Rottnest Island WA

Happy Easter!

Another early start in Fremantle to catch the ferry across to Rottnest Island. Mission: Selfie with a quokka.

First up, we grabbed some hire bikes and pedalled around the island, stopping to cool down with a quick swim at Little Salmon Bay.

Then, as we rode up to Wadjemup Lighthouse in the middle of the island, we found them - two cute little quokkas living their best life posing for selfies with excited tourists. Mission accomplished.

We rode on through the lakes area and out to the stunning Pinkys Beach and Bathurst Lighthouse with its sweeping views back towards the Perth skyline.

Back in the village precinct we sat down for a few minutes to eat some snacks when an opportunistic little quokka decided Anthony’s lap looked like a comfy spot for a sit down. It caused quite a spectacle as it made itself comfortable while we tried to coax it off (without touching or feeding it as per the rules).

We ended a perfect day on 'Rotto' with happy hour overlooking Thompson Bay as we waited for our return ferry.Leer más
