Located in Sydney Harbour near the Opera House. Fort Denison has a fascinating history linked to Sydney's convict past and is an amazing lunch venue with stunning harbour views from the island Cafe.
Fort Denison has seen it all – the development of the city of Sydney, Japanese submarine invasion and the building of both the Harbour Bridge and Opera House just metres away. It was even hit by friendly fire during WWII. The island provides visitors a fascinating link with Sydney's convict past and is part of the Sydney Harbour National Park. Its tower is one of only two surviving Martello Towers in the Southern Hemisphere. The Fort gun is fired at one o'clock daily.
Explore the island at your leisure with a Matilda Fort Denison Ferry, departing approximately every 45 minutes daily from Circular Quay and Darling Harbour.
The Fort Denison Cafe is an amazing lunch venue with stunning harbour views and a choice of brunch or family bbq menus.
