ROTTNEST ISLAND

Where Quokkas Smile and Adventure Beckons!

Home to more A-list celebrities than Hollywood and Byron Bay combined, the residents of Rottnest are so famous that even Thor himself queues for a selfie. So who lives in a place like this? 10,000 Quokkas of course. These cute happy little guys love Island life so much that they can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

Rottnest Island is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Perth. The easiest way to get there is by ferry and the easiest way to get around is by bike. The island is a cyclist’s haven with no cars, picturesque roads, and stunning backdrops.
