A Rock Arch, Sometimes With Seals
At the western end of Rottnest Island there are some spectacular rock formations. The sea has been eroding them away for ages and they are now rough, rugged and warped shapes. This one has a hole worn right through it. You can walk across the top of the arch if you are game (Dad wasn't). Sometimes seals come up onto the rocks in this little cave to dry off and sun themselves. I waited for ages hoping one would do it for me, but although I saw some swimming around and playing in the ocean near the rocks, none came out where we could take their photo. I couldn't stay long because the bus driver tooted his horn and we had to get back on the bus.
