G'day, g'day. Great to be back in Sydney after a weekend in Perth. And we'll tell you about that shortly because you would have seen Two Bikes Talking Optus on Sunday. I'm going to talk to Jane McNamara, who we spoke to on that show. We're going to talk to her here because you might not have heard Two Bikes Talking Tech. We also have a slightly more in-depth chat about the data that Optus got out of the football slash soccer games at Optus Stadium last weekend. That was a fun little trip. It was nice to be back in Perth. I didn't... I didn't plan it well. We ended up just being back-to-back busy and the rain was horrible, so I didn't get to see anyone. Anyone who I would have normally caught up with. So that was a pain, but the place has grown up.
The place is looking nice. It's doing well. The stadium's beautiful. The whole precinct around the stadium is spectacular. And it looks like they're doing a whole redevelopment around it as well, which looks spectacular. But, yeah, it's going to be lots going on. I think they're building it so that it can have like a racetrack. They're going to have the supercars there, which is wild to me, but, you know, I guess – I guess, you know, you build it and they will come. And it's cool. It's a precinct so close to the city that it all just kind of works. But, yeah, huge park area that's kind of closed off now for construction, which appears to be related to these, yeah, plans for the future and a lot going on.
I'm just clicking on it now. Annual motorsport event. The multi-use track will support a range of activities, including cycling and annual motorsport event. Cycle paths, accessibility, outdoor amphitheatre. And it's cool because it's like Perth has a great set of parklands already along the river on the city side and now they've got this cool bridge that goes over to the stadium and that's going to be a big park area as well. All I would say to Perth is I think you need to up your public transport game. I mean, it was just like 200 buses lined up outside the stadium. I'm thinking buses are such an inefficient form of transport. I don't think Perth's big enough for a metro, but they've got a train line, but I don't know.
I just felt like most of the people were not catching any form of transport other than a bus. Maybe I'm wrong. If you're in Perth, tell me how I'm wrong, but I would have thought if you're building this Perth Park... You know what? And I get it. You don't want to encourage cars, but just dig a big hole and put a car park underground and charge crazy money for the parking. But... Yeah, I don't know. I feel like it was just a lot of people moving out of the area at the time. But yeah, gorgeous stadium. They did a really good job with that. It's a lovely stadium. I can imagine it packed for an AFL game, especially the local derby. See, they call it a derby over there, not a derby. You've got to know your Perth vernacular, folks.
How did Optus gather and analyse data from the two soccer games at Optus Stadium?
But, yes, it was cool. We were there as guests of Optus to do a sponsored podcast and everything else that came with it is good for them. But, yeah, really enjoyed it. Really enjoyed the time there. So we'll talk to Jane McNamara from Optus shortly. We will also take your calls. So whatever your question, we've got a bunch of people wanting assistance. So we'll get to them today and we'll try and help you out. Next week, I will bring you that interview with Michele Butti from Amazon and more calls.
