Besides working, we did a few small daytrips around Perth.
1) Rottnest Island: an island situated near the coast which we explored by bicycle; jihaaa! It was an active but at the same time verrrry chillaxing day; just biking from one desolated beach to another, hills up and
down fighting against the heavy wind, doing some snorkelling , getting to know the quokka's (a kind of walibi that only lives at Rottnest),...
Small history of the Island: The Dutch sailor Willem de Vlamingh who upon arrival
mistakenly took the Islands quokkas for giant rats and accordingly gave it the
name Rottnest (“rat's nest”).
I was about to make a joke on Dutch people, but I
don’t think Willem de Vlamingh would have been a Dutchman after 1830.

2) Penguin island
This is a very small island where the smallest penguin in the world, a lot of birds and some sea lions live. Not very much to say about it :)
