Sydney Harbour Sydney, NSW 2000 +61 (0)2 9247 5033 http://www.npws.nsw.gov.au |
First inhabited in 1788 by a biscuit stealer, Fort Denison was an isolated prison for Sydney's most dangerous convicts. Also known as "Pinchgut" due to the meagre rations given to its prisoners, the island has a grim history of incarceration. These days, the island is a part of Sydney Harbour National Park and visitors are offered a cannon museum, a bell tower, a working tide gauge, a beautiful view and cafeteria. Bookings essential. Cost:Fort Denison Heritage Adults AUD22; children AUD18. Review © 2009, Wcities |
