Guidebook for Fern Tree
Arts & Culture
reportedly the 2nd largest private art collection in the Southern Hemisphere. Eye opening, with a message. Not much "pretty landscapes"- more social comment, a historical, creating change and education kina art.. can be confronting for some but will make you think and question various aspects of life. I'd recommend it to anyone, but I cannot vouch for the experience you'll have, it is a personal journey! Great gourmet cafe, gift shop, micro brewery and vineyard all there too.. to make a day of it you can also catch a fast ferry there and back.
