Cockatoo Island

Wednesday, May 30, 2018




Last week we had a homeschool excursion to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour.

Initially we were going to be divided into two groups - one primary and one high school, but on the day we only had one tour guide, but it worked well and was very informative.

I had never been to Cockatoo Island and was always curious...now I know - a mix of indigenous, convict and industrial history all crowded into one little island in the middle of Sydney Harbour.

And then, after the tour, there was time to wander around the art exhibits for the Biennale, and play a bit of chess!
