Cockatoo Island
Sydney Harbour
Cockatoo Island is rich in history, having been a convict prison, and then a ship building yard for the Royal Austalian Navy. Cockatoo Island is now a destination for those looking for an escape from the every day. There's the Island Bar, complete with Astro turf and steel drum music. Order one of their pizzas made in a special oven in one of the converted shipping containers doubling as a kitchen, and enjoy under a market umbrella with a view of that stunning harbour. There is plenty to explore and discover on the island. If you want to stay and absorb the history of the place, the island is home to the world's first urban campground... "glamping", if you will!
Ferries depart from Circular Quay wharf at regular intervals. Check Sydney Ferries listings.
