AUSSIE fans are heading to the wild west on a mission - to watch our Test heroes return the urn to home soil.
Australia has dominated the first two Tests of the Ashes, and only need to finish off the Poms in Perth to win back the famous trophy for the first time since 2007.
Australia's winning streak in the opening two Ashes Tests has resulted in a flurry of last-minute Perth accommodation bookings.

The Wotif figures were based on year-on-year forward bookings comparing the periods of this summer's Tests with the previous Ashes series.
