The plan is to catch the 8.05 am ferry from Circular Quay – Wharf 5. Members who find this time unsuitable can of course make alternative arrangements.

Members will undoubtedly make their own way around the island and choose their own shooting locations. It is the intention to meet for morning tea between 10.00 and 10.30am at the Muster Station Café which is located near the island ferry wharf. Depending on the time frame some may choose to come back to the Café for lunch.


Note that the island has two levels – Lower Island and Plateau. Each level apparently takes about ¾ of an hour to inspect, which presumably would not include our numerous photo stops. Perhaps one level before morning tea and the other level after.

First ferry from Circular Quay is at 6.25 am, then 7.25 and thereafter at approx. ½  hour intervals.

Ferries return from Cockatoo Island at regular intervals during the day. Ferry timetables can be found on the island website.
