Adventure on Rottnest Island

Today's adventure was a trip to Rottnest Island, known affectionately by the natives as "Rotto". Rotto is a small island off the coast of Western Australia that has been used as an aboriginal penal colony, a military base and a vacation getaway.

Check out the Perth horizon from the shore of Rotto.



Rotto's most famous residents are the quokkas, a furry little marsupial roughly the size of a rabbit.


When Rottnest Island was first discovered, 70% of it was covered in forest the majority of it being this type of tree.

Check out the wicked undergrowth the early explorers had to hack through to get anywhere!!!

A beautiful little bay on the far west end of the island.


A pod of about 20 dolphins cavorting in the surf.


Dinosaurs discovered on the way back to Fremantle.
