An evening in Fremantle with some famous fish and chips and a drink at the wonderful Little Creatures brewery is also recommended.

The Perth Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in the suburb of Burswood.

This will be England's first Test match here, and it will certainly be a tough start - Australia have a very strong record in Test matches here, since it replaced the famous WACA. Stokes and McCullum will be desperate to get off to a strong start in Perth after England's slow start in the last home Ashes series proved decisive.
