The lands provide an amazing opportunity they contain historic buildings and areas of pristine natural vegetation, magnificent views of the harbour and a record of our city's Aboriginal, maritime and defence heritage. The Harbour Trust wants to create something truly special for these lands - to enhance the harbour and leave a lasting legacy for Sydney. The lands are not to be sold and will remain in public ownership forever. These lands have been hidden away from the community for many years, but will now be conserved for the benefit of present and future generations of Australians. The organisation was set up by the Australian Government to plan for the future of former Defence and special Commonwealth lands around Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust is an Australian Government agency within the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts portfolio. Enjoy going to work each morning, knowing you will spend the day in the world's most beautiful harbour!.Attractive remuneration circa $81,000 to $90,000 plus super, negotiable based on experience!.It’s great to do as a staycation from Sydney and a great night away if you want to be away from the city without driving ages. The tent was a very good size with great amenities such as duvets, pillows, soaps, bedside table which turned into an esky, towels, deck chairs and a lantern. But the best thing I’d say would be the waterfront campsite. The toilets for camping were very well looked after also. We watched the sunset on the deck and they had a campfire going nearby. One had live music in the afternoon and the other was really cool at night seeing the city and harbour bridge all lit up. The restaurants were also great and we visited both on the island. ![]() The tour was great and took you round the whole island and you can buy the Audio for 5/6$ each. We arrived around 11am and did the virtual tour while we were waiting to check in at 2pm. Me and my boyfriend stayed here for one night in one of the waterfront campground site and we were very pleased with what we experienced. The apartment was clean and spacious and included all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The seagulls, however, were loud but this was all part of the experience. The island itself was quiet, we got the impression there weren't too many other guests staying the night. We were given a contact number for the night ranger should anything go wrong, but this was not needed. ![]() We were also able to take audio guides of the island for the whole night, so we could complete the tour after the visitor reception and cafes had closed - this meant we had a relatively quiet experience. We arrived at around 2.30pm - check in was very easy and the receptionist was friendly and showed us where to go. There are no other eating/drinking facilities on the island so this was an essential stop really - there is nothing to stop you getting a ferry into town though after hours. The visitor centre and cafe were closing at 3pm, so we stopped at a supermarket before getting the ferry to the island to stock up on food etc. There are fantastic views from the studio, right across the harbour and all around the island. Ferries also run all day so you don't feel isolated or stuck on the island. The studio is situated directly above the visitor reception/ticket office so very easy to get to from the ferry wharf. It was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. We stayed for one night in the Fire Station Studio.
