Today’s story is called ‘Shouting Shells and Ocean Spells’. It's about an angry shell who finds an object in her bay which does not belong there! But the object ends up having a special power. What could the mystery object be? Who will find it and what will it do??? Let’s find out!
Well today we are off to my favourite holiday spot, Wajemup, Rottnest Island.
Rottnest Island is about 20km from the mainland. It takes just 20 minutes on a ferry to get there from Freo and about 45 minutes from Hillary’s.
Rottnest is an amazing and popular holiday spot but it does have a sad history. After WA was colonised, European settlers actually used Wadjemup as a prison. Thousands of aboriginal boys and men were sent there and the conditions that they faced were not great. Far from it. It is important to keep an open mind and open heart, to have compassion for all people and seek a deeper understanding of our history. There are opportunities on the island to learn more and show your respect to those who were mistreated and lost their lives.
A trip to Rotto will see you munching on a jam donut from the bakery, spotting quokkas, snorkelling on some amazing reef and riding around to find the day’s perfect swimming spot. And if you’e lucky you’ll get some crayfish for dinner! In the evenings you might see the resident Eagle Ray gliding through Geordie Bay around sunset and after dinner you can head down to the jetty with your head torch for a little fish and more quokka spotting on the way home.
