The Dutch called it Rottnest or rats nest due to the many large rats. The quokkas are cute and kind of funny looking, little over sized rats. We took our bikes and went on a 50km bike ride. What a corker of a day, we even went snorkeling in our new wet suits.

Rottnest is a brilliant island, about 10 kilometre long and can be circled on a bicycle in a few hours. There were supposed to be great diving and snorkeling spots. The visibility was not that great on the day even though it was a spectacular day. We only saw 1 coral. There are heaps of organised diving tours from Rotty… look forward to doing one.
