Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Rottnest Island







We spent the weekend at Rottnest or "Rotto" as the locals call it. It is such a charming place. We snorkelled and took the kids on a glass bottomed boat tour- quite cool for them. Smith provided fun and frolic on saturday for the Smith Family Christmas Party. A great time was had by all. Rotto is neat because you can't drive so you either have to walk, bike or take the local island bus to get around. We spotted quokkas with their joeys...mini marsupials that the island is famous for- as well as an abundance of peacocks wandering about...The kids loved that the peacocks kept wandering in and out of the ice cream shop. Note the pic of Bronto enjoying a full on ice cream high. The Island has a laid back atmosphere and the beautiful thing is it is only a 25 minute boat ride from Fremantle. We look forward to heading back with Michelle and Tony Dec 22-24!
