Cockatoo island
This island is the biggest in the harbour and has a mixed history of being a prison, a shipyard and a place of industry.
A windy ferry crossing over but a lovely sunny day for exploring with the audio guide and kids trail.
During ww2 after Singapore was captured by the Japanese, this is where allied ships came to be fixed up as it was the only place in the south pacific able to do so.
Picnic lunch and an ice cream at Darling harbour before a visit to our local park on the way home.
Packing up this eve before flying up to the Whitsundays on Fri. No internet there so updates less regular.
