So, where is this mythical land of sun, sea and wine, and why have hardly any Brits heard of it? Just a couple of hours’ drive from Perth – the same city hosting some of the biggest Ashes and Lions matches this year – it turns out. Which is exactly why you should add it to the top of your Australia bucket list, if you’re looking to jump on the latest sports-tripping hype and make an adventure of it, as tens of thousands are expected to do for the cricket and rugby events later this year (15,000 additional tourists jetted into Australia for the last Lions tour, and 30,000 for the Ashes).
