SHARK ISLAND
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (City Centre)About
Shark Island is so called because of its shape, not for a dangerous population of sharks haunting its waters. The island, which for most of its life served as animal quarantine, has large grassy stretches and shady trees for picnicking, and a gazebo which will fit up to thirty people. The island is, however, a bit of a hassle to get to: you can either hire your own water taxi, or catch a special ferry, unless of course somebody has hired out the entire island for their own personal use, which is not unheard of.
