 * I am glad a tour guide helped with this. First-hand knowledge of a subject really adds a special level of understanding that you just cannot get from reading books. Here are some specific comments:
 * I would like to know more about its origin.
 * what does "transportation ceased" mean? Does this refer to the transferring of prisoners from Britain to Fremantle?
 * "The water was of very good quality..." is an opinion so it needs a reference.
 * Avoid empty sections like "History" and "Prison operation".
 * A floor layout plan would be nice.
 * The "1900s" and "Prison art" are weak, they could use some discussion/details.
 * Here are some resources that may help with further writing: Section A.2.2.2, and . I suspect there would be many books in an Austrailian library that could help immensely. --maclean 25  08:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but it's "too short". Try to expand it - double the current size would be nice.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
