We really had hoped to visit Australia this year. And the west coast is an area we have yet to explore. We certainly plan to visit Perth. So I now know we need to add a trip to Rottnest Island if we are in the area. The beautiful blue waters would definitely call to us. It would be fun to do the tour of Wadjemup and learn more about the history of the island.

In reply to Susanne. It really was incredibly empty, which was amazing! I went during the off season (in winter) on a weekday, so I'm sure that made a difference. I heard from locals that the Perth area isn't normally sunny like this during the winter, but I guess I lucked out!

In reply to trimmtravels. Thanks so much, Heather! The quokka selfies are adorable, especially since they look like they're smiling if you can capture them from the front. But I was so enthralled by the mothers carrying the babies in their pouches that I just kept clicking away. I probably spent half an hour at least taking pictures of them; they're too cute to walk away from!

In reply to Neha. The food options on Rottnest Island are pretty limited, unfortunately. There are a couple of cafes near The Settlement, and there's "Lexi's on Rotto" in the center of the island, but that's it.

In reply to Snazzytrips. Thanks so much! I didn't know that the quokkas can climb trees! The way they move on the ground makes it look like they wouldn't be able to, but it makes sense since they eat the leaves and would need a way to get them :)

These all look so beautiful! I was trying to pick a favorite while going through the list, but they all look amazing. Is it weird that I think the giant cranes at the docks in Fremantle look like giraffes? I also love the idea of Rottnest only allowing bikes and government cars; great way to keep you moving while visiting!

Rottnest Island is gorgeous! I’ve never visited Australia but I’ve read so much about their amazing beaches. I’d love to holiday there. I think I’d be spending my time at the Basin at Pinky Beach. There’s just something about the Basin area that calls me. I’d definitely check out others too though. I’d love to take a bike around part of the island and visit the lighthouses.

As I have seen Sydney and Melbourne and I can really judge that Australia has some of the world’s best beaches, I can guess that there are many too in western part too. Rottnest Island in Western Australia looks perfect as the water is clear and have perfect blue shade. It is really interesting to go near the lakes at Digby Drive, as it crosses over the water, and then separating into two lakes. Thanks for sharing some unique place in Australia.

Pinky Beach gets my vote for the most beautiful and they have that cool lighthouse near it. Wow, your photos are stunning! The marsupials are freaking adorable!! If I would get the desire to visit Australia my husband would be so happy. It has just never been on my radar but you do entice me with these awesome photos.

Some really great photos here of Rottnest Island. I’ve been to WA but not Rottnest Island. I need to go and check it out. I love your video of Fish Hook Bay by the way. Little Salmon Bay looks so inviting with the different shades of blue water. Just beautiful. The Quokkas are pretty cute. Did you know they can climb trees?
