Katy Perry snapped with cute Aussie quokka on Rottnest Island
No trip to WA is complete without an obligatory quokka selfie and international superstar Katy Perry is no exception.
The Firework singer took some time out from her Lifetimes tour in Perth to visit Rottnest Island and took a photo with arguably the nation's most adorable animal.
Perry shared photos from her visit on social media where she can be seen dancing on a beach, riding a bike, playing cards and hanging out on a boat with her crew as they make their way to 'Rotto.'
'Mood: Quokka,' she wrote on social media.

Perry follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who make the 19km journey by sea to visit the native animals that inhabit Rottnest Island located off Perth's coastline.
Famous faces that have made a quokka selfie synonymous with a trip to WA include Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie, Roger Federer, Hugh Jackman, Kelly Slater, Shawn Mendes and K-pop group Blackpink.
The singer is now in Adelaide to play two concerts before she returns to the US and Canada where she will continue her tour.

As photography evolves with tech and AI, the past helps us understand the future
Kevin Parsons has a unique view of photography from the past to the present day. His mother, an avid photographer in Western Australia's Midwest in the 1950s and 60s, left him a cherished collection of photo slides and 8-millimetre film reels. "Anything in town, she would be there," he said. Much of the material was shot at Geraldton, 400 kilometre north of Perth, and the surrounding regions. It provides echoes of the past compared to the bustling regional city of today. With no internet or social media, family slide-show nights were the only way to display your work to others. "We used to have film nights in those days and get family and friends to come over and watch," Mr Parsons said. Now in his 90s, Mr Parsons said these days he used a mobile phone for its simplicity. "It's a lot easier to get it on there and you look at it immediately," he said. "If it's not a good photo you take another one." While technology has evolved, has the reason we take photographs changed too? Emily Brink, an associate professor in the history of art at the University of Western Australia, said early photography was more commemorative. Dr Brink said modern, virtual photography was far more controlled and focused on creating an image rather than capturing a moment in time. "The way that we are experiencing our lives now is so increasingly mediated by the photograph," she said. "You go out to have a meal and do you sit and enjoy that meal or are you photographing that meal for Instagram? "How does that change your experience not just of social interaction in real space and time, but how does it essentially change your experience of that time? "Your personality gets split between the social media personality you're constructing and the person you are actually, you know, who you are in the world." "Authorship is really at the heart of all these questions, over and above the image itself," Dr Brink said. "I want to believe that a photographer is still somebody who is choosing to take an image, not choosing to purely make an image." Dr Brink said one reason people might be drawn to "old" photos is because they were not perfect, whereas today's images posted online were polished and glossy. "We are no longer dealing with the kind of codes of construction that we ascribe to photography historically. It's more akin to design." She said something was lost when photography was shared virtually rather than face to face. "I think we lose some of the serendipity of laughing at the terrible photograph of the finger over somebody's head, in the same time and space. "We can achieve amazing things, but I think when we acknowledge our shared imperfection that's really where community might be generated." Almost a decade ago, French graphic and music designer Valentin Mermet-Bouvier made the music clip Cliche showcasing hundreds of images of people taking almost the exact same image. Mermet-Bouvier, who performs as Hierophante, said he thought the music video was still relevant today. "I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that we all tend to share the same kind of image in the same context," he said. The clip was made as picture-based site Instagram was becoming increasingly popular. "Lots of people were thinking the new generation were really egoistical and self-obsessed but I don't think it's true," he said. "I think people have always been like that; the only thing that's changed is the possibility of sharing pictures."

Nikita Tszyu announces the birth of his first baby, a daughter named Curiosity
Don't miss out on the headlines from Boxing/MMA. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nikita Tszyu welcomed the birth of his first child late last week, a daughter named Curiosity. Tszyu and his wife, also named Nikita, confirmed the heart-warming news on Saturday night via social media. 'Curiosity Tszyu,' the boxer wrote on Instagram. 'Named after the NASA Mars Rover, Curiosity. 'Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. 'It is this powerful force of curiosity which has led humans to become explorers, scientists, historians & artists. 'Curiosity is the everlasting flame burning in all of us that compels us to ask questions, to wonder, to learn, to grow and to know. 'As parents, we hope our daughter's name will give her the courage and strength to explore life without fear. 'May her own curious mind be the guiding compass leading the way as she grows to understand herself and the world around her. 'As Curiosity's parents, we vow to nurture her spirit of adventure and use the principles of the Japanese Bushidō 'The Way of The Warrior' as a guide to raising her.' While older brother Tim prepares for his world title rematch against Sebastian Fundora on July 19, the intensely private Nikita kept the impending birth of his daughter a closely guarded secret. The couple were married in a surprise, low key ceremony in January, with the Nikita later revealing to CODE Sports that he made their wedding rings himself. 'I melted the silver and made it in my garage – I forged it myself,' he said. 'I did my ring and her ring. I had to do about 10 different rings because I had to shape it and everything. 'I learned the art form, or how to do it in a weekend and I got the rings created in two more days. 'I'm a smelter now.' Tszyu hasn't fought since his fight of the year win over Koen Mazoudier last August, with a hand injury keeping him sidelined at the start of the year. The 27-year-old is been slated to step back in the ring in August, with a potential showdown opposite Michael Zerafa later in the year, although nothing has been confirmed.
