Quokka Soccer was our running joke when I was a youngster going to Rottnest in the late 70’s, early 80’s. No, we didn’t actually do it…lol.. IIRC The Island is named after them. It’s of Dutch origin. Basically “rats nest” as the Quokka’s were thought to be large rats by Dutch explorers. When you’re camping there, the Huntsman spiders were more worrying in the tent than a fuzzy marsupial, who might try and steal some leftovers…lol
