  1. I cycled out to West End again, this time with the camera charged. The first photo is a photo of the osprey stack taken at 400 mm focal length. The second is a crop showing two birds on the nest.

  3. @jamesh I do think not many people get to see how many and how active the quokkas are overnight. Granted, for tourists the cost and time required for a night stay on Rottnest is hard to justify. But it was a nice part of living in Perth for 30 years that I got to do that a few times.

    And of course it's one of those things less photographed - if at all, as I can't think of any photos that have depicted the lived experience I have in my memories.

  5. Not used it, but this looks like it could be useful. Of course having #Rottnest do something like that themselves would be better.

  7. The new workers' accommodation is under construction at #Rottnest. It feels like a lot of trees have been demolished, but the new area is supposedly being offset by buildings that have been demolished elsewhere and other land being returned to vegetation.

  8. Meanwhile, my kid is on Rottnest Island in Western Australia today. So have a picture that she took of a #quokka as a TL cleanse, everyone.

    She comes home from semester abroad in 3 weeks 🎉🎉🎉

    Quokkas are evil.

    Those beedy little black eyes, that oh-so-innocent smile, their cute little paws...

    You look into those eyes, and you see the soulless heart of a genocidal dictator. They are plotting our downfall, and it shall be cute.

  12. Bit of a faff getting bikes to the ferry on time, but we're on #Rottnest for a week now

    Here's a website that, to me at any rate, has "Sorry" as insufficient.

    What would be sufficient?
    I don't know.
    Asking Aboriginals could be a start.
    "Shut the place down for 20 years" might fit with the seriousness of the brutality.

  15. What I did on my holiday (and yes, I took that. Not shown - 101 not-great shots.)

  16. Think might have broken my children. Master 10 is sort of hunched over silent, miss 4 was up in the night with some bizarre cough that, I think, is due to the huge amount of sea water swallowed yesterday (taking her to nurse shortly).
    Lots of talk around the site about the tail end of Cyclone Ilsa hitting Friday, a lot of people deffo heading home tomorrow.

  17. Ocean dunked me pretty hard and back of my shoulder is all sand-grazed. But I had a lovely time at Pinky's beach just floating and bobbing about. Did laugh when a freak wave got some sunbathers wet.
    Some friends have come over for a day trip unexpectedly which is nice.

  18. Crows are quite brave at the bakery. Very nearly managed to boop one on the head with a wooden Spork

    Also, storm update, all survived yesterday's half-hour downpour. Including the group of Scouts that pitched up next door and seem pretty inexperienced at, well, most things. But they're here to learn

  19. Incoming storm so time to patch up the gazebo a little. It's old, it's knackered, owes me nothing - let's see if we get a bit more life out of it
    #Rottnest #QuokkaOnTour She'll be right

  20. In-camera #Cyanotype of the North Jetty at Thompson's Bay, Wadjemap ( #rottnest ) . Shot using a Rolleicord Va over 1 hour. Scanned with phone, and then reversed and luminosity inverted in #snapseed . Original is 6cmx6cm.

  21. Photo from a previous trip to Wadjemap. It would be nice to be there today, it's a warm one with the East wind blowing. #mermaid #merswim #rottnest #wadjemap #mermaiding #merfolk @rdm You took a lovely photo, thank you!

  22. #Rottnest has some new road names, correcting some wrong ones and introducing some new Noongar ones. #OpenStreetMap should be updated soon!
