Rotnest is a small island ten k's off Fremantle.  West Australians love to holiday on the Island. There are  mooring sights for pleasure craft and holiday chalets for hire.  Cycling,snorkling and fishing are very popular with holiday makers.  The pelican pictured became very interested in us when we were catching herring off the back of the boat while moored in Thomson Bay.   The crayfish were very abundant  on the south side of the Island and we put our pots in at Strickland Bay.   Bad weather forced us home but we had managed to have 7 great days of swimming, paddling and generally chilling out.
