This was one of the stops on the Guided Heritage Tour taken from the Armidale Visitor Centre. As the stop also enabled us to visit the next door Aboriginal Cultural Centre we lost time in this venue before heading to the Art Museum where we then had limited time to take in the wonderful art on display here. Hence, we returned by car that same afternoon and did a separate and longer visit to be able to really appreciate these works of art collected by 1 man. If you don't have time to make a separate visit and only do this whilst on the bus tour, make sure you leave time to have a good look here first.

We enjoyed morning tea in this charming cafe and bookstore where the friendly staff are happy to chat as well as providing excellent service. We enjoyed great coffee, quality teas and fabulous fresh-baked cake slices in a quiet, congenial atmosphere mercifully free from thumping music. The book collection was a pleasant surprise, offering a huge range of fiction and non-fiction, arts, gardening, cookery and just about every imaginable topic, most in very good condition, for adults and children. A delightful visit, thanks.
