We stood outside to get windswept, missed the commentary and walked ashore to discover that Rottnest Island is overrun with quokkas - long tailed, short faced, round-eared marsupials that look disconcertingly like giant rats.
While the quokkas remained elusive, the students caught a small marsupial which they did not recognise.
Its Dutch discoverer in the 17th century wrongly named it after finding it was infested with what he took for rats, but were actually quokkas , marsupials with a vague resemblance to beavers.
These forms include the tree-kangaroos (genus Dendrolagus), which are excellent climbers; pademelons (genus Thylogale), which often walk with a quadrupedal gait; and the relatively short-tailed quokkas (genus Setonix).
En route, watch out for the island's sweet but vaguely scary quokkas : half kangaroo, half rat, they're endemic here.
