Named for its shape rather than the grouchy cartilaginous buggers that lurk in its shallow waters, this island was traditionally used as an animal quarantine zone and a naval storage depot, but now its sole purpose is to offer great views of the harbour and both North and South Head. With large grassed areas, a wading beach, gazebo and tables, this is the perfect spot for a family picnic.
Ferry departs every 45 mins from Darling Harbour Pier 26 & Circular Quay Wharf 6 daily. Departing every 45mins from 9.30am (Darling Harbour) and from 9.45am (Circular Quay).
