Parramatta River 9

Sharing some images taken from a ferry ride along the Parramatta River - Kissing Point Wharf to Darling Harbour.

Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour, located at the junction of the Parramatta River and the Lane Cove River. This is the main entrance, and administrative building, from the ferry wharf. Cockatoo Island has been the site of a prison, reformatory, industrial school and shipyard.

I enjoyed following you on your trip on the ferry. This must be a pretty large island with such a big building.

@ludwigsdiana In its original state it was 12.9 hectares in size, however, it has been expanded to 17.9 hectares through extensive quarrying. Its landscape is now articulated by man-made cliffs, stone walls and steps, docks, cranes, slipways and built forms.
If you ever come to Sydney it is worth a visit :)

All those things (prison, reformatory, etc.) and still named “kissing point”, ha!
