Stepping off the plane and walking out the doors of Perth Airport, North's players were quick to feel the heat.

A stark contrast to the cloudy skies experienced at this morning's training session at Aegis Park, temperatures above 35 degrees greeted the Kangaroos upon their arrival in the West.

There was some relief though.. an afternoon dip at the club hotel allowed for some cooling of the muscles after a long flight.

kangaroos.com.au is travelling with the team so stay tuned for another edition of Follow Swallow, Boomer’s Banter updates, live scores, stats, exclusive in-room photos and Dream Team updates.
