Football on the beachWith more sunny days than any other state in Australia, Western Australia is the perfect place to get active in the great outdoors.

Join Australian Rules football fanatics as they cheer on local teams West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers at Subiaco Oval.

The stadium erupts in a patriotic roar when our boys kick a goal, lay a hearty tackle or take a screaming mark.

See why Aussie Rules is regarded as one of the toughest games in the world. You can catch a round between late March and early September.

For an authentic Australian sport experience, in Summer head to the WACA (Western Australian Cricket Association) to watch an explosive game of cricket.

Warm up your vocal chords and cheer on the boys between September and January.
