Camping at Cockatoo Island

When I was a baby (8 weeks old), my mum joined a local Mothers Group. All the babies and mums are still friends and last weekend we went camping at Cockatoo Island in the middle of Sydney Harbour. Here we are, and you can see our tents behind us:

We had lots of fun running around the island and going from tent to tent. We also had an early Christmas dinner which we ate outside with sausage sandwiches cooked in the camp kitchen and Xmas crackers:

The island used to be a prison. So some of the buildings were a bit scary, because they were old and need repairing. One of them didn't have a roof, and you can go into the rooms where they used to lock up prisoners:
