Before we start today's pod, we want to thank Tourism Western Australia,

who are sponsoring this episode.

Optus Stadium in Perth is, of course, the venue for the first Ashes Test.

Yep, love coming to Perth.

Desperate record playing in Perth, however.

Putting the cricket to one side,

really love going out to Rotnest Island,

and way back on my first Ashes tour in 1991 with

Phil Toffinal behind the wheel. Well, my favourite thing about Perth is visiting family. My sister

lives in Perth now, so I'm going to go and see her. She unfortunately married an Australian,

but I won't hold that against her, so I'm looking forward to catching up with

my sister in Perth. You can fly direct from London to Perth, and once you land, it's all about

the sunshine and laid-back Aussie vibe. Loads of great food, excellent local wine, white

sand beaches, and so many unforgettable nature and wildlife experiences on offer too.

Have you ever been to Rotnest Island to meet the Quokers, Nass?

I have. I've been a couple of times and I'm hoping to go back this time as well, actually,

after the test match. So looking forward to that and I love Rotteness Island,

just getting away from it all.

Leave the everyday behind then, get away from the well-known and well-trodden

and reconnect with something unspoiled,

even a little wild,

in Western Australia.
