Who found Rottnest?
Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh was the first European to land on Rottnest Island and name it, doing so after he sighted the quokkas which he thought were large rats. He thus named the island Rottenest, which has now become Rottnest, a variation of the Dutch for Rat's Nest.
Did the Aborigines use Rottnest?
Aborigines did use Rottnest Island, but they tended not to live there once rising sea levels submerged the land bridge to the island.

Evidence of the Aborigines' use of Rottnest is seen in the fact that Rottnest Island has 17 sites listed under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972-1980.
