Naracoorte Regional Art Gallery


Housed in a stately old mansion in the town centre, between the bowls club and the car dealer, Naracoorte's art gallery displays ceramics, etchings, quilts, photographs, drawings and paintings in a series of musty rooms. Cheery local retirees do the volunteer work.
