I like to go for a day or a weekend. Accommodation caters for everyone from tents, to the hotel or a villa. Walking around the island is not impossible because of its size. Another way is to take your bicycle on the ferry or hire one when you get there.
Snorkeling at a place called "The Basin" is one of my favourites. The water is so clear in Summer, you can see all sorts of fish!
The wildlife is everywhere, especially a cute little creature called the Quokka.
You can fish, although you have to be careful and avoid prohibited areas. If you fish in restricted zones the fines are heavy.
The crayfish are especially tasty!
If you come to Western Australia, I definitely suggest taking a trip to Rottnest Island.
A recipe I want to share with you is another of my favourites...
Ingredients500 grams of raw, shelled and de-veined prawns (Banana prawns are best)
100 grams of butter
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 cup of white wine
1 cup of thickened creamGround pepper to taste
One third of a cup chives, chopped
Lemon wedge for decoration
Cooked white rice (1 cup per person)
Method
In a large fry pan on medium heat, place butter and garlic and cook for a minute or two until you can see the garlic turning a slight light brown colour.
Take the pan off heat and add prawns, be careful not to splash yourself with the hot butter mixture. Return to heat, only cook for a few seconds. Now add wine and cream and cook a further minute until mixture infuses, don't cook too long or prawns will go tough.
Just before serving, stir through the chives and pepper.
Serve with rice and decorate with a wedge of lemon. Some people like to add the juice from the lemon onto their prawns.
