WA-Perth/Rotnest

8/9/2016 WA -Perth -Rotnest Is.

Up early to light breakfast and a walk to the pick-up point for the transfer bus to the Ferry. All went well despite the cold, overcast weather. Seamless transfer to the Ferry with a bumpy ride across to Rotnest. Again a seamless transfer to the Island tour bus. Said goodbye to the bike-riders who looked decidedly chilly. Surprisingly diverse coastline/seascape. Much like Shark Bay where there was low sandy beaches but also rocky reefs and ocean coastline. Waves were spectacular at West Point. Back in Perth by 7.30pm and had a quick self-catered dinner.

Essentially I have now completed the Tropical/Sub-tropical retracement of Baudin’s Voyage (as per my project proposal). The weather has been cold (and wet on occasion) but has not hampered the trip in any way.


Checked with reception re a possible tour for tomorrow but too late to book, try again in morning.
