Cockatoo Island
|
Cockatoo Island is an island in Sydney Harbour, Sydney, Australia. The island was originally used as a prison and later developed as a shipyard. Many naval ships were built and maintained at Cockatoo Island. The shipyard was closed during the 1980s. A music and arts festival was staged in late March 2005, and the island was scheduled to re-open to the public during that year.
