photos: cockatoo island

I'm sure there's all sorts of interesting facts and things I should know to tell you about Cockatoo Island -- it clearly has some sort of a history; I'm guessing militarial -- but I don't know what any of them are.  Let's just say I wasn't exactly on a research trip.

It does seem you can camp there -- which very nearly became necessary seeing as the ferries are a bit hit and miss -- there's a couple different timetables, but they get progressively fewer and farther between after dark.  Fortunately one did come eventually -- and all's well that ends well, hey?
