Introduction

Rottnest Island is a small island that is perfect for short trips. In addition to the colorful saltwater lakes and beautiful sea views, the island is also home to Australia's unique and adorable "short-tailed dwarf kangaroo". Travelers can rent bicycles to travel around the island or stroll along the paths. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the island by boat from the city or Fremantle Harbour. The whole island has 63 beaches, 20 bays and some small lakes, with clean and quiet beaches. Travelers can swim, snorkel or do water sports on the island's beaches. In addition, there are golf courses, tennis courts, and historical museums on the island. Food on the island is relatively expensive compared to Perth, so travelers can bring their own food, or visit cafes, fast food restaurants, restaurants, and bars. Travelers can choose accommodation such as hostels, hotels, or villa-style hotels, but as the island is small and filled with many visitors, it is necessary to book in advance during holidays. There is also a special attraction on the island - the Quokka. These animals mainly live on Rottnest Island, with a few living on another small island in Australia, and they are almost extinct on the Australian mainland. Travelers can see cute Quokkas on the island, but please do not feed them to maintain their wild nature.
