West Australian Football League
The West Australian Football League (WAFL "waffle" or "W-A-F-L") is an Australian rules football league based in Perth, Western Australia. The league currently consists of ten teams, which play each other in a 20-round season usually lasting from April to September, with the top five teams playing off in a finals series, culminating in a Grand Final. The league also runs reserves, colts (under-19) and women's competitions. The WAFL was founded in 1885 as the West Australian Football Association (WAFA), and has undergone a variety of name changes since then, re-adopting its current name in 2001.

Kukerin, Western Australia
Kukerin is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, south-east of Perth between Dumbleyung and Lake Grace just off Dumbleyung Lake Grace Road on State Route 107. The town itself is small but services a considerable agricultural region in the eastern Shire of Dumbleyung. At the 2021 census, Kukerin and its surrounding areas had a population of 55. History According to an official source, Kukerin's name is of Aboriginal origin, was first recorded as the name of a local soak and gully in 1908 and has also been spelled "Cookerin", but the precise meaning is not known. However, in local languages, words such as ''karkar'' mean "east", and the townsite is near the eastern edge of country traditionally owned by the Wiilman people. There is no evidence for a popular theory that the area was named after sandalwood cutters named "Cooke" and "Ring". Until 1912, the area was known as Merilup (a name that now refers to an area to the south). In the 1870s, John Ho ...
