tiabunna's photos with the keyword: Rottnest Island

Looking across the Indian Ocean from Rottnest Island to Perth, Western Australia. I was taken by the nearby waves on one of the adjoining reefs.

Quokkas are small macropod animals, related to kangaroos and wallabies, and found in south-western Australia. Sadly, their numbers have been greatly depleted by land development and feral animals. Rottnest Island is where most are now found and they are quite relaxed about being around people - hence this portrait (and PiP). I'm heading away for a while and likely to be largely offline for about a week. Best wishes, everyone.
