This sleek building commemorates Australian icon and country-music legend Slim Dusty, who was born in Kempsey. Inside you'll discover the man's music, his guitars and lots of interesting musical ephemera. The Nulla Nulla Gallery has changing exhibitions, ranging from Australian political cartoons to local landscape painting, and the gift shop is a good place to pick up an Akubra hat.
