Lee..noooo not a rat..I think they are like a little baby wallaby...❤ beautiful to me❤🐾🐾
Beautiful music to accompany your vlog..ty for sharing 🎉 ive spent a day on Rotti as my dtr calls it..it really is pure bliss..those secluded beaches and Crystal clear waters..omg..❤10/10❤
I’ve been using incogni for a while. I’ve been removed from over 60 data brokers👍🏻
Cool
Fantastic place and they looked more like mini kangaroos to me. Great vlog.
I live in Perth, and it is really good watching these Vlogs and seeing Perth through the eyes of a first time visitor, because sometimes it is easy to forget what a fabulous place we live in. Thanks Lee. you are doing more to promote our city than our tourist minister.
Yes it is a beautiful place to live and bring up a family. My dtr and 4 grandchildren live in Glen Forrest i remind them all how lucky they all are to br able to livr it such a great place. They are all coming over for Xmas..my grandchildren will then know what i mean after spending winter here🇬🇧🌪🌫❄☃️☔🤣
As a Perthite, can I say what a wonderful job you have done promoting our wonderful city and surrounds.
Thank you. 😎
Here here 👍💯🇬🇧
Perth reminds me of San Diego, California👍
@@ojosazules8828 oh wow...a Perth alike...now I want to visit San Diego...on line only as I cant fly now due to my health..but ty i will have a look😎

We call the breeze the Fremantle Doctor because it appears to come from the nearby coastal city of Fremantle, (obviously it doesn’t only come from there) and it brings welcome relief from the summertime high temperatures, also you were on the Indian ocean, in the summer the temperatures can be around 22/23 degrees, most quokka’s mainly hang around anywhere there’s food.
Rottnest is Dutch for Rats Nest. When the Dutch were floating around Western Australia in the 1600's, they thought the Quokka's were giant rats. Rottnest also has a dark history. It was a working prison for Aboriginal prisoners from 1838 to 1931. It was pretty brutal. Lovely little island with some stunning little bays. There are a couple of little islands near Rottnest that have seals on them.

Them beaches are fantastic and the color of the sky how blue and the sea . I bet you are glad you went now to Australia what Adventure it has been for you . Aww how cute is he and getting up close as well fantastic xxx
Kwokkas are lovely creatures with endearing, smiley faces.
Having watched your videos from Australia, I have a feeling of sadness. I will be 70 this year and never in my life had any inclination to either visit or indeed live in Australia. I have lived in England and Ireland, I lived in Japan for a few months many years ago and spent 2 years living and working in New York. I now live in Ukraine - not my best move!
Your videos have shown Australia, and in particular Perth, in a completely fresh light. If I were 30 or 40 years younger, I would seriously consider relocating to this wonderful area. By comparison it paints the UK in a very poor light in terms of the quality of living and the condition of the towns and cities - never mind the weather.
Enjoy the rest of your visit.
Never too late for an adventure when the clock is ticking as mine is too. Im 66 my dtr lives in Perth it is a truly beautiful City,and it has lots to offer. If you go for a holiday and you can afford..fly Business Class..i went with Emirates..omg it was amazing. Happy adventure if you do get there 🇦🇺👍✈
*No Regrets - In the UK you have the whole of Europe at your feet - Alpine, Mediterranean etc, all within a Car drive or short Flight and temperate Climates you can manage and are you are used too - Don't envy folks down under in Perth etc _It ain't 'alf HOT Mum !* 🥵
@@GrrMeister Here here absolutely....Oz is for a great jolly bob for me too....i would miss our UK season's and having a good old winge about our weather 👍♨️🌦🌩🌪🌞🌥🌡
@@GrrMeister I live in Australia, from UK, I do miss being so close to Europe, countryside, supermarkets, but I love the clean air, blue sea, pristine beaches. Always greener on the other side. But I can’t see myself moving back.
@@janetblakey9099 crikey don't even think about it..the Great in Great Britain is no longer. Come back for a jolly bob..yes...enjoy..then head back to Oz..
