Rottnest Island WA

Hello how are you? Remember the last post on Rotto dated 27 Jan 2011. Well guess what, I have more to show! We know where Rotto in WA is so we'll just skip the location link and go straight to the photos!

Yup! That's right! The ticketting centre has moved from near where C-shed (refer to previous post please) is, into B-shed! It is air-conditioned, has a cafe, a modern look and much, much more. Makes me just wanna sit there in the cafe and enjoy waiting- for the boat to arrive: it's Rotto Express boat from B-shed Fremantle port to Rottnest Island. B-shed is just opposite of C-shed not very far from each other.

Boat has arrived and you can hire bike, snorkelling marterials and fishing gear to enjoy Rotto.
Inside Rotto Express!
You arrive at the Jetty and you can either head into the Island for sightseeing and doing lots OR you can join one of the speedboats (please enquire about ticketting when you're in B-shed) to tour around the Island.
Would you like to watch a video?
The video will show Rotto Express boat stopping at the Jetty on Rottnest Island, some of the beaches around the Island, the beautiful views and bouncy "castles" on one of the beaches for kids to play and jump on and dive into the ocean! How cool is that? It is such a pleasure to have an Island to enjoy which is so close to Perth and at the same time away from Perth from the fast pace of life.

                                 This video is best played on a desktop and/or a laptop computer.

During the video I said, "the chalets behind me" and the following photos show what they look like: pretty cool chalets to rent out with great ocean views to chill out and relax!


 In the same video there was a section on the bouncy "castles", here's a photo:
Okay are you excited yet? Are you wondering if you should come out to Rottnest Island or maybe you're wondering that you should visit WA?
The following photos tell us some other choices of accomodations available on the Island:

Despite the numerous accomodations available, I do suggest to find the one that most suits you.
