Activities, Excursions of Rottnest Island (Australia).

Australia is the country/continent "down-under". It is completely surrounded by water and - except for the coastal regions - a huge desert (Red Center). Main tourist attractions are the Great Barrier Reef (Cairns), the Great Ocean Road, Ayers Rock (Alice Springs), Sydney and all the magnificent wildlife (in particular birds and reptiles). Melbourne is very sport oriented and Tasmania is proud to have the "best air". Having a BBQ on the beach on Christmas day is normal in Australia, but quite special to most northern visitors.

Rottnest Island is a small island off the coast of Fremantle. You can bicycle here, spend time on sandy beaches and dunes, and look for quokkas, tiny kangaroos.
