Island
Visits
- 2023-04-04: We took the early boat to Rottnest Island, and we walked around waiting for our cabin to be ready. After awhile, we decided it would be better to get some bicycles.
- 2023-04-05: We rode our rental bikes most of the way around the island before catching the ferry back to Perth.
