'We are sorry': WA premier apologises for Aboriginal deaths in custody at popular island paradise Rottnest Island has for years been a beloved holiday destination for families and celebrities alike, but there have been renewed efforts to educate visitors about the coastal paradise’s dark history.

Almost 4000 #Aboriginal men & boys were incarcerated on #Wadjemup ( #RottnestIsland) 1838-1931.
