A massive thank you to all volunteers across Australia this and particularly those who have dedicated their time to caring for Wadjemup / Rottnest Island 🏝

From the voluntary guides sharing their knowledge to those doing hands-on environmental conservation, heritage preservation, emergency and rescue services, and everything in between, it’s the quiet hard work behind the scenes that protects the island’s environment, history, and spirit.

Love seeing these beautiful Southern Eagle Rays cruising so close to shore 😍 Keep your eyes peeled around the Thomson Bay shallows and jetties for them gliding by!

Nothing beats the West End on a crisp autumn day 🌊

The Ngank Wen Bidi is a 7.8km loop and a great way to explore the Western-most point of the island. It’s the perfect time of year to get out there and soak up the views while the weather is a bit cooler 🚶‍♂️
