Rottnest Island, Perth

Here are a few pics from a few weeks back when we were in Perth and a group of us headed to Rottest Island. There was meself, Tara, Gill (x2), Louise, Mike, Kevin and another bloke whose name now escapes me.

Tara throwing some shapes with my shades.

A Quokka. They've no natural predators on the island so they thrive here like nowhere else. European introduced cats and foxes have decimated their population elsewhere in Western Australia. They've got a tail like a rat's which, upon seeing them, made Dutch mariners think they were rats - hence Rottnest Island.

The brains trust discuss the direction.

Louise and...I've feckin forgotten his name - he's from Youghal, which narrows it down a bit.

Tandems are cheesy but they're actually good fun.
