Description

Dating from 1816, Cadman's Cottage is one of the oldest surviving residential buildings in Sydney and now houses the Sydney Harbour National Park Information and Booking Centre. It is named after John Cadman who was transported on the Barwell in 1798 for stealing a horse but by 1827, had risen to become Government Coxswain. The Centre has a wide range of tourist information and takes bookings for both the harbour islands administered by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, as well as associated sites like the Quarantine Station, Botany Bay National Park North, and Nielsen Park.
