There is at least a landing
There is at least a landing fee. $21.50 / person for an overnight stay. There are free beach moorings in thompson bay in front of the old tea rooms. First in first served, need to take mooring lines and fenders. Or you can anchor anywhere in the sand. There is plenty of space in thompson bay, longreach, and parker point. Further along the island I think there is space in stark bay ??? Check that first before taking my word for it. The rotto website has a lot of infomation.
Fish! HARD!

Ive parked at the fuel jetty
Ive parked at the fuel jetty pens in thompson bay a couple of times for overnighters, not too expensive, you can book it online (google the rottnest website) not a bad option if you're worried about drifting away at night or if you dont want to get yer feet wet before going to pub for dinner. Has 3 points to tie up to (cleat on the jetty for the bow, 2 floats to tie stern to) short walk to pub

Thompson bay
Thompson bay can be crap in morning when the easterly is in ,slopy as hell.
North side bays are better to wake up to in the morning .
Parakeet bay
Geordie bay (toilet block & shop)
Stark bay
Rocky bay/Narrow neck is good if you are going out to the FAD"S the next morning.
Toilet block right on the beach there.
P.S take some bread for herring at Rocky bay (Lots)Yummy!
