Off limits to the public for more than 100 years, Cockatoo Island is brimming with character and heritage from decades of human endeavour by convicts and shipbuilders. Between 1839 and 1869 the Island operated as a penal establishment before becoming one of Australia’s biggest shipyards, closing in 1991. The Island is home to a unique mix of national and maritime history with an imperial convict prison, two dry docks, wharves, slipways, maritime buildings, cranes, water towers and tunnels.
