Travel with us to the opposite side of the world from the United
States, down under, for this exciting sailing and diving adventure into
beautiful southwest Australia - home to Koalas, Emus, and Kangaroos.
We arrive in Perth the west coast capital and travel south down the
coast, diving along the way from Perth to Busselton, in this first of a
two part series.
Join us as we board the 70 ft Tarquin, a Ferro/cement sailing vessel
and sail down part of the coast line.
Included in our visit are the cities of Perth, Rockingham, Fremantle
and Busselton, where we dive the Busselton Jetty, a dock extending a
mile out into the ocean, and tour the Swan shipwreck off shore.
We visit Rottnest Island home to the Quokkas. In the 17th century,
Dutch explorers could well have been horrifi ed to find giant
rats on this island. They called it Rottnest meaning, “rat’s nest”, a very
unflattering name for a place now the nearest Holiday/vacation Island to
Perth. The Quokkas, who resemble tiny miniature kangaroos, are now
protected, and it’s the only place in the world in which they are found.
We also dive and take a tour of Seal Island where we find beautiful
swim-through arches and see the coral and vegetation below the ocean
along with the unique fish of the region.
View the countryside set to the traditional folk music only found in
Australia.
So, sit back and enjoy Southwest Australia from down under on this
special edition of Dive Travel.
