'The beaches on ‘Rotto’ are so breathtakingly beautiful with crystal clear water with some of the whitest sand I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to believe it’s only a short hop from the city of Perth. I loved the quokkas and I was lucky enough to snap my own ‘quokka selfie’. I’d recommend a visit for day or even longer – there’s so much to see and do!’
