🇦🇺 Perth Day Trip: Rottnest Island + Fremantle Adventure! 🌊🎡

🚢 Rottnest Island Escape 8:15 AM: Took the train from Perth Station to Fremantle Shed B. 9:30 AM: Ferry departed—10 AM island arrival! First stop: DOME Café (💰$65 for squid salad, beef burger, coffee & Coke—pricey but tasty!). 11:40 AM: Hopped on the island shuttle bus (pre-booked ticket, QR code scan + wristband system). Stops 5-6: Crystal-clear waters = Instagram overload! (⚠️ Too sunny to walk—take the bus!). 1:20 PM: Stop 19 = ice cream truck + dreamy beach. 2:15 PM: Back to Stop 1, hunted for quokkas (no luck—my only regret!). 2:30 PM: Ferry returned to Fremantle. 🎡 Fremantle Chill Time 3:00 PM: Explored Fremantle Markets (weekend vibes!). Sunset Park: Picnic + ocean views (bring a mat!). Dinner with a view: Beer + lobster near the Ferris Wheel. Golden hour magic: Locals dancing on the beach at sunset—pure joy! 💡 My Tips for You 1️⃣ Plan ahead! I scored $107/2 pax ferry tickets (saved $$$ by booking direct). 2️⃣ Island temps ≈ 5°C cooler than Perth—pack sunscreen & layers. 3️⃣ Quokka hunt? Try late afternoon (they’re snack-motivated then!). 4️⃣ Next time: I’d arrive at noon, snorkel + sunset ferry back—less rush, more zen! Final Verdict: Rottnest’s waters made me gasp out loud—worth every penny! Fremantle’s sunset? Unforgettable. #PerthTravel #RottnestIsland #QuokkaSelfieFail #FremantleSunset #WAWanderer #NoRegrets 🌊✨
