Sweeping views of the harbour and perfect for an intimate island event. Image credit: Captain Cook Cruises A visit to Shark Island is a special experience with its spectacular harbour and city views and its sense of isolation and tranquillity. It boasts gentle slopes and accessible rock pools and is an ideal location for your next event. Located just off Rose Bay, Shark Island measures just 250 metres by 100 metres, with lush grassy areas and a heritage pavilion and amazing 360 views of Sydney Harbour. The island is the perfect setting for a harbour side event. Shark Island is the most well-known of the harbour islands due to its regular ferry service. Originally named Boam-billy by the local Aboriginal people, the island has a fascinating history which dates back to the 1830 s when it was established as a classic recreational parkland. The large Edwardian pavilion was constructed in 1911. Today, your guests can travel to the island and spend time enjoying a private party or special events such as food & wine festivals, art exhibitions and music events. Shark Island also plays an important role in the celebration of public events such as the New Year s Eve fireworks, Australia Day celebrations and the start of the Sydney Hobart Yacht race on Boxing Day. 3
