Cockatoo Island Industrial Conservation Area
Cockatoo Island Industrial Conservation Area, Heritage-listed industrial site in Sydney Harbour, Australia.
The industrial conservation area spans 20 hectares on Cockatoo Island, featuring dry docks, workshops, and maritime structures from different historical periods.
From 1839 to 1869, convicts carved sandstone cliffs and constructed grain silos, establishing the foundation for what became Australia's primary shipbuilding facility.
The site contains machinery, artifacts, and buildings that demonstrate the evolution of Australian maritime technology and industrial practices across three centuries.
Regular ferry services from Circular Quay provide access to the island, where visitors can explore industrial structures and participate in guided tours.
The island houses twelve underground grain silos cut into solid rock by convict labor during the 1840s, representing early colonial engineering.
