Coogee, Wedding Cake Island

 
Wedding Cake Island, viewed from Coogee Beach in the eastern suburb of Coogee. The island is one kilometre off the coast, in the Pacific Ocean and is named for its white, flat top and layers resembling a wedding cake, especially when whitecaps break over it. There were swells rising up to four metres this week which battered the coastline and this island.

Cockatoo Island, camping (Theme Day: Rest, Sleep and Relaxation)

Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour, located at the junction of the Parramatta River and the Lane Cove River. It has been the site of a prison, reformatory, industrial school and shipyard. The heavy industry ceased in 1992 when the shipyard closed and ten years later it became a major venue for art exhibitions and festivals. Visitors can stay at this camping site along the foreshore.
