Day Trip to Cockatoo Island

Over the weekend, we had our plans canceled on us so we had some unexpected free time. On Sunday we spent the afternoon on Cockatoo Island, checking out some of the Contemporary Art installations during the Biennale of Sydney 2008.

Now, I normally don't understand art at the best of times, so Contemporary Art really confused me. However I really enjoyed wandering around the old industrial site, looking at the old warehouses and buildings and rusty cranes.

Here are some pictures of the structures on the island:






Here is the obligatory tourist photos of the view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge from the island:


Here's a photo of a sign erected in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art (back on the mainland) with some buildings in the background:


And here's the only photo of the two of us on the day:
