Well
I had placeholder flights for Ashes dates in Brissy, Melbourne and the home test

Holy smoke
The hotel costs are extortionate

So I’m sussing out Youth Hostel options

Also Bangladesh will be along later on 2026 and CA are looking to hold the Tests in Darwin Mackay Cairns or Townsville which would mean the 2026/27 season would bypass the Gabba
 
I'm going to Perth (and Sydney). As of today, the only Hilton with rooms was Northbridge and they want $850 pr night. Parmelia Hilton was offering a Diamond Guarantee at over $1150. That's what I've paid for a 4 night booking done the day the match dates were published. A lot of the English will be coming.

I've got a 10-man box at the Gabba, and I reckon the price has gone up by over $10k on the same box from 2021
A family tradition for me and the 5 sons plus 4 mates. Booked the accommodation at the start of the year just get something at a decent price
