About 15 kilometers from Fremantle (which is a 20 minute train-ride from Perth) lies Rottnest Island. The island ist only 11 kilometers long and approximately 5 kilometers wide. It represents a good spot for a daytrip or some longer holidays. Private cars are forbidden on the island which is why almost everyone hires a bike there and cycles around. So did we:





„Rotto“, as the locals call it, is perfect for swimming and snorkeling – the water is very shallow and all over the island you can find awsome lonely beaches and bays. I had a hot and sunny day there on Wednesday (cycling on the island) and a cool and tenseful one yesterday (diving around the island). It`s definitely worth a visit.
