Where is the Canadian Embassy? Not in Western Australia, it seems

I’ve just posted about Canada Day and thought you might enjoy the following. We played host to two young back-packers recently. One was from Italy although she’d been living in France and the other from Quebec. They met on an island off Spain (the name escapes me at the moment) at a juggling/fire-eating/magic convention. Now, they are hoping to be married and thought they might do so in Western Australia. We haven’t seen them for a while but Julia is in contact with Vince on Facebook. They went to the Canadian Embassy in Perth for some information but it seems there isn’t one. Our friends had an address but when they arrived there, a notice on the gate informed them that it wasn’t the Canadian Embassy and gave a number to ring. It seems now they might wait till they get to Canada before getting married. I found it funny that there seems to be an urban myth about an embassy. The photo is one of my favourites of a country landscape.

I love the light in this photo. The back-packers continually surprise us. We've met lads just a unit away from being neuropsychologists but they've chucked it in to go travelling.

@FayeHazel We wondered the same thing but it seems maybe they just chose the wrong course - but what a lot of wasted effort.

@JudyEv Oh wow. Neuropsych , I wonder why they decided to go travel right now with so little left to get their degree. Oh well, I hope they enjoy their travels. The light really brings out all the hills and valleys

I think Vince took it. It was in South Australia. Here is another I love from the same place.

Funniest thing I have heard in a while 'It is not the Embassy" There sure there is a story attached to this. Hope their plans to marry fructify despite this hassle.

Somewhere and I guess on the internet there must be a listing with this address. It seems really strange.

They left and didn't leave a forwarding address only a phone number. I'm sorry they can't get married in Western Australia. Very nice landscape.

I don't know that there was ever an embassy there. I guess there is one in the Eastern states somewhere.

I wonder how many other people show up at that address looking for an embassy.

I'd say quite a few or there wouldn't be a notice to the contrary. I guess they got the address off the internet somewhere.
