Check out the Heritage Listed Cockatoo Island, in the middle of Sydney Harbour. A former imperial prison turned shipyard, this island is now the host of many regular art installations, exhibitions and most recently the  upcoming 2009 Australian Comedy Festival. It also boasts magnificent views of Sydney Harbour.

Sydney Ferries operates services from Circular Quay to Cockatoo Island every day.
