Cockatoo Island, Sydney, Australia - The Remnants of History

Cockatoo Island is also known as Cockatoo Island. You need to take a ferry from Sydney's circular Quay to get there. Because the schedule is different, you can find which platform to get to on site. You can buy the ferry ticket directly or with an Opal card or credit card. I used a credit card so I don't know how much it costs. But you don't need a ticket to enter the island. There are shipyards and old prison facilities on the island, and there is also open camping (the bathroom facilities are not very good, so you need to think twice). From 1839 to 1869, Cockatoo Island operated as a penal institution, primarily as a place of secondary punishment for criminals who reoffended in the colony. From 1857 to 1991, Cockatoo Island operated as a shipyard and was home to one of the largest shipyards in Australia. I heard that a lot of tourists are now allowed to visit, but I seemed to be the only non-Australian person when I went there🤔 That day, I was leaving Sydney for the Gold Coast. When I checked out early in the morning and didn't know where to go, this attraction suddenly opened up. I went there without thinking about anything. It was a good experience to just go. People who like monuments and nature can try it. Don't leave any regrets in your life, do your want to do, even if you don't have any idea, few years later, you will thank yourself for you made a right choice #sydney
