What the heck is it tho? Is it military? A fortress? Bunker? A lighthouse with a mini putting green? A prison? At first I thought it was some sort of Alcatraz type installation, I cant judge the size of the thing Crying

They used to call it Pinchgut.
The really really naughty convicts were put out there for solitary confinement ...escape back to the mainland entailed outswimming the sharks.
Times have changed - you can catch a ferry now to the little restaurant there.

short history lesson....
There was a shot fired at Fort Denison in 1942, when there were Japanese midget submarines raiding the harbour, but even that wasn't enemy action: it was the US Navy blazing away in the dark. It was indeed fortunate they had left the US Cavalry at home, or the harbour would have been full of drowned horses, claim unkind Sydneysiders.
The shell, by the way, just bounced off the tower.
A blank shot used to be fired from the fort each day, to announce the passing of one o'clock.
Fort Denison! smile
I googled Tongue You can eat or get married there Tongue

Very cool smile

I'm surprised the prison systems don't run with this idea more often, imagine how much could be saved by not hiring escape guards Big Grin

I wonder what's going to happen to that ship.
I just went looking....apparently rescue crews have been cutting holes into the hull of the ship to search for survivors. So it's looking more like the ship will be chopped up and carted off.
That's gonna take a while, I expect.

On the ship in that picture there have be 16 deaths, and 16 still missing.
