| Hope to see some of you visit Perth. Great city, lovely beaches and nib stadium is a great compact rugby league stadium. You can even stand on a terrace (shed end). Seats in east stand all give a great view and you get the panaramic city skyline as a backdrop from that stand.
Me I'll be catching opener in Melbourne, back to Perth for my home game, Brisbane for a week to catch semi and final.
For those coming to Perth great things to do:
Rottnest island for a selfie with a quokka (ferry from. City, freo or hillarys)
Caversham wildlife park to feed the kangaroos and cuddle a koala (20min drive)
Little creatures brewery in freo (train or ferry from city, markets on a weekend worth a visit)
Homestead brewery in swan valley and do some wine tasting at vineyards (30min drive)
Cottesloe beach for swim (15min drive)
Clancy fish pub in city beach for a chilled out lunch and beers overlooking Indian Ocean (15min drive)
Sorrento quay, great swimming area and restaurants and beach. 3 sheets for food and breakwater for beers and watch the sunset (30min drive)
If staying a bit longer head down to Margaret river region, great vineyards, breweries and lovely area to stay. Go via Busselton and go on jetty to underwater observatory (3 hour drive)
Cheapest car hire place is Bayswater car hire $25 a day. Perth is easy to drive around and getting a car is a good idea as you can head out to the valley and down south if staying a few days. Public transport is also pretty good though if staying in city and just going to main places like freo.

Sorry if this sounds dismissive - as you have been much more clued up on the tournament than I so far - but are you sure on those Melbourne prices? They look like concession prices to me. Cheapest I found was $80 or so.

| Italy putting the cleaners through Russia is a good result for the cup.
I see they are playing their games in North Queensland and Canberra, both areas with large Italian ex-pat populations, so that works better than Russia, who have very few ex-pats in Aus.
