One Million Dollar View

It turned out to be better than I expected. Being more of a jungle person, urban camping sounded rather dampening to the whole idea of being away from civilization.
I'd say not only it's a good introduction to the first-time campers, but also a relaxing alternative to the whole dig-your-own-poo or light-your-own-fire rituals. Cockatoo Island provides a definite first class amenities.
Not only you could easily use the coin-operated BBQs, some campers even come prepared with the lots of nasi briyani and simply heat them with the microwave oven provided. The shower facilities is as luxurious as it is impressive.
At night, the whole establishment gives you the edge of camping in a futuristic site, amidst the towering cranes and massive sculptures of shipping equipment. The view of Sydney skyline at night concludes the scrumptious treat. You may as well feel like you don't deserve such cheap vacation at such extravagant offerings.
The heritage site boasted as the former prison for early Australian convicts, a reform school for problematic boys and girls and finally an industrial site for during the World War II. The prison barracks and soldier fortress gives the place a swift of eerie feeling, as we listen to the decription of the workers on our audio tour. But mostly an elevated feeling stays with you as you go along the different parts of the island, because although the island original feature was entirely destroyed by the industrial activities at the early ages, being one with the island together with the river, the birds, the sky and the cackling children - you do somehow feel like you're a step closer to nature.
