Great account of your trip - I look forward to hearing part 2 
I have no idea what prison I looked at in Fremantle - back when I live there, but it wasn't the one that closed down 10 years ago ?????
So glad you had a good time!!!!

That's a fab report - it's bizarre you were there the same time as us I think and you visited a lot of the same places - how far south did you go? We made it as far as Augusta - it's really really lovely further down.

What did you think of Bunbury.
Have you decided where you would like to live.
Its strange, most people dont come this far, and its the best place, i think anyway.

Re: Our validation trip to Perth - a personal account.
I'm really glad you all enjoyed this. I know how much I look forward to reading other's trip reports so have forced myself to do this!!! 
Part 2 will come, not sure how soon though, as I am back to work this morning, complete with serious Jet Lag....hence this 'silly 'o 'clock' post!!
Will endeavour to write some more tonight depending on the level of stress and general knackerdness!

I thought Busselton was lovely too and absolutely loved Dunsborough - I don't imagine there's much work there though. I'm going to post a thread on my reccie in a couple of days when I've caught up with our other stuff

Wouldnt stress about this mate - brown sugar in the UK is normally white sugar coloured with molasses.
