Ok, without any excuse I kept you waiting more than 2 weeks now, sorry about that. Where do I start:
Rottnest Island is one of Perh’s most popular recreation areas. The island (10km long)is only a 25min trip away from Fremantle Harbour by ferry (50bucks). As soon as you approach the island, the water becomes far clearer than it is along the continental coastline, just look at the pictures and you’ll know what I mean. On the island itself there are no private vehicles allowed, so everybody brings either a bike or rents one there.
Rotto, as it’s called here got it’s name from some dutch sailors. They called it Rat-nest. I didn’t see any rat around though, instead the island is full of little animals called Quokkas (see pic) (they’re marsupiums like kangaroos).
Rottnest is great for snorkeling and for sunday afternoon walks. If you want to stay for several days (the last ferry leaves at 4pm) you can rent one of many houses. Hm…. I don’t want to say anything else, just look at the pictures, will ya?!?
