We just returned from a trip to Perth, Rottnest Island, Margaret River and Scarbourgh Beach, Australia. The trip was fantastic. Today I am mostly posting photos from the early part of the trip, when we were at Rottnest. We camped, swam and biked- it was really fantastic. This photo was taken on a ferry between Perth and Freemantle, since it was summer there, we wore hats and lots of sunscreen.  

This is a Quokka that was under our table when we stopped to have an ice cream. Quokkas are native to Rottnest Island and they have the run of the place.  

She loved the tent. This photo was taken just after we put it up and she climbed inside to practice resting. 

Naptime 

Reading a book during naptime. 

We went for bike ride around a small section of the island. 

What a great bicycle tour!

Coolup, a tiny little town between Perth and Margaret River. 

We spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day (Dec. 26th) at Scarborough Beach, just north of Perth.