Pro tip - freeze your water bottle over night - should give you a few more hours of cold water. I use frozen bottles of water when moving & working around our 1.5 acres to keep me cool.
Be easy for all the Aussies to spot you as a British tourist with that face mate 😂
Seriously, great vlog, well put together, and a gigantic effort from you cycling around in that heat. Hope you treated yourself to a good beer or 3 afterwards.
Great vlog Lee, high quality, great editing & nice music.
I'm not sure if most of the viewers would realise that the first 15 minutes of your journey out of Perth were down the swan river, yes the dolphins were in the river & they live/visit & breed there very well, not many places in the world can say that so close to a city.
On Rottnest you followed the bitumen & passed by most of the signs, they are there to direct you to the best beaches & clear water, you missed most of the best areas.
You must be the only person not to go in or near the ocean on Rottnest! ever! lol🤣
What about the pub/hotels & bakery, there are loads of Quokkas always there. you missed them too.
Thank you for bringing back memories of the trip down the swan river to Rottnest . And yes the electric bikes are great. And for quokka just go to the bakery, you will be mobbed. And if you have the dollars do a Segway tour.
My dtr has been in Perth for 20yrs now it really is a beautiful place to live and bring a family up 🎉( my 4 grandchildren)!🎉
Hi my daughters and son live in WA and are at Rottness Island this weekend celebrating Lauren and Hiks wedding anniversary. They are camping. Lauren andJemma are identical twins and worked in Mansfield as hairdressers and also on the board at ACE ABC. THey have lived their for 6/7 years and love it there. Hoping to go over next year for the first time. My son, George, moved there with his girlfriend last November. Both daughters got married there as well. Am loving watching your videos so I can see a part of their lives xx
Hey Thanks Michelle. x
Was in Rottnest in 1999. I remember it well, very hot and blue skies all the way. Looks like there's a bit more there than there was in 99. Glad you enjoyed Freeo
Yes there's a lot more there now . Bit like Perth . I remember going to Rottnest in the 70s. Very basic accommodations ,few shops and pub and that's it
@@ACDZ123 there sure is. I really enjoyed Perth when I was there.
Wow, what a superb video. Amazing scenery, fantastic weather, Dolphins and Quokkas! What more could you want! Super sharp quality film too. Well done. 👏👏👏 Cheers
Thank You
Stunning views Lee, absolutely loving these vlogs of Australia, I personally don't get out much myself due to my disability and basically house bound, but vlogs like the one's you share give us the feeling we are their with you enjoying these amazing wonderful scenery vlogs.
Thank you for being an amazing person who shares so much with your viewers. ❤❤
Loved this Perth series! Bringing back core memories that I'd forgotten about from my visit there to see family about 25 years ago! Fremantle, Rottnest Island - everything coming flooding back.
What a delightful trip ❤ The little critter was just adorable.
Hi mac have been to rottness, and I agree, it was breathtaking, love Perth!!
It’s great to see our city in such a positive light , love that you’re enjoying it.
Please tell Incogni we want that service in Australia ❤
Welcome to Perth mate, thanks for being so uplifting and positive about our beautiful city! Love love your energy.😊
Thank You
Watching the dolphins along with that lovely song brought a lump in my throat , truly beautiful ❤❤
Glad you liked your day
What a amazing place to bring your family up in Lee just another world for families to live if ur lucky enough to go there xxx ❤❤
Yes it's the best move I ever made in 87. My 2 kids and 3 grandkids are all full Australians.
Don't know if you saw them or not but seems you missed all the best spots, the Basin, Parakeet bay, little Salmon bay
Couldn’t agree more. The settlement is nice and the bakery is also a must.
He didn’t show all the main area ie church cottages restaurants and tourist shops it’s really rustic … he has left out so much … who needs to see a bike ride😮
@@helenlesley5456 Still I appreciate his upload :)
Beautiful views and dolphins beautiful filming Macmaster and beautiful music
Great to see you enjoying your trip, your enthusiasm is infectious. If you ever come back to Oz you really have to visit Fraser Island, Qld. Biggest sand island in the world, stunning forests, crystal clear lakes and great 4wd driving. Best place I've ever visited.
