Sancho and Don said they were off to the Rock-It festival in Perth, and invited me along, and I didn’t need a second invite. I felt like I needed a bit of fun after a tough time in Latham, and they seemed to be in the same situation having just escaped Cervantes.
Rock-It Festival in Perth
We had a bit of a tough time finding the Joondalup area where Rock-It is held, and had to do a bit of a loop around the neck of the Swan River.

However, once we were there it was great. It was a really relaxing and fun atmosphere, and really rocked.
Airbourne played a storming opening set, Rose Tattoo played a great slide guitar fuelled bluesy show, and Bon Scott era AC/DC just ripped the place up with a headlining bad boy boogie act that just oozed rock n’ roll.

Relaxing on Rotto: Rottnest Island
We were rather hot and sweaty after the show, so we headed out to Rottnest Island, or Rotto as it is known locally.

There was certainly nothing rotten about it, and we enjoyed the beautiful beaches on the traffic free island.
We were joined by some quirky quokkas: animals that are to kangaroos what greenygreys are to werewolves. They were lots of fun, and provided great company before we fell asleep under the rising sun.
