Quote
-
Should it be desired to try the effect of any new system of management [...] no place in New South Wales would be so well calculated for it as Cockatoo Island, surrounded as it is by deep water, yet under the very eye of the authority. [...] Cockatoo Island affords very excellent Building Stone, and it may be ultimately made to supply this material to Sydney in the same way that the Penitentiary at Sing Sing supplies Building Stone to New York.
