A Jam Packed Weekend

A year ago we got ourselves tickets to the Bledisloe Cup which we were excited about and we then decided to make the most of the weekend.

We drove up to Perth from Esperance in record time, we left early Friday morning and there was just no traffic on the road. As we arrived so early we had plenty of time for a bit of shopping and a nap before a big night out. We went to Fleetwood Mac and it was awesome. We got the train in and the arena was pumping with people.

A good view


Our seats were pretty good, straight in front and in the first tier so that little people can see! It was one of the best concerts I’ve been to. It opened with The Chain and the crowd went wild. Fleetwood Mac would not be a concert I would normally see, but it was worth every penny. I knew all the songs and I loved the live solos that only old-school bands seem to do. The drum solo went for at least 20 minutes!

Saturday was rugby night. We got the train in again and had a beer in the sun in the beer garden set up outside the stadium. We went inside and watched the women’s game before the national anthems, the Hakka and then kick off for the main event. We were front row of the top tier where we could see the whole game. The sound and effects in the stadium were incredible and well worth going to see something. I was excited to see my first live rugby game and I had no qualms with the unexpected result!

A birds eye view

To wrap up our action packed weekend we went for a game of golf before bussing it to the stadium for West Coast vs Adelaide. Again, this was an awesome game. We were in line with where we were for the rugby, but second row from the turf where you can hear the grunts and whistles. The only issue with sitting here was the sun was in our eyes for half the game. However, we left happily with a win. From this weekend, we were off on a week long camping expedition.
