Katy Perry has found happiness in Australia following her shock split from fiancé Orlando Bloom.
Rumours of a break-up kicked into high gear this week as the couple, who share daughter Daisy Dove, four, spent time apart and went without their wedding rings.
Now, the US popstar, 40, has shared videos and photos to Instagram on Friday that show her living the high life with quokkas on Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
The Firework hitmaker was all smiles as she got down to the ground and posed with the small macropod, which appeared to be having a snack.
Katy rugged up for the cold weather in black tights and a puffer jacket, as she pulled a matching cap down low over her head.

‘Mood: quokka,’ she captioned the gallery of images, which also contained a clip of her dancing on the beach alongside a flock of seagulls.
Katy also stopped at a local supermarket and took a photo of a chocolate treat in the shape of a quokka.
Daughter Daisy also came along for the trip and even got to sit at the wheel of the boat that took Katy and her entourage to Rottnest Island off the coast of WA.
It comes after fan footage resurfaced of Katy weeping openly onstage in Mexico City, just weeks before her split from Orlando, 48, went public.
A blizzard of rumours swirled this Wednesday that Katy and Orlando have gone their separate ways after a nine-year romance which produced their daughter Daisy.
Seemingly confirming the conjecture, Orlando then went to Venice alone to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Italian wedding celebration.
While he mingles with the Kardashians, goes boating with Tom Brady and gets a pep talk from Oprah Winfrey, Katy is in Australia for her Lifetimes Tour.
But in an unearthed clip from the beginning of the tour in April, Katy was seen apparently battling with some private anguish onstage.

The singer sang through her tears as she delivered a rendition of her 2010 song Pearl, which is about leaving a troubled relationship.
At one point she took the microphone away from her face and emotionally screamed out the lyric: ‘I let him rule my world!’
The California-born pop act then gathered herself for the next lines: ‘But I woke up and grew strong, and I can still go on and no one can take my pearl.’
Her Lifetimes Tour began with the Mexico City shows in April, for which she was roundly derided over her ‘mum moves.’
In backstage footage she posted to Instagram from the Mexican capital, she explained she had been ‘struggling for the past few things with my voice, having a flu-cold thing’ and also mentioned the city’s famously high altitude.
In the wake of this week’s breakup reports, Orlando was spotted Thursday in what appeared to be a deep and heartfelt conversation with none other than Oprah on the eve of Jeff and Lauren’s wedding in Venice.
Orlando leaned in intently, hands clasped behind his back, as the queen of self-help placed her hands on his shoulders—seemingly offering him a private dose of wisdom and encouragement amid his split from Katy.

While the star-studded crowd partied around them, Orlando and Oprah looked like they were in a world of their own, locked in a moment that felt more life-coach than cocktail hour.
Speculation surrounding Orlando and Katy’s relationship was finally put to rest on Thursday, with insiders confirming the longtime couple has gone their separate ways.
The pair first began dating in 2016, endured a brief split, and reunited in 2018.
Orlando popped the question the following year, and the couple welcomed their daughter Daisy in August 2020.
Rumours of trouble began swirling earlier this month, with reports hinting at mounting tension behind the scenes.
Sources claimed the underwhelming response to Katy’s latest album 143, the backlash over her much-mocked Blue Origin spaceflight, and the demands of her current Lifetimes Tour all contributed to strain in the relationship.
Adding fuel to the fire, Katy has recently been spotted without her engagement ring.
As of now, neither Orlando nor Katy has addressed the breakup publicly.
