Fort Denison is a historic island located in the middle of Sydney Harbour, Australia with a restaurant and city views. It is also known as Pinchgut Island because of its former use as a prison. The island was originally named "Rock Island" by Captain John Hunter in 1790, and it was used as a fishing spot by the local Aboriginal people.
In 1855, the island was fortified with a sandstone Martello tower as part of a defense strategy for Sydney Harbour. The tower was built to defend Sydney from potential attacks by Russian warships during the Crimean War.

Over the years, Fort Denison was used for various purposes, including as a quarantine station, a weather station, and a training ground for naval cadets. It was also used as a prison for political prisoners during the late 1800s.

Today, Fort Denison is open to the public as a museum and tourist attraction. Visitors can take a guided tour of the fort and tower, and learn about the island's history and significance in Sydney's defense strategy. The island also offers stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the surrounding areas, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
