Discover Rottnest Island (Wadjemup)
Rottnest Island, known as Wadjemup to the Whadjuk Noongar people, lies 18 km off Fremantle. It’s car-free, ringed by 63 beaches and 20 bays, and fringed by some of the clearest water on the West Australian coast.
It’s also the best place on earth to meet a quokka. In 1696, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh mistook the little marsupials for large rats and named the island ‘Rotte nest’ – rat’s nest. From the air you’ll also see the island’s pink salt lakes, reefs and historic lighthouse.
Must-See in Rottnest Island
- Quokkas – Rottnest’s famously friendly locals
- The Basin and Pinky Beach – perfect for swimming and snorkelling
- Wadjemup Lighthouse
- Cape Vlamingh and the island’s west end
- The pink salt lakes – best seen from above
