BETTER VIEWED LARGER / Cockatoo Island is listed under the National Trust and has been returned tto the people not the developers ! It is now a very interesting tourist destination on Sydney Harbour, there is even camping on the island. The history of Cockatoo Island is emblematic of Australia’s history. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was undoubtedly used by the first Australians, the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney’s coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Sir George Gipps. Convicts were put to work building prison barracks, a military guardhouse and official residences. Not long after, the maritime history of Cockatoo Island began with the construction of the Fitzroy Dock by convicts. For the next 50 years the island was both a place of incarceration and the site of the colony’s ship repair and shipbuilding activities. During the twentieth century maritime activity grew, notably during World War I and World War II. For a time, Cockatoo Island was the largest shipbuilding yard in Australia. When the shipyard closed in 1992, Cockatoo Island lay dormant for a decade until the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and given the responsibility of revitalising this significant site. The Trust is rehabilitating the island and creating one of the most unusual places to visit in the city. Cockatoo Island has been returned to the people, for visitors to Sydney it is well worth a trip and can be reached from Sydney’s ferry terminal at Cicular Quay $5.20 each way on the ferry for adults , entrace to the island is FREE See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series /

This group will accept any artwork that includes a fire escape.
Interesting compositions that feature shadows, city surroundings and glorify the mystery and drama that fire escapes seem to possess are encouraged.
“Fire escape” is defined as “an apparatus or structure used to escape from a burning building, as a metal stairway down an outside wall.”
