The Rottenest swim got cancelled.

Wondering if any teams went on regardless.
AIUI some swimmers come to Australia for the event.

Breaking: Iconic Rottnest Channel Swim cancelled due to poor weather

Perth's iconic Rottnest Channel Swim has been cancelled as forecast strong winds and unfavourable ocean conditions leaves thousands of swimmers and support crew disappointed.

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.

Oh come on, it's not the best island in Australia but it sure isn't the rottenest!

Katy Perry visits Rottenest Island and poses with a Quokka after RAC Arena Lifetimes tour stop

Katy Perry seems to be enjoying the sights of WA after her tour stop in Perth, sharing some photos of her and a smiley local marsupial.

It should be illegal for some animals to be this cute

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 🎉🎉🎉

What are land acknowledgements without land back? When you pay your respects to the dead whose descendants remain dispossessed, or recognise the “traditional owners” of the land that you now possess and reap as a gift of your modernity … whose voice is it that you hear?

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.

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