Rottnest Island
Written by Brian Simmonds
Just 19 km off the coast of Fremantle in Western Australia, Rottnest Island – fondly known as ‘Rotto’ – is visited by over half a million people each year.
Award-winning artist Brian Simmonds brings one of Australia’s iconic islands to life with his oils and mixed media colour paintings and sketches. Simmonds’ beautiful works accompany uniquely local poetry and prose from well-known Australian writers such as Tim Winton and Craig Silvey.
