Description
Bare Island was considered the “back door to Sydney” and as well as an important area of land to protect, the city’s major water supply were also based in that area and it was feared an enemy might attack the city by attacking that water system.
The island has certainly changed since those tranquil days. In the 1870s the authorities of New South Wales had the view that the Russians were likely to invade Australia. Therefore, in 1877 two British fortification experts, Sir Peter Scratchley and William Jervois were sent to Australia as a result of a request from the Colony of New South Wales. They were given the task of designing and co-ordinating the defence of Sydney and they planned a series of forts and gun batteries to protect against attack.
During operating years, the barracks on Bare Island were manned by about 70 soldiers.
