Richard Offen is right about the people in WA, but w.r.t.
transportation to WA,Andrew Wilby is nearer the mark. Originally the
state was set up as a free settlement, but colonisation was so slow,
the settlers petitioned successfully for convict labour.
As any South Australian will tell you, SA was the only state where
transportation did not play a part in its history.