You bought an American trendy baseball cap to wear in Perth .. you need a bigger sun hat ..😀
This Perth series has made me realize what we have but sometimes don't appreciate! If you have time you need to do the wine ferry tour from Barrack st to the swan valley, in this weather you wont Reget it! One of the best one day river trips in the world even if you don't like wine or wineries.
wow that Island looks great the water looked beautiful clean those animals was lovely to see also the dolphins was great footage seemd hard cycling😂Perth looks a beautiful place
Brilliant video. I went here in 2003. And now living in Perth since 2016 I can say the clouds are a real blessing!. And when the southerly arrives (known as the freemantle doctor) it's wonderful!
This is one of the best videos you have done not to take away how good all ur videos are but this was a truly magical one thanks Lee for sharing 😊
Thank You.
Oh I will deffo register to Incogni..ty for this !🎉
15:39 Built in 2015, Paradise offers guest accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 suites comprising a master suite on the main deck, two VIP cabins and two twin cabins. The bed configuration includes 1 king, 2 queen and 4 singles. She can also carry up to 6 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht charter experience. $95,000 p/week + expenses. You could buy a boat off-season in the UK for that. There might be a few grannies on the front rather than sheilas mind you. You need a boat licence for any boat with a motor in Australia.
Only if it can exceed 10 knots.....and registration for the vessel.
The Dutch explorers, who first discovered Rottnest, also thought the Quockers were rats. That's why they named it Rottnest, being an old Dutch word meaning rat's nest.
Well done on the filming as it showed the glam houses and beautiful Swan. I have been an expat for 56 years.
Great video Lee. What a beautiful island with jaw dropping views. Thank you. You go and have a rest now, you deserve it ❤❤❤
Wow… I was there with my partner in 2002… a beautiful place in the world… I love the desert… that is why I live in the desert California….. love your channel…. Hello from Palm Springs….❤❤❤❤…
This was brilliant… your smile didn’t stop all day long, and I can imagine how much you liked the day out.. as a Dutch person.. i love to ride a bike.. that’s in our 🧬 DNA.. the scenery there is gorgeous..and how brave you are.. to cycle in the heat!! Looking forward to the next vlog.. take care.. you must have a blast.. only you should have your family with you.. sharing those moments together
Thanks lee for a fantastic video, my favorite one up to now, the island of Rottnest is so beautiful. I think the Quokkas are so adorable, and the dolphin footage was amazing😋😋
The island was given the name 't Eylandt 't Rottenest ("Rats' Nest Island"; the quokkas were mistaken for large rats[26]) by Dutch captain Willem de Vlamingh, who spent six days exploring the island from 29 December 1696. De Vlamingh led a fleet of three ships,
The island was first documented by Willem de Vlamingh in 1696, who called it 't Eylandt 't Rottenest ("Rats' Nest Island")
Truly amazing content we are now planning a trip to Perth via Dubai solely based on your Vlogs well done!
You'll have a fantastic time. 👍🏼
If you encounter a snake on Rottnest, it will either be a Tiger or Dugite. Both are bad news.
Lee, that was a fantastic trip - I felt like I was there!! What beautiful scenery and your camera work and editing is excellent. Rottnest a sure 10. Looking forward to the next vid.😁
Just about to say the same ,great camera work and editing, pleasure to watch.
Thank You
What a fantastic vlog Lee. Appreciate all your hard work and effort into making these.
Hey Lee my younger brother was in Perth back in the early 90’s when he was in the US Marines. His fighter squadron was stationed aboard the then brand new aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72. Think they had 2 weeks shore leave there and he said Perth was great !! and said the people of Perth and the surrounding areas were some of the nicest people he’s met and has said a few times over the yrs he’d like to go back for a visit to see how much has changed.
Tell him it's changed a lot ..😅
@@ACDZ123 I sent him the link to watch this series , if he watches I’ll let you know what he says.
