Goat Island
Goat Island, west of the Harbour Bridge, was once the fledgling colony's gunpowder store and the source of the sandstone used in some of Sydney's finest buildings. This 13 hectare island was also the headquarters for the Sydney Water Police who kept an eye out for smugglers and escaped convicts. Quarried by convict labour, the stone was also used in the island's own structures, including the superb magazine with walls so thick the temperature inside remains steady, whatever the season. Grisly relics of Goat Island's convict origins remain, including a seat carved out of stone by Charles Anderson, who was sentenced to be tied to the rock for two years. Scratchings made in the guardhouse by bored sentries are also in excellent conditions. A number of tours of the island are available including: Goat Island Heritage Tour - Wednesday at 12.45pm to 3.13pm Saturday at 12.45pm to 3.30pm Goat Gruesome - Saturday at 5.45pm to 9.30pm (EST), 6.45pm to 10.30pm (during daylight saving) Picnic Day - Sunday at 11.30am to 3.00pm
