It's located about 10 kilometres west of the central business district, so a ferry trip takes about 20 minutes. I live in a suburb which is about 11 kilometres south of the CBD, so it takes about twenty minutes to travel into the city by train. So a day trip to Cockatoo Island is quite easy.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-88294728743367622262010-08-12T11:12:04.760+10:002010-08-12T11:12:04.760+10:00Happy these historic homes got saved.
