What is the island just off WA that is the home of quokkas?

Most of Australia's quokkas live on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia, near Perth. The name Rottnest Island is a derivation of the Dutch for "rat's nest". In 1697, Dutch sailor Willem de Vlamingh reached "New Holland", as it was then called. When he reached Rottnest Island, he saw the quokkas, small wallaby-like animals, and their grassy nests and tunnels. Believing the unusual creatures to be large rats, he named the island after them and their "nests" - Rottenest - now called Rottnest.
