After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 this island was used as a place of confinement and punishment. By 1842 it was levelled to create a fort but by the 1870s a more modern defensive unit on the shores of outer Sydney Harbour had rendered Fort Denison obselete.

KABOOM! Aiming cannon at the Opera House ;)
really intresting info about fort denison...anyway i am eager to know what sort of equipment do you use to take these beautiful photos...i love photography as well and i am planning for canon eos 450d what you think about that!!!Any suggestion !!!
Heehee, a Canon EOS 450D is a much better camera than I use Raj Shrestha! If you can afford it buy it, it would be an excellent camera! I use a Canon Powershot S3IS but there is an S5 out now. I've had my eye on the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and the Olympus SP-570UZ which is also a nice camera :))
Thanks for the suggestion !!!i have kept your blog link in my blog ...coz i dont have to type add time and time to visit your blog..anyway how often you update your blog and comments 2 times a day!!!Great
Okay Raj, thanks for linking me :) I blog when have something to post which depends a lot on the weather. As you've noticed, I've been forced to go out into the rain a lot lately but as winter proceeds I might stay indoors! That means less posts ... computer break time! Have a nice evening :)

These are very interesting. Wish I could be there to see them in person. I like the blocky look of it. It's raining here, too.
Those are sandstone blocks Mary Stebbins Taitt! Quite popular to build with particularly in the old days because our local stone :)
