We made it to a few beaches and found some Quokka which look like a cross between a rat and a kangaroo. They are pretty cute, very soft and timid and they don't bite but all they want is your food and if you don't have any they go on to the next person or try to dig into your backpack.
After we finished biking we had some time to spend on the beach before we went back to Fremo, we found some pretty cool animals there...see below :)

Quokka!
They are only found on islands in Western Australia! Some people will tell you they are only found on Rottnest, but they lie :) We should have stuffed one in our backpack..or maybe two. Their baby's are also called Joey's.
They are almost as tall as Janina.
In the water with a stingray, obviously it didn't sting me.
We were all done biking the island and had to wait an hour for our ferry (we didn't want to be late because we almost missed it in the morning) so we found a nearby beach and also found these cool animals.
Alex and Janina at the end of the Jetty,
you can see the Perth CBD between them if you zoom in enough.
