Rottnest Island, Western Australia

I love animals and Quokka is the cutest little thing in this world that I want to see. They are originally from Rottnest Island, Western Australia. Just like kangaroos, quokkas also have pouches for their joeys. They must only eat the leaves from the trees in Rottnest Island. This friendly quokka was begging me to take some leaves for him.

Met this Friendly Quokka

Oh baby I really want to pick you up but I don't want to get fined

To find friendly quokkas was not that easy actually, most of them are very shy and reserved. Not many wants to get selfie with you LOL...
So, I truly recommend you to join Quokka Guided Walk. This 45 minute walking tour departs daily from the meeting post at 2:15pm. I did find more friendly quokkas from joining this guided walk.
Not so friendly but photogenic

Curious Quokka

At first, I thought Rottnest Island only had Quokka as the main attraction. But lo and behold, the island also has beautiful beaches around the island. To get around the island, you can join the hop on hop off bus. The adult ticket costs 20 AUD and you can easily get it from Visitor Centre.

Rottnest Island also have Pink Lake, although it was not as pink as the famous Lake Hillier.
