Rottnest Island Essentials

Rottnest Island, known as Wadjemup to the Whadjuk Noongar people, features a mix of maritime history, unique wildlife, and coastal landscapes. This selection highlights the island's dual lighthouses—the 1849 Wadjemup and the scenic Bathurst—alongside natural landmarks like the saline Government House Lake and the sheltered waters of The Basin. Heritage sites include the WWII-era military installations at Oliver Hill and the Wadjemup Museum, which documents the island's colonial and Aboriginal history. The car-free terrain allows for quiet exploration of viewpoints and white-sand beaches.
