Visitors to Bunjaree Cottages will be pleased to know that there’s a new art gallery in Katoomba, just 15 minutes away. The Blue Mountains City Art Gallery launched last month with its first exhibition, Picturing the Great Divide, which features works from the 19th century through to contemporary times.

The gallery is also wonderfully affordable, with a family of four able to see the 100-painting exhibition for $16 ($5 for each adult, $3 for each child).
