Rottnest Island
On Monday I did a daytrip to Rottnest Island with Leo and Ingmar (two study colleagues of mine). It is just a 30 minute ferry ride away from Perth.
We enjoyed a beautiful day there and cycled around the whole island.
The beaches are really amazing. The island is quite huge and there are not many people there.
The reason the island is named like that are the animals living there - the Quokkas. They look a little bit like rats that's why the Dutch explorer who discovered Rottnest called the island that way - like rat's nest.
You can find more pictures in the album.

Trip around Australia
During the mid-semester break (21st of September - 4th of October) my study colleague Uli spontaneously visited and we did a trip around Australia - in just 2 weeks! :)
First we went to Ayers Rock for 3 nights, then moved on to tropical Cairns to see the Rainforest an Great Barrier Reef. After staying there for 4 nights we visited Sydney. From Sydney we took a rental car and did a roadtrip all the way to Melbourne via Canberra.
It was an awesome trip! To see some pictures just click on the area on the image below:

Some Impressions of Perth
Some impressions of Perth...
The beautiful view from Kings Park (Google maps).
The bell tower viewed from the Espalande street (Google maps).
Some skyscrapers (the photo was shot from the same perspective than the previous picture, just turned around).
More impressions of Perth can be found at the web album.

Trip to the Pinnacles
Today we did a day-trip to the Pinnacle Desert (Google maps) which is around 250km north-west of Perth. It was an organized bus-trip where 80 students from WA participated.
On the way there we saw some scrub-land. It is so funny... once you drive like 10km outside of Perth you are in the middle of nowhere.
The Pinnacle Desert looks like a moonscape scenery and is made by the pillars rising out of the desert landscape.
It makes a really good photo shooting location ;)

Caversham Wildlife Park
After a long search I finally saw the first wildlife in Australia ;)
Today we went to the Caversham Wildlife Park which hosts different kinds of Australian wildlife.
Some of them can even be petted (e.g. the kangaroos or koalas).
The cutest little fellas are the Wallabys.
