Jake Drage says he is happy to be free from prison and being able to meet his niece for the first time

EXCLUSIVE: Garlic prawns, nachos, a hot shower and a flushing toilet. There were many things Aussie Jake Drage missed while in an Indonesian jail but they’re not what he missed the most.

JakeDavid, 23, arrives at Cibadak court district, West Java, Indonesia on October 16 last year.

GARLIC prawns, nachos and fruit salad.

These were the first things Jake Drage ate when he arrived back home in WA this week after being released from an Indonesian jail.

The Geraldton fitness instructor spent nine months at Warungkiara Prison in West Java after he was found guilty of reckless driving following a motorcycle crash last year.

An Indonesian woman died after she was thrown from the motorcycle she was travelling on when it collided with Mr Drage’s vehicle in June 2014.

The 24-year-old has always maintained the death was an accident.

But he was still found guilty in October and sentenced to nine months in jail and fined one million rupiah.

He was finally released from prison last week but had to spend a further seven days in custody while being processed through Indonesian immigration.

Speaking from his home in Geraldton, Mr Drage said he was relieved to be amongst his family and friends who have supported him throughout the ordeal.

“I am just so relieved to be back home,” he told news.com.au. “It will take a few days to sink in. I am just taking some time to acclimatise back into Australia.”

Besides eating his favourite foods, Mr Drage said he has loved being able to indulge in a few creatures comforts that aren’t available in an Indonesian prison.

“Having a hot shower and being able to use a flushing toilet,” he said “The simple things have been very important as well as swimming in the Indian Ocean.”

But of all the things he has enjoyed being able to do, the top of his list has been meeting his niece for the first time.

“That was a highlight,” he said.

While he is reluctant to talk of his time in prison, or the Indonesian judicial system, preferring to tell reporters at Perth international Airport when he arrived on Tuesday that he will discuss it soon now that no one was “standing over” him, he did tell news.com.au that he was treated well inside.

“They looked after me well and they are going to continue with the fitness and English classes I started, “ he said. “I was a role model to prisoners and staff.”

And while he is happy to be home he does want to return to Indonesia to finish his travels.

He also said he wanted to thank everyone who has supported him and his mum Tiena over the nine months, adding the ordeal was stressful on all of them.
