Ever wondered about that little plot of land near the Bridge? Well that would be Rodd Island, also known as Rabbit, Rhode, Snake and Jack Island. Named after Brent Clements Rodd – a local solicitor who attempted to buy the island in 1842 – it is located in the sheltered waters of Iron Cove, just off Birkenhead Point. The farthest west of the Sydney Harbour National Park islands, Rodd has a rich history commencing in 1879 when it became the first public recreation reserve in Sydney Harbour. It has also been a laboratory working for the Pasteur Institute,a quarantine station and a training base for the US Army during World War II. The Island is a peaceful paradise that features three 1920’s style picnic shelters including a gazebo and two summer houses, as well as flat lawn areas and a charming heritage circa 1889 dance hall and is perfect for your next island event.
