What is Gold Rush and History of Rottnest Island about?

Rottenest Island off the coast of Perth has a diverse environment and fascinating history. It was originally used as an Aboriginal prison camp where over 350 prisoners died. During WWII, the island played an important military role with the construction of large gun installations to protect nearby Fremantle from Japanese attack, though the guns were never fired. Today it remains a popular tourist destination where the only transportation is bicycles, and it is a refuge for the unique quokka species.
