Cockatoo Island Open Day

To coincide with the theme of this year’s festival, Unearthed, there will be a range of talks that peel back the layers of history at Cockatoo Island and raise awareness of its White’s seahorse colony. These include a special talk by the heritage architect who, in 2009, uncovered the island’s convict era Solitary Confinement Cells.

Throughout Open Day, you’ll also have a chance to enjoy live music, a dance lesson, delicious food (including food stalls), steam crane demonstrations, paid boat rides and so much more!

Plus, for one day only, the island’s holiday houses and apartments will be open at select times – and inviting people in! Discover their heritage charm and gain access to an EXCLUSIVE discount for your next stay! More of an outdoors type? The island’s very best waterfront tents will be open for a sticky beak.

While it’s not compulsory to register your attendance for Open Day registering helps forecast visitor numbers, ensuring everyone has an enjoyable and hassle-free visit.
