Rottnest Island

We visited the home of the quokka!

Rottnest Island is a popular spot, just off the coast of Perth.

It's usually reached by a ferry, but we decided to be fancy and went by light plane instead. Cue the amazing views of Perth!

Rottnest is the home of the quokka - a small marsupial related to the kangaroo and wallaby. The Dutch explorers thought they were huge rats, hence the name "rat nest".
