Rottnest Island, or Wadejmup, is an internationally known tourism destination in Western Australia. What many people don't know is that it was once a prison island where around 370 Aborginal prisoners died. But it's significance to Noongar people dates back to the beginning of time.

What an outstanding Young man. No divisive agenda or malice. Just quietly going about the buisness of educating people on the past so we can all acknowledge it and move forward together as an Australian Community. The more we can understand and appreciate each other, the brighter the future will be.

Jail cells turned into motel rooms, that’s one the last places I would want to sleep

I stayed there in the late 80's and had no idea what lay beneath us as we slept. I am in shock to be honest. Well done to that young man for all his hard work.

That’s it. I’ve been there. It has the most darkest energy. It’s so bad. I can never stay long accept to give my sincere sorrow for the pain they endured. Crap, I could never ever sleep in that place!!!

Christmas Morgan there is no way. I can only take about 5 minutes the sorrow and pain is so overwhelming I literally get sick physically from the heaviness in my chest
