History of Rottnest Island

•   More than 500,000 people
    visit Rottnest Island each year.
•   The Island is 11 kilometres
    long, 4.5 kilometres at its
    widest point, and the land
    area measures 1,900 hectares.
•   It is a 24km ride around the
    Island. Allow at least 2.5 hours
    for a leisurely cycle.
•   First records of human
    occupation are from more
    than 6,500 years ago when the
    Island was still attached to the
    mainland. Since its initial
    European exploration from the
    17th Century and its
    settlement in 1829, Rottnest
    Island has been through a
    number of stages of
    development and has been
    used for a variety of purposes.

Keep Safe this Weekend!
Bikes are great fun and an
awesome way to explore with
friends. However last year the
nursing post treated nearly 500
bicycle injuries so please note:

• WA road rules apply on Rotto
• Bicycle helmets are compulsory
• Always ride on the left side of
  the road in single or double file
• Wear lights at night
• Stay on designated roads and
  cycle tracks
• Be cautious on declines
• Always carry water with you
• Do not ride bikes, scooters,
  skateboards or rollerblades
  through the mall.
