Cockatoo island is just a hop skip and jump from Sydney....seriously it is a 10 minute ferry ride. WE love ferries!
On the way to cockatoo island we passed Sydney's amusement park Luna Park ( we have not been yet...)
Ah ok- before we arrive- here is some history- thank you wikipedia:
Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Cockatoo Island is a former imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and gaol. It was also the site of one of Australia's biggest shipyards during the twentieth century. The first of its two dry docks was built by convicts and was completed in 1857.
The latest trend: people camp here....tents are up year round. ( take note potential visitors)
Cockatoo also has some interesting industrial art work....
And of course there is one bar on the island-
With a beautiful view
And ending with sunset!
Till next time-
Occupy Cockatoo Island tent city, here I come!
ReplyDeleteSome cool Banksy-style art.
Not a single Cockatoo though....
