    Which test are you heading to? I'm seriously thinking of coming over for the last test and hopefully at least 1 T20 for the missus around Sydney as I have relatives that way

    I live in Perth so it will be the tests here. We are also Perth Scorchers members so whatever games we can get to at Optus Stadium. In fairness it’s Mrs K you need to be speaking to. She’s the one really into the cricket so I just go along with what she tells me I’m going to!!

    Well that's decided it for me, I'll be cheering on the Scorchers in the Big Bash. Durhams Ashton Turner skippering the side as well. Haway the Scorchers, as Bumble would say....start the ute!

    Not a bad thing though - I'm trying to talk the missus into head out over there. Think she fancies it, thinking it might be the whole cost that could be putting her off

    I sometimes wear a SAFC top to the games and we have front row seats on the bottom tier. Mrs K and me have been seen on the telly once or twice.

    Just a holiday for about a month. Stop overs on the way there and back for a couple of days. There's also the fact that we've been TUPE'd over and my holidays did run from April to March which meant I could've held some back till after Xmas, now its January to December which means I'm taking the bulk of them in the first month!

    Well if you decide to stay in Perth for a few days let me know. I’m sure we can all meet up for a beer or two

    Cheers mate. If the last test was at Perth I would've took you up on this but as I have said my relatives are based a few hours from Sydney and at Canberra so if it does happen we'll be on the other side of the country. Thanks for the offer though and I'll keep an eye out for you on tv <cheers>

    I know I’m sidetracking slightly but whereabouts are your relatives? My son is in the RAN and based in Nowra and lives in Gerringong. Anywhere near your family?

    Got family in Perth and Sydney, plus friends in Melbourne and Brisbane. Hoping to get out to Melbourne for the 2029/30 Ashes. This one came round too soon for me to plant the seed with the missus. My sister has just got back from Oz and is already planning her next trip.

    I've been twice and absolutely love it! Darling Harbour in Sydney is probably my favourite place

    Actually Warilla is not too far from my son in Gerringong. He sometimes goes up to Shellharbour with his girlfriend for an afternoon.

    Lived out here for 17 years now. Still love living in Perth. It helped that I left home when I was 17 and never returned so never really set down any firm roots anywhere.
