Broken Hill


Home base for local Indigenous artist Clinton Kemp, a member of the Dieri mob of South Australia, this excellent gallery and shop showcases work including paintings, wood carving, handmade jewellery and wooden bowls. Miners' safety helmets and emu eggs adorned with Indigenous motifs are both beautiful and interesting. Many of the items are compact and well priced, making good souvenirs and gifts.
