Rottnest is Dutch for Rats Nest. When the Dutch were floating around Western Australia in the 1600's, they thought the Quokka's were giant rats. Rottnest also has a dark history. It was a working prison for Aboriginal prisoners from 1838 to 1931. It was pretty brutal. Lovely little island with some stunning little bays. There are a couple of little islands near Rottnest that have seals on them.

@@TheMacMaster We call the breeze the Fremantle Doctor because it appears to come from the nearby coastal city of Fremantle, (obviously it doesn’t only come from there) and it brings welcome relief from the summertime high temperatures, also you were on the Indian ocean, in the summer the temperatures can be around 22/23 degrees, most quokka’s mainly hang around anywhere there’s food.

Having watched your videos from Australia, I have a feeling of sadness. I will be 70 this year and never in my life had any inclination to either visit or indeed live in Australia. I have lived in England and Ireland, I lived in Japan for a few months many years ago and spent 2 years living and working in New York. I now live in Ukraine - not my best move! Your videos have shown Australia, and in particular Perth, in a completely fresh light. If I were 30 or 40 years younger, I would seriously consider relocating to this wonderful area. By comparison it paints the UK in a very poor light in terms of the quality of living and the condition of the towns and cities - never mind the weather. Enjoy the rest of your visit.

Great vlog Lee, high quality, great editing & nice music. I'm not sure if most of the viewers would realise that the first 15 minutes of your journey out of Perth were down the swan river, yes the dolphins were in the river & they live/visit & breed there very well, not many places in the world can say that so close to a city. On Rottnest you followed the bitumen & passed by most of the signs, they are there to direct you to the best beaches & clear water, you missed most of the best areas. You must be the only person not to go in or near the ocean on Rottnest! ever! lol🤣 What about the pub/hotels & bakery, there are loads of Quokkas always there. you missed them too.

My tip for ice cold water for hours is to freeze it overnight. 1st bottle freeze 3/4 full & top up before go out next day, for immediate use, 2nd leave full when freezing. Use later. Iced cold drinks for literally hrs. Obviously no good in hotel, but many self catering places have an ice box in the fridge. This trip has really highlighted your cam/edit skills.

Lee, a little suggestion if you don't mind. When it's that hot out, you should be wearing a white, lose fitting cotton t-shirt. and white shorts. It's too hot to wear a dark colored knit polo shirt and dark shorts. I never heard of Quokkas before, I had to look them up. Apparently, there are very few of them in the world and the biggest population are on that island. You're not supposed to interact with them and definitely not try to bet them. They are known to rarely but occasionally bite and they can carry salmonella. You should get a couple of stuffed Quokkas for Harriet and James. Great Video!

You got it right in one. Dutch sea captain Willem de Vlamingh landed on the island, giving it the famous name of Rottnest Island. This means 'rat's nest' in Dutch, as he mistook the island's abundant quokka population for giant rats. Despite its prominence, it took until 1831 before any large presence was established on Wadjemup.

Hope your well Lee.. just thought I would suggest an idea for you and Geoff buys cars to do a video where one of you do a long journey in an EV and the other does the same on public transport to see which is quicker and cheaper. Loving the Aussie series ❤

As a small child we I took all of my primary school swimming classes in the Swan river amongst the jellyfish (and blowfish/puffer fish and cobblers). Teachers would stand on the jetty shouting at the shoals of little 7 year olds “you can’t swim if you don’t put your face in the water” . I really wouldn’t have minded if it was just water I was putting my face into.

Like that City of York ship's anchor you filmed, we found one too. On our way to Queensland we sailed via the Coral Sea, an amazing place of thousands of reefs, perfect for diving. We stayed there for a couple of days, weather was a bit crappy but on the last day we did a final dive. That's when we found a huge anchor, like yours, from about 1800/1850. There was still a timber cross-tree left holding the flukes into the seabed. We got the lift-bags out and gently raised to the surface and the craned it onto deck. When we got to QLD, we donated it to the Cairns Yacht Club. Hope it;s still on their lawn.

Hi Mac, I just thought you'd like to know, QWOKKA'S are marsupials, so are not rodents. The females have pouches similar to kangaroos,wallabies etc.

Another great video. You did amazingly well on that bike, I would have had to have the electric!! Can you tell me what music you were playing, especially the songs with vocals. Loved it! From one pom to another, you should head to Queensland next time, it is an amazing state from the Gold Coast to the far north tropics. If you loved Rottnest, you will love the Whitsunday Islands, paradise on earth. And . . . much, much more. Hope you can tell me about the music. 😃
