Cockatoo Island

Many years ago if you were on your way to Cockatoo Island it meant you were going to prison, an industrial school, a reformatory or a goal. Not very fun locations in anyones eyes. But today, visitors go there for a host of good fun attractions. A great place to come and get away from the busy city of Sydney and is located north west of Pyrmont , being only accessible by sea ferry. A relaxed area that is free of charge, visitors can come and explore the island at their leisure.

Discover the old prisons and industrial buildings that have stood here for many years. Kids can have a great time pretending to be Sherlock Holmes searching for convict clues on the island in the self guided activity. With a map and activity booklet the uncovering can begin for the little investigators as they discover what it was like being a convict on Cockatoo Island. Visitors can picnic, barbeque, visit cafes or take guided tours around this cool historic island. Seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Well this island should seem familiar as parts of the blockbuster were filmed right here! And for those of you that want to let your hair down, just a bit, the famous Island bar serves up some of the finest cocktails, added with a great atmosphere and views of Sydney from the waterfront, just be careful mixing alcohol and being close to the water! Make sure your memory of Sydney lasts with some spectacular photo opportunities of Sydney from this island. Take a sea ferry back to Circular Quay and enjoy fine views of Sydney harbour on your way.

Enjoy hotels in the north area of the CBD with great views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House such as Sydney Harbour Marriott , The Sebel Pier One , Four Seasons Sydney , Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney and The York by Swiss-Belhotel
