath. The orchard was planted in 1919 when the plateau was mostly an orcharding community. At it’s fruit-bearing peak in the early 20th century it was home to thirteen orchards. Today Logan Brae is the plateau’s only remaining orchard and is a sweet reminder of how our fruit used to be grown. Every weekend during apple season, March through July, you can visit Logan Brae to buy apples, juice and a variety of other produce. Or you can sit on the lawn and enjoy the spectacular views of the Blue Mountains escarpments while eating a homemade hot apple pie.

Located in an original 1920’s printing factory in Blackheath within the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, we are an easy two-hours' drive from Sydney's CBD.

All used collectable records over $20 are cleaned ultrasonically and re-sleeved in new MoFi anti-static inner sleeves before going on the floor or listing on our website. We buy vinyl collections and are happy to do trades on vinyl, CDs, books and posters. Our website is regularly updated with our latest acquisitions and we ship world-wide.
