10 years later, I finally decided to check out what had been in my back yard all those many years ago. I always was blind to Sydney's historical side. distracted by the fast pace life of the city.
I took my Mum and my Aunt with me on this walking tour of Goat Island. It was used. Like most things historic in Sydney, this island has a lot of history tie up in Convicts and military. The island was never overly inhabited, but a few houses are built here (Absolutely beautiful).
A hell of a lot of explosives were kept here on this island, that was its main use.
Its most famous use in recent history was its icon place in the Australia police drama 'Water Rats'.
It is now a part of the Sydney Harbour National Park and a protected space.
