Rottnest Island

We took a boat out to Rottnest Island, off the coast of western Australia. It was named by the Dutch who arrived on a ship and determined that the island was uninhabitable since it was infested by rats, hence the name "Rot" (rat) Nest Island. It turns out that the rats that scared them off were actually miniature kangaroos called "Quokas". To this day there are no cars on the island so we biked around and were delighted to meet the furry little inhabitants that were hopping around!
