Rotto... - 01/06/'08

Rottnest Isle lies 19.5km west of Perth and has been part of my view since being here. Everyone talks about what a great excursion it is, but up until today, I hadn't taken the opportunity to visit






Last night, I realized that with only a few days left in Perth, it was either now or never






The timing, I think was perfect. The busy season was over and on top of that, the morning was dark and rainy in Perth, so no one seemed up to taking the ferry over to the isle. So happy it was that way, as just when I arrived at the island, the clouds parted and it was sunny and warm for the remainder of the day - plus the island was essentially deserted






I only had a few hours, so after a great lil' lunch, I rented a bike (worst in the world, I'm certain) and headed off in search of interesting sights and secluded beaches






Here's some pics from the adventure, my favorite being the view across the shallow lake to the lighthouse - a classically romantic image









Was a great, quiet and relaxing day - kinda felt like a deserted Mediterranean Island







Beautiful...
