Huyen,Mai,Leo - Travelling around WA

We will show you some places to visit in WA.There is Rottnest Island, Penguin Island, Pinnacles, Fremantle, Cottesloe and Pinnacles.
Rottnest island is one of the most famous places in Australia. There are some Quokkas which are small and similar to rats. They are cute but you shouldn't touch them because they are dirty. The views are absolutely beautiful. You can hire a bicycle and ride around the island, yet there are a lot of hills, so it makes you exhausted. Be careful about snakes on the beaches. It costs around $100 including bicycle hire. You can catch a ferry to get there at Barrack St Jetty near the bell tower or Fremantle Jetty.
Penguin island is in Rockingham. You can go there by train at platform 2, it takes around 30 minutes. It costs about $30 for a return ticket.If you want to see sealions, you should spend more than $30 so you can walk to the island without the ferry because the sea isn't deep. I recommend you bring your own food and water, for it is very expensive there.
Fremantle and Cottesloe are the most famous and visited places in WA because many tourists go to Fremantle to buy souvenirs and to eat fish and chips. I'd recommend you go to Cicerellos where there is the most popular fish and chips. If you want to swim or surf, you should go to Cottesloe because it is absolutely superb and you can't miss the sunset.
The Pinnacles are about 280 kilometers north of Perth.When you go there, it looks like spikes coming out of the earth! You can have a picnic with your friends there, even you can drive inside all of those pinnacles, that is amazing, don't miss this place. One day trip for this place is the better. In fact, in summer, you can suffing there, but other times, nothing very interesting around those pinnacles, there is a small town, you can't see many people even in noon, and the food there is expensive. And the tickets to go inside the pinnacles is really cheap, 11 dollars for a car. Even though it is far to go there, it is worth it.
