Australia is well known for two things: the sun and an array of wildlife. Roger Federer encountered both upon arriving early for the Hopman Cup in Western Australia. He'll be playing for Team Switzerland with Belinda Bencic, starting on Sunday.

The world No. 3 went to Cervantes, a small fishing town on the coast about two hours from Perth, to get closely acquainted with lobster at Lobster Shack. He relaxed on the beach while trying the freshly caught local delicacy.

Federer ventured further to the Pinnacles Desert, where he took photos next to huge rock structures on golden sand and under the shining sun.
