Collingwood is also well known for its musical nights. Don’t miss out on a night without seeing a band at The Gasometer, Grace Darling, The Tote or The Gem.

Full of art and creativity, make sure you don’t miss out on visiting Australian Galleries, Ochre and paying Lamington Drive a visit and looking at guerrilla operation Backwoods Gallery.
