Main photo: Photolibrary; Supporting photos: TNSW; Carnival ride Photo: Photolibrary ALL ABOARD: COCKATOO What’s there: Sydney Harbour’s largest island has a fascinating history and is the only island where you can sleep over. So bring a tent or book one of the holiday houses, and wake up in the middle of Sydney Harbour. Tell me more: Over the years, Cockatoo Island has variously housed a prison, an industrial school, a reformatory and a jail, before it became one of the biggest shipyards in Australia. There are unique relics to explore, from the giant turbine hall to the World Heritage-listed convict-built sandstone structures. Kids will love the giant cranes and machinery, and the spooky convict prison. Explore by yourself, take a guided tour, or book the kids for one of the special kids’ activities. You can even make a night of it staying at the camping site with fully set-up tents (you can also bring your own — at just AU$45 a night, it’s the cheapest harbour view in town). If you prefer your creature comforts, there are also four holiday houses and two apartments. Electric barbecues are available, and there’s a licensed café on the island. ALL ABOARD: MILSONS POINT What’s there: Two of Sydney’s favourite family destinations: Luna Park and the Art Deco North Sydney Olympic Pool. Tell me more: That giant laughing face is irresistible for kids, and Luna Park remains a great choice for a family day out. All the old favourites are here — the Wild Mouse rollercoaster, the rotor and dodgem cars, and of course, the mighty Ferris Wheel with CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Luna Park’s iconic façade always brings on a smile; the carnival rides of Luna Park are fun for all ages; see Sydney’s swanky side at Double Bay; Cockatoo Island is rich with history and heritage its stunning close-up view of the Harbour Bridge. Younger kids will love Coney Island, the 1930s-style fun house complete with slides, a Turkey Trot and Barrels of Fun. Entry is free — pay per ride, or buy a multi-ride pass. On a hot day, you can cool off at North Sydney Olympic Pool right next door. It’s one of Sydney’s most scenic places to get wet, and has both an indoor as well as an outdoor pool — and plenty of places to lounge and watch the boats sail by. ALL ABOARD: DOUBLE BAY What’s there: Double Bay has a reputation as a princess precinct: it’s full of stylish DECEMBER <strong>2010</strong> 87
