Rotto is a great place to visit. Was last there just a week ago with my grandson. The bike hire can be a bit of a lottery; that time the gears on mine kept slipping! The quokkas are so cute, when they are tired they just go to sleep anywhere! However, they can be a nuisance; always trying to enter buildings and cafes, etc., - you will notice that there are no food scraps on the ground anywhere because island staff are always cleaning it up before the quokkas get to it. Glad that you got your selfies (and didn't feed them). Also thanks for acknowledging the Noongar heritage of the island.
Looked like a bumpy ride over how was it on the way back ? It’s quite choppy in the arvo. Rotto is a cool place. Didn’t see any pelicans ? They’re big buggers hey.
Less bumpy going back later in the day for sure. I think we were too tired to notice though 😅 next time, I'll be happy to just take it to Freo and hop on the train. This was filmed in October so I wasn't sure what we'd see out there or when but the island is a really cool place.
Feeding the quokkas is off limits, but they do love the leaves from the big fig trees which are generally out of reach. Should a few leaves accidentally on purpose depart the tree and come to hand, a quokka might accidentally eat said leaves from your hand. It's a natural food source for the quokkas.
Have you had the chance to take a quokka selfie? Are you hoping to??
You guys are so laid back, unofficial Aussies. Your videos are so pleasant to watch. I subscribed to your TH-cam channel
that was an amazing trip. thank you guys
I spent a week on Rotto with my work in 1988. Had a great time. Quokkas used to hop into our chalet all the time.
I would've loved to stay! I bet they still do that now, some are pretty cheeky haha
Awww the Quokka was so cute!

Agreed about the bike hire lottery, I think we just got lucky enough. Thanks for the comment!

Quokkas are also found on mainland WA
That makes me happy to hear.

They look like miniature kangaroos 🤩🤩
Same family!
