Quokka- Rotto marathon
A marathon is held on Rottnest Island each year- competitors run four laps of the course, taking in the picturesque salt lakes and ocean views while gasping for breath and begging for water. My brother’s girlfriend did the course this year- she is an absolute trooper.
Quokka- whale watching
Captain Ahab decides to earn a little money while he looks for his white whale.
Quokka- gardening
Quokka- dog judging (Royal Show)
I always enjoy drawing different dog breeds- each has its own unique quirks and character.
Quokka- flooring
Quokka- scooters
There’s a motorcycle and scooter show on in Perth this weekend, hence the topic of this week’s cover.
I don’t think Audrey makes a good quokka, her features are too delicate and feminine. Greg doesn’t look too bad though.
Quokka- Fathers’ Day
Quokka- City to Surf
Every year, thousands of people run the Perth ‘City to Surf‘- there’s a popular 12km route from the CBD to City Beach, a shorter 4km walk/run, and a full marathon course.
