Cockatoo Island
An island at the west end of Sydney Harbour, dominated by buildings and machinery from its shipbuilding history. In earlier days the island was used for many purposes including as a prison.
When we were there the buildings were being used to house modern artworks as part of the Sydney Biennale.

Slipway
Seabirds are everywhere
Tunnels were dug to allow easier access around the island
Art installation...
in an old storage bunker
Many of the workshops still contain heavy plant
The inevitable piece of Glasgow built machinery
Old prison buildings on the high ground on the island
