Would love to send you some mac and cheese too - it was really good and they had some spicy options that I am sure you would enjoy. It is good that they are using pentridge for events - quite a lot of it is being developed into apartments so I am glad some of it is still open to the public.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17960295212787978672015-08-28T12:19:26.651+10:002015-08-28T12:19:26.651+10:00Thanks Kari - yep, I love markets in quirky locati...Thanks Kari - yep, I love markets in quirky locations. I remember doing a tour of Fremantle prison years ago and still remember it as being an eye opener.

And if I don't buy them, I think about it later. But stuff mounts up so much, there's too much of it in the house, and I'm better off with a memory. Flea markets or so-called antique markets can be so much fun, except for the occasional regret!Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36345327419894108292015-08-25T22:40:49.302+10:002015-08-25T22:40:49.302+10:00Interesting!

I was just talking about Pentridge the other day - my coordinator at work used to live in an apartment inside there, she said it had quite a weird vibe.
