Hmm, is BBQ spelt that way for a reason?

Perhaps you didn't hear it the first time, but anyone trying to hurt or abuse or steal a quokka will be arrested, thrown in an Australian jail and mercilessly beaten by the guards without reprisal!

I was meaning for a place for him to settle in, or be a permanent resident , dunno, somewhere he'd fit in instantly, a pub maybe

Remind him to take his id with him.
... at least if he's in Qld.
Hmm, that's not short for Quokkaland, is it?

Whenever I read of the mysterious and exotic Rottnest Island, I get the impression it's some horrible place where people are kept imprisoned and tortured. I can see the ad: Rottnest Island - your nest to rot

That's all a vicious rumour..


Anyway, it happened long long ago. and isn't due to happen again until next year.

Quotes below from Wikipedia.

Some 3,700 Aboriginal men and boys were imprisoned there... There may be as many as 369 inmates' graves on the island; one writer has suggested that 95% of the deaths were from influenza. In 2015 – after numerous protests from local Aboriginal people for the Rottnest Island Authority to create a memorial recognising the events, deaths and unmarked graves which lie on Rottnest Island – work begun on the Wadjemup Burial Ground

-Rottnest was the site of internment camps in both World War I and World War II. In World War I it was mostly used for German and Austrian suspected enemy aliens, and was closed towards the end of the war due to poor living conditions. In World War II the camp was used exclusively for Italian enemy aliens..

Definitely looks like a Max type of place other than the sunshine, warmth, and lack of continuous drizzle.
