1997-11-20 Trip to Rottnest Island
Went to Rottnest Island. Took the bicycles and rode
around the island. Good riding with no cars but plenty of wind. Saw
and sere annyed by the quokkas. They are exactly like 1/2 meter
rats with kangaroo-like legs and faces. They hop very slowly around
unless a wierd noise makes them run. We were having a picnic lunch
outside the general store and five came to beg. Since they were
putting their paws on our knees, we ate sitting on top of the
picnic table. There is quokka shit everywhere.
Checked out the nude beach at Parakeet Bay. Only
6 people there (including us) and none nude (except us). Weather
stated to cloud over and rain a bit. Ch. felt ill after lunch. La
chie vite a commencé.