Amazing Lee gorgeous video of the beautiful clear ocean ❤❤xxxxxx
Hey everything is different in real life . the smells and the sunshine on your face I bet you are glad that you went now Xx
Absolutely fantastic vlog Lee this has to be one of the best videos you have done the quokkas were so cute! thank you Lee onwards
Thanks Charles
@@TheMacMaster Your most welcome your top of your game next time you’re in Blackpool I’d love to say hello 👋
Hopefully back soon. Love Blackpool.
@@TheMacMaster Brilliant let me know 👍
Wouldn’t mind going to Nottingham one day never been there
Loving this IOz videos Lee.My experience of Oz was turning up on an ioll tanker in1968 in
Geelong with 24vhour turn round and then back to the Persian Gulf.I was a yuong 19 year old
That Quokka was extremely inquisitive, obviously very used to human contact. I’m sure you’ve made memories of a life time so far Lee. What an adventure you’ve been in so far 👍👍
We went to Perth for 30 days in September/ October 2023. Rottnest Island was of the best days we had. The Quokkas were everywhere where the shops were. All the shops have little sprung doors in an attempt to keep them out.
Other places to go near Perth.
The prison at Fremantle
The maritime museum
The giants
The Pinicles
The caves
Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park (kangaroos)
This was the most inspiring video I’ve seen in ages. What a great place it is.
Haven't been back to perth since 1994, but I've never forgotten i was stung by a jellyfish . Everyone on the ferry had jellyfish blisters, painful loved shark bay the drive, and an amazing part of ozzi
That video was amazing Lee, absolutely captivating!! And what a beautiful country Australia is, they are so lucky.
Such a great vlog. Being a Melbournian you have sold the west to me. Rotnest looks fab!👍
Hi Lee That was some vlog, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. That was some ride up that hill, and you said you weren't fit!!! Loved the quokkas, they looked like miniature kangaroos, dead cute ❤❤
My Daughter ( one of them,have 5..& a boy lol😅) was flown off Rottnest December for emergency surgery! She worked there whilst travelling. Her sister lives in Perth, engaged to a Perth fella. Havent been yet! Maybe tbis year. 😊
Thanks for this. I didn't have chance to get to Rottnest Island when I was in Perth but now you've enabled me to see it. And without me having to do all that cycling!! 😂👍
Hey Lee l recon the WA dept of tourism should be paying you a commission cause alot of people watching your videos are gonna be very keen to visit Perth. The place looks amazing - well worth a trip.
Thanks. 👍🏼
What a FANTASTIC video! Love, love, love this video! Pure quality - everything about it. How lucky you are to be able to go there, Lee. Love everything you have shown us of Perth and Rottnest Island. Absolutely adore those quokkas! Would have had a hard time restraining myself from trying to stroke them! Ahh! It's great to see you having a wonderful time. Keep 'em coming. Well done on that bike ride, btw! ❤
Its worth stating for the Northern Hemisphere tourists that our summers are brutal : always very high 30s or low 40s and the sun will strip the skin off your back. You cant drink enough water during the day. After a month you get acclimatised to it
Hi just wanted to say the video was awesome thanks for this Perth is a great state...I live in kelmscott really like how you see all the positives about the west we have a great stae keep the awesome videos Lee .....sorry about this terrible heatwave though :)
Defo making that trip next year if I’m still here that is.❤That was worth every Aus.Dollar my friend.
Wonderful vlog. I didn't realise how big Rottnest is. So much for selling it to fellow Aussies. I bet your face was really sore the next couple of days after it burned all night. The scratchy collar is an experience not to be missed. All the fun of the Australian summer.
Absolutely loved this film,wonderful. Thank you for taking me with you...by tandem some of the way 😂. You have opened my eyes to the wonders of Australia 🌟👍.
An amazing quality clear video taken with perfection Lee. Am so.pleased the weather has been good so far. Just hope the bike ride didn't mess up your health in.the heat out there. The beaches and sea looked amazing.too. Thanks Again.for taking us with you to Perth Regards Keith x
You are doing great things for the Aussie tourist board, Lee! Love these vlogs!
