Woolwich Dock sits where the Parramatta and Lane Cover rivers meet, known as Mocooboola. This majestic sandstone dry dock and the adjoining parklands are linked by picturesque walkways. The existing industrial buildings have been refurbished and the dock's present use of boat building and boat repair echo its maritime and industrial past. The area offers an interesting delve into our maritime city's past.
A dramatic platform perched high above the head of the dock, this lookout reminds us that Sydney's is a working harbour. Look down to see the historic Woolwich Dock that has serviced ships for over a century or gaze across to Cockatoo Island, once the site of Australia's biggest shipyard. Or simply enjoy splendid views of the Lane Cover River, Balmain peninsula, city skyline and the Harbour Bridge.
