“We went over to Rottnest on a very , very choppy day, ferry was a bit like a roller coaster ride but we got there safely. Thoroughly enjoyed the scenic cruise from Perth , commentary was excellent. Ferry was comfortable & on return journey the seas had settled somewhat & we enjoyed a coffee & a snack. Would do this again if in the west & just hope for better weather!”