Thank You
Thank you for hese videos from Perth and Rottnest. Stayed with my brother for 6 weeks baxk in the 80`s, no places to stay or cars on Rottnest cack then and the boat took hours. Managed to come across a Tiger snake though;) Pert,h, Fremantle brings back a lot of wonderful memories.
Fabulous Lee! Thank you 👍 Such a refreshing change from the concrete jungle of Tenerife !!🤣
I remember doing that cycle when I first arrived in Perth back in 1984…there was not much on the island like now..lol.. but when I came back.. I realised I had the worst case of wind burn ever..even with sun screen.. I would have brought ice flask with ice water…lol…loved seeing Perth from the swan river.
What no chip shops? You could start a niche business here by substituting the fish for battered Quokka 😊 Onwards
Told you you’d like Rottnest Island brilliant place and Perth is The best place IN THE WORLD 😂 Oh and I did say respect the Perth sun 😂😂😂😂
What a fabulous day, I’m never going to Australia but thank you for your tour and I loved the little furry animals they are so cute. Best video so far Lee.
Another great video. Love your taste in music. And of course, sense of humour.
Loved your video! Riding up those hills brought back some memories for me. By the way you’ll usually find quokkas around the shopping area near the bakery.
You got it right in one. Dutch sea captain Willem de Vlamingh landed on the island, giving it the famous name of Rottnest Island. This means 'rat's nest' in Dutch, as he mistook the island's abundant quokka population for giant rats. Despite its prominence, it took until 1831 before any large presence was established on Wadjemup.
As a Perth local , who has been over to Rottnest countless times , I would go further and encourage visitors to book a night or two on the island if they can. The place is just so peaceful and idyllic in the evenings , once all those boats with day visitors leave, you get to experience the chill of ' Rotto time'.
Great vlog Lee lovely day out.. what beautiful little creatures 🥰..
Thanks for taking us along on your tour of Rottnest (Rat's Nest - Dutch) Island. I really enjoyed the adventure. 😀 Beautiful videography as usual. Just brilliant.
Rats are rodents and Quokka's are marsupials. Quokka's look like little Wallabies to me, and they are so cute.
You need a broad-brimmed hat with some elevation on the top to keep the sun from heating your head and prevent sunburn around your face and the back of your neck.
Always take twice as much water as you think you'll need because you'll probably still run out.
You are not acclimatised and you probably should listen to the people who live here telling you how to look after yourself. Don't get heatstroke, it can put you in the hospital. All the best.
Hi Mac, I just thought you'd like to know, QWOKKA'S are marsupials, so are not rodents. The females have pouches similar to kangaroos,wallabies etc.
45:00 "they look like rats"... Well, that's why the island is called Rottnest. Originally it was discovered by the Dutch, and called the island "Rattennest", which translates to rat's nest, because they thought they were rats. The English later on just changed the pronounciation. Cheers from a Dutch guy in Madrid.
Another place i never knew existed, the sea is so blue, lovely, but too hot for cycling .
Great video Lee, enjoy your holiday/work.😀. Quite cute ,the wee animals.
Thanks Dougie. 👍🏼
Have a fantastic weekend.
Rottnest Island sure is beautiful, love the bike riding / bike trails. And the Quokkas are so cute. 👍 😀
Great video. Beautiful seeing the dolphins.
Great place to ride a bike. Gorgeous.
That cute little animal was so curious. Wow. So cute.
You singing. LOL.
Well done. On making it up that hill.
I bet the breeze was well needed-on your way down.
Beautiful views.
Aftersun needed. x
😊😊😊WOW this Island looks so much like Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts where I grew up the white sands and some dunes.😊😊😊😊
Wow....Fantastic Lee, thanks.
That was one of the best vlogs I've ever watched it looked stunning and amazing u r so lucky lee keep up the good work
Well done the macmaster. Great video and music. Not one mention of an EV. Great watching
Excellent entertaining journey surprised you didn't show sign of sweating . Also what was the fantastic song playe? Keep up the good work you are doing a fantastic job.
My tip for ice cold water for hours is to freeze it overnight. 1st bottle freeze 3/4 full & top up before go out next day, for immediate use, 2nd leave full when freezing. Use later. Iced cold drinks for literally hrs. Obviously no good in hotel, but many self catering places have an ice box in the fridge. This trip has really highlighted your cam/edit skills.
