A trip to Rottnest Island

Up early and a drive through the south of Perth to Fremantle (“Docker” territory) where by intuition we found the ferry terminal just in time to catch the next boat to the island. It was a rollercoaster ride of a trip (kids & Dad loved the belly-wackers, Mum not so impressed). Upon arrival we booked the bus tour, grabbed a coffee and jumped on. It was a really interesting tour and we all gleaned a very interesting insight into what the “Peoples Island” is all about. It was a tad cold in the wind (compared to what we are used to!) and a lot quieter than it would be in the height of summer.
The trip back was on a fantastically designed wave cutter boat (spectacular). A drive back through the city and then a visit for a quick hello to Uncle Don (who seems to be doing very well).
