Rottnest Gets Major Upgrade

Over the past 18 months Rottnest Island has been very busy updating facilities on the island. Gone are the days where visitors had to bring their own linen, and where we had to share showers and toilets.
All Rottnest's accomodation has been transformed into a more modern look with the addition of stoves, microwaves, tv's, couches, heating and also the much needed bathrooms.
The island has also received a new paint job on the main bays walls and visitor centre ( pic left) this is more welcoming than the old fainted paint that had been there for yrs, although its pretty much the same colour.
Another addition to the island are the aboriginal tour busses which will take you to the heritage sites and explain what they were involved in when held as prisonors old the island in the late 1800's, this is added to the already running tours of the island.
Thompson bays shopping complex received new shops including subway, a refurbished bakery which now boasts one of the biggest shops on the island and has everything from fresh baked bread to drinks and hot food. There is now a chemist on the island which also sells souviners. Other new shops across the island include the new owned dive shop owned by oceanic cruises, get everything from alcohol, clothes to surfboards and necklaces.
