I'm hoping it's the Bathurst lighthouse on Rottnest (literally "Rats' Nest") Island, where the quokkas reside... 🤔😅

It’s another on my avoid list. Reminds me of Zombeavers, a cracking film for those who like ridiculous comedy horror. Poor quality artwork considering how good a lot of stuff out there is now.
