You can pet kangaroos and koalas here! Although there are not as many animal species as Perth zoo, you can get up close to these unique Australian animals.

Free maps of the Swan Valley are available at the Visitor Centre in Guildford. Unfortunately, public transportation is not very convenient, so it is best to drive there.

It is a small island suitable for short trips of 1-3 days. In addition to the colorful saltwater lakes and beautiful sea views, there are also cute little creatures unique to Western Australia called "quokkas" living on the island. You can rent a bicycle to travel around the island or take a leisurely stroll on the trails. It takes about 45 minutes to travel from the city center (Perth city) or Fremantle Harbour by boat. Rottnest Island, located 18 kilometers northwest of Perth Fremantle, is a great leisure destination for Perth residents and travelers. The whole island has 63 beaches, 20 bays, and many lakes. People who have been to Rottnest Island cannot help but admire the beaches on the island. The beaches on the island are peaceful and the white sand is so clean that people hesitate to step on it with shoes. Travelers can snorkel, swim, or participate in water sports. In addition to the beaches, there are also golf courses, tennis courts, and a history museum on the island. The things in the supermarket on the island are relatively expensive compared to Perth, so travelers can bring their own food from Perth. Of course, there are also cafes, fast food restaurants, restaurants, and bars on the island. The accommodations on the island include hostels, hotels, and resort-style villas. Due to the small size of the island and the large number of travelers, it is necessary to book hotels in advance during peak holiday seasons. Another major highlight of the island is the special species called quokkas. Most of these animals live on Rottnest Island, and a few live on another small island in Australia, with almost none on the Australian mainland. It is generally easy to find them on the island, but there may be cases where you don't see them if you are unlucky. Pay attention to observing in bushes and shaded areas because quokkas are more afraid of heat. They are also commonly seen where people dine, and you can see them standing on their hind legs, looking like they want food from you. They are very cute, but please do not feed them. This is to maintain the wildness of the quokkas, and feeding them is strictly prohibited on the island.

The Pinnacles is located in Nambung National Park, 245 kilometers north of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. The park is filled with peculiar-shaped limestone columns, creating a unique landscape in the desert. These limestone spires, ranging from 1.5 feet to the size of a finger, resemble the formations on ancient battlefields, hence the name "The Pinnacles". Like many geological wonders in Australia, such as Uluru, The Pinnacles have undergone dramatic changes over geological ages. An ancient forest was submerged in the sea and covered by sand and gravel. The tree stumps and roots gradually mineralized under specific conditions. After another cycle of changes, this ancient forest resurfaced and formed land again, which is now Nambung National Park. Over time, erosion caused by rain, wind, and sunlight has gradually exposed the mineralized tree stumps, creating the geological wonder of "The Pinnacles".
