Today was Rottnest (Dutch for Rat’s Nest) Island (also called Rotto) day. Have I mentioned that the weather has been absolutely spectacular? The high is about 78, clear blue skies, maybe a few fair-weather-cumulus; just stunning weather. I’m sure it can’t last but we’ll enjoy it while we can.
The catamaran ferry takes about 30 minutes and on the island they have a Bayseeker Bus that goes all around the island (about 11km long by 5km wide) and will drop and pick up and any of the multitude of bays—hence, Bayseeker Bus. We did the whole route checking out where we wanted to spend an hour or so and chose the Lighthouse because of the spectacular views of Perth and Fremantle. It’s a short hike up the hill (700m) and you can see forever!
