Off to Rotto

If you get a chance to head over to Western Australia you must visit Rottnest Island. ( Meaning Rats nest as coined by the Dutch When the discovered the island) Its only 18 km from Perth and is a small enough to walk around in a day but can keep you entertained for at least a few. The ferry left from Fremantle and is only $53AUD return which isnt too bad. Once on the island you can hire bikes or just walk around as you please. It definetly boasts some of the most amazing white beaches ive ever seen and are alot of the time completly empty for ultimate seclusion. There are camp sites as well as a hostel and cheap bungalows for 4-8 people. The most amazing aspect of the Island is the animal which dwells upon it. Its name is the Quokka which comes from Aboriginal it resembles a large rat but is in fact a marsupial closely related to the kangaroo. They used to live on the mainland in the west but due to rabbits and foxes are now completly extinct everywhere but on this island. They are everywhere and alot more pleasant than rats i will say that much. Overall, spent two days enjoying the amazing flora and fauna of this amazing island and im sure ill one day be there again.
