19.01.2022 Winter weekends on Rotto... space for you to explore, relax and feel like you have the whole island to yourself. Why not enjoy a bit of island life this winter? While the breeze is certainly cooler, it’s a great time to follow the #WadjemupBidi trails and find yourself on a secluded beach. Or hire a bike from #PedalAndFlipper and ride from bay to bay with incredible views along the way. Hint: This one’s Pinky Beach. And after a day exploring, enjoy a quieter moment and c...osy up with a hot cup of coffee, or a hearty meal at one of our cafés or restaurants throughout the Settlement or Geordie Bay. It’s the perfect time to get out and explore. : @0leah0 (IG) #RottnestIsland

18.01.2022 BRB we’re spending the day here. We're so happy this yellow beauty is back sailing our crystal clear waters for the summer season! The Capella is a Rottnest Island icon. With 12.5 metres of luxury catamaran, you can join a snorkel or sunset tour with the Charter 1 team to see the island from a different perspective. ... #SailAwayWithMe

17.01.2022 From where you’d rather be. This here is Little Parakeet Bay. Just a short cycle from Geordie Bay and with less crowds, white sand, and crystal clear waters in every kind of blue you can imagine, it's one of our favourite spots on the island. by @larkshots (IG)

13.01.2022 #TrueBlue With clear waters in every shade of blue you can imagine, a short bike ride takes you to untouched beaches, away from the crowds for that perfect piece of paradise on Rottnest Island. by @theessentialistblog (IG)

12.01.2022 Sometimes you only need a quick zip around the island to get your Rottnest fix. Next time you're visiting, why not book a bite-sized tour with Segway Tours WA - perfect for squeezing in some outdoor exploration before you're back in the shelter of one of the pubs, cafes or restaurants on the island. : @ospreycreative (IG)... #RottnestIsland

12.01.2022 The perfect place to welcome in a new year. by @notjustreflections (IG)

10.01.2022 This is the West End - Rottnest Island’s most western point. Full of rugged beauty, this rocky headland is one of the best spots for spotting native animals and sea life. Our tip: head to the Cathedral Rocks viewing platform for a chance to see a pod of dolphins or our resident colony of native New Zealand Fur Seals. by @jessicablaise (IG)

09.01.2022 Yep, this is real! Did you know that the waters around Rottnest Island are home to 25 species of colourful coral?

08.01.2022 Today’s forecast: a perfect Rotto day. Ride a little further out to Salmon Bay and enjoy another stretch of untouched beaches. Head to the northern area and you may even spot a pod of our playful bottlenose dolphins! by @ospreycreative (IG)

07.01.2022 Spreading smiles and happiness on #WorldKindnessDay Take a hint from the happiest animal on Earth and keep on smiling not just today, but every day. #GetQuokkaHappy by @cambojones2020 (IG)

04.01.2022 Nothing beats a sunset at Rotto, especially one as breathtaking as this! With Charter 1 back after the holidays and the ferries offering late evening returns, you can even soak up that golden glow on the iconic yellow catamaran 'Capella' with plenty of time for dinner or drinks on the island before returning home. How good is that?! Did we mention that there's also no admission fees to the island when you travel by same-day ferry return after 2pm? Summer nights = sorted. ...

03.01.2022 Welcome to our underwater playground... Believe it or not, winter provides us with some ideal conditions for diving and snorkelling our underwater wonderland, with the warm Leeuwin current keeping the waters around Rotto only a few degrees colder than summer. Plus, with crystal clear water and plenty of marine life to see, we'd say it's time to whip out the wetsuit and get exploring. : @_ryanchatfield... #RottnestIsland

02.01.2022 Did you know that Rottnest Island has its very own daisy? This Australian native wildflower has a distinctive periwinkle blue blossom. But don’t let its delicate appearance fool you! This flower thrives on our coastal, limestone plains and dunes. Flowering from October to January, now’s the perfect time to visit to see this beauty in full bloom.... #WildflowerWednesday #GetQuokkaHappy #RottnestIsland

02.01.2022 Did you know the traditional name for Rottnest Island in the Noongar language is Wadjemup, which means ‘place of spirits’? The traditional owners, the Whadjuk Noongar People, have an enduring cultural and spiritual connection with the island. Up until 6,500 years ago, they walked this land and once the island was cut off from the mainland by rising sea-levels, Wadjemup continued to feature in significant Nyitting (Dreaming) stories and in songlines that reach throughout the s...tate and into the Northern Territory. The island is also a place of great significance to Aboriginal communities across Western Australia as the resting place of approximately 400 of the 4,000 men and boys known to have been imprisoned on the Island during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This week, in recognition of NAIDOC week, we encourage you to take time to learn more about the cultural significance of Wadjemup: Visit the West End. This area is closely associated with Koorinup, which is said to connect this world and the next. A section of the Wadjemup Bidi trail which leads down to Cathedral Rocks tells the Nyitting (Dreamtime) story of Koorinup, through interpretive artwork and audio yarns. Visit the yarn bombing installation by the Kookaburra Club, located outside the Visitor Centre, or the photographic exhibition at Lomas Cottage. Check out the online exhibition at alwayswadjemup.com As part of Rottnest Island Authority’s partnership with the WA Museum Boola Bardip, two films from the exhibition will also be played on the big screen Yagan Square in Perth.
