Rottnest Island 31st August 2010


We started off dry and ended up cold & wet! Our first day of miserable weather and it just happened to be on our trip to Rottnest Island. By the time we arrived at the island it was raining steadily, we had several minutes walk to catch the railcar up to Oliver Hill where we viewed the guns & underground tunnels that were built in 1935 to defend the port of Fremantle from enemy invasion. It is incredible how the tunnels were built all by hand without any machinery. My brain left me, blame the cold, I did'nt take any pictures underground! On returning from the Oliver Hill it was pelting down, had no choice so we headed back to the jetty area looking like drowned rats to get some lunch. We saw some Quokka's, one in particular was very friendly, Graham was feeding it chips!
