The Harbour Trust protects special destinations on Sydney Harbour, including North Head Sanctuary, Headland Park, Sub Base Platypus and Cockatoo Island.
Some are homes to native animals such as long-nosed bandicoots, echidnas, frogs and kookaburras, and many will ‘wow’ you with their natural beauty. Other places feature buildings that will transport you back in time such as Macquarie Lightstation, home of Australia’s first lighthouse, and Cockatoo Island's Convict Precinct. One place emerged during the last Ice Age and another was a submarine base. All have enduring significance for First Nations Peoples.
The activity sheets and project ideas on this page are a opportunity for kids (and kids at heart) to tap into their creativity, have fun and learn about Sydney Harbour.
