An island in the middle of Sydney Harbour that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site dotted with historical buildings. Catch the ferry from Circular Quay—a journey in itself—to see architecture from five distinct eras. Squat, convict-built lock-ups of Sydney’s beginnings contrast with grand-scale ship-building facilities of a once-thriving industry. Dedicate a good half-day here: there’s also a cafe, a bar, walking tracks, and several ways to interact with the history, including an audio tour and video installations. This isn’t a pretty, Disneyfied experience—it’s quite gritty. And an interesting contrast against the sparkling harbour.

Cockatoo Island is a Heritage-listed island in the middle of Sydney Harbour, used as a prison (for those already transported to the Australian penal colony in the 19th century) and as a large shipyard. Accessible by Sydney Ferries, used today as a venue for concerts and art exhibitions. Excellent views of the harbour.

Industrial island located in the middle of the harbour: beautilful view on the city and old industrial buildings on site.

Cockatoo Island has historic buildings and facilities harking back to shipbuilding days. These days the facilities are often used for art exhibitions. There are food and drink concessions on the island and you can rent a boat from the Cockatoo Island Marine Centre (www.cockatoomarine.com.au/). Get there by ferry.
