La Perouse, Bare Island

This view of Bare Island is from the eastern suburb of La Perouse. The island is located at the mouth of Botany Bay and is linked by a wooden bridge. It features a historic military fort and tunnels built in 1885 to protect Sydney from sea attack when it was feared an invasion from Russia was imminent.
