**Cockatoo Island Free Self Guided Talking Object Tour**

Known as Wareamah by the Wallumedegal, Wangal, Cammeraygal and Gadigal Peoples, Cockatoo Island is a former convict penal establishment and naval shipyard, located in the heart of Sydney Harbour.
Cockatoo Island is a source of intrigue and inspiration for visitors owing to its heritage buildings, distinctive terrain and panoramic views.
Located at the junction of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers, Cockatoo Island is just a ferry ride away.
**Details**
This morning we will catch a ferry to Cockatoo Island to take a self-guided Talking Object Tour and speak directly to iconic objects, including historic landmarks, about their incredible stories.
When you visit Cockatoo Island, keep an eye out for our turquoise "hello" signs. As you chat with key objects, you'll hear their stories and gain insight into the island’s First Nations, convict and maritime narratives.
