This place is excellent to visit, especially in weekdays when is not crowded. Beautiful place to have a long walk, lot of barracks to see where you may find excibitions. There is beautiful cafe in the top of the hill where the view to Sydney (and bridge) is amazing. The cafe is not always open. Also, you will find place to camp if you want (not for free) and beautiful australian homes to spend the night.

Nice day trip idea, especially the journey on the ferry/rivercat. Great for a date. Would recommend the audio tours, only $5 each. Gives you a brief historical tour of the key places of interest. If you need a feed, head to the burger place thats right near the visitor centre and has a courtyard. Its really nice food and affordable too.

I went there on an excursion when i was 9 year old, i am sixteen years old when i write this. Its pretty freaky out by the prison and i still get nightmares about this place. DO NOT give the tall man in the shadows a piece of bread, if he asks DO NOT give it to him, politely decline and he will stop following you.

The Convict Precinct is one of the oldest group of houses on these island. The sandstone give a unique color and the audio tour let history get a live again. With a little bit of fantasy you can imagine how bad the circumstances have been but nowadays a place of living history with free entry.

Fantastic place with a cruel history, very interesting to see how things went in 1841. Stories of convicts that had a very cruel time, and the life went for the convicts that had spent their time here.

A little disappointing the buildings are without signage to indicate what they were used for. It's not more that 30-60 minutes to cover every thing. Take a ferry from circular quay to cockatoo Island
