Bare Island is a heritage-listed islet located in south-eastern Sydney, in La Perouse suburb of Sydney. The islet is located about 16 kilometres south east of the Sydney central business district, within Botany Bay, close to the bay's northern headland. Containing former fortification facilities, Bare Island was a former war veterans' home and museum and is now a historic site that was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register and is significant as an almost completely intact example of late nineteenth century coastal defence technology. It was designed by Sir Peter Scratchley, Gustave Morell and James Barnet and built from 1881 to 1889 by John McLeod on behalf of the NSW Department of Public Works. Bare Island is connected by a footbridge to the mainland of La Perouse. The heritage-listed military fort and tunnels can only be visited by guided tour. The waters around the island are popular with scuba divers. Bare Island was featured in Mission: Impossible 2 movie and East West 101 TV drama series.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