Thank You
“Weekend hangout spots?” ….What? …me couch? 🤭😌 Awe Lee love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us all. I feel like I’ve had a lovely day out in the sunshine and done loads of stuff and not spent any money….. you are such a gentleman paying for everything…. but I’m still hungry lad! 😌 Breakfast, steak, buffets, curry and tonight here it’s the Friday night northern law as I am roughly 10 mile south of Manchester to have a chippy tea. 😊 “Has owt moist” as Peter Kay says. Honestly you really make me smile and forget my troubles. I have had a rough few years since me Mam died and I am lost without her. You cheer me up in the darkest moments. Look after yourself out there… if I were there I’d be wearing that red swimsuit Linda wore and Paul Hogan fell head over heels in love when he saw her…in which is one of my top ten films… Crocodile Dundee! I love the ending in the subway station when those tough blokes are having to relay love messages back and forth! 😂 Gutted you are taken. Just my luck! 🙄 Your girlfriend is lovely. Thanks again for sharing your amazing adventures. You are such a warm hearted man. Look after yourself and come home soon…. Or better still go to Benidorm… Now that to me is home! Can’t wait for your next instalment…. What you having for tea tonight… oh wait sorry breakfast! No wonder there’s more Australians in England than Australia….. because as Al Murray says “We are a down to earth sensible country.” Ta rah for now cock. Julie and Jimmy the cat 👩🏻🦰🐈⬛😻💋xx
Rottnest Island gets its name from a Dutch explorer who thought the quokkas were rats. Rottnest means rat's nest in Dutch. Rotto as the locals call it is a beautiful place. I cycled around it in 1979 and it was a brilliant place to ride. It wasn't that hot in April so no overheating then!
Great video…rotto is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been! It’s paradise……I also buried $500aud in a small blue divers box on rotto in 2004…it was still there in 2015 when I went back…didn’t take it…it’s still buried…..to be dug up in 2025 when I go back 🤗 ps your never find it but if ya do I’ve left a note 🤗 awesome buddy keep up the great work 🙌🏻🇦🇺
Wonderful watching your trip. You handed the heat way better than I would, and I've lived in WA for 30 years lol.
Two points. 1 : As a licensed drone pilot - your instinct was correct. There is a very small area on Rottnest that you can use your drone but at a fairly limited altitude (there's an airfield on Rotto (YRTI) and Rotto itself is very small, so the regs around airfields make it very limiting), but it's basically not worth the risk because it is literally some of the busiest airspace in Western Australia (for choppers and light aircraft).
2 : Re quokkas looking like Rats - you muppet. :D Did you know what "ROTTNEST" means in Dutch? RAT'S NEST. :D The early Dutch sailors who landed there thought the same thing as you! :D
Really enjoying your adventures. I wish you'd explore the Southwest of WA rather than Sydney, but you do you, you've got a viewer in me you amusing pommy bastard.
12:30 that person’s face underneath that bridge is no other than Bon Scott, former lead singer of AC/DC or “akka dakka”. Fun fact: there is a certain stretch of highway in Perth that was the inspiration behind the song ‘Highway to hell’
I love Rotto, one of my highlights visiting Western Australia, i hired a bike and cycled round the island, amazing place
Like that City of York ship's anchor you filmed, we found one too. On our way to Queensland we sailed via the Coral Sea, an amazing place of thousands of reefs, perfect for diving. We stayed there for a couple of days, weather was a bit crappy but on the last day we did a final dive. That's when we found a huge anchor, like yours, from about 1800/1850. There was still a timber cross-tree left holding the flukes into the seabed. We got the lift-bags out and gently raised to the surface and the craned it onto deck. When we got to QLD, we donated it to the Cairns Yacht Club. Hope it;s still on their lawn.
A lot of work went into that VLOG behind-the-scenes, photo/music/editing. We are all used to turning on the TV with instant information provided from a crew of 20. Lee's a "sole trader". Very well done partner.
