Convicts escaped from Cockatoo Island primarily through tunneling, taking advantage of the island's geography to dig hidden passages. Some also attempted to swim to the mainland or used makeshift rafts, while others relied on the cover of darkness to evade guards during risky movements. The island's isolation and rugged terrain provided both challenges and opportunities for those seeking freedom. Over time, these escape attempts led to increased security measures.

Cockatoo Island is close to Sydney, Australia. It is the site of a former prison, and there was once an active shipyard on the island too. These days, the island is a popular tourist destination for those lucky enough to visit Australia.
