Rottnest Island

Yesterday we went on a boat trip to Rottnest Island, not one to do things the usual way, rather than a boozy tourist thing, we got up at 5 am, and went and picked up our hired 7 m fishing boat, and headed off on slightly choppy waves arriving just over an hour after we set off.

We then proceeded to find 3 very nice beaches, the first, at just after 8.30, was nice and quiet, as a bonus we swam with dolphins! Well, nearly!

no-where was over touristed, the beaches were fine-sanded and clean, and my new underwater housing for my camera worked well.

Highly recommended as a destination, and a way to get there, even if the wind did pick up and I felt a bit rough on the way home!
