Rottnest Island Essentials

Rottnest Island features a landscape of turquoise bays and unique saline lakes, including Lake Baghdad and Government House Lake. This selection highlights its navigational history through the Wadjemup and Bathurst Lighthouses and its military past at Oliver Hill. Visitors can explore maritime heritage at the Salt Store and Pilots Boatshed or visit swimming spots like The Basin and Pinkie Beach. The car-free island is accessible by ferry and is the primary habitat of the quokka.
