This is the latest episode in a string of local media coverage of the England team on their tour of Australia.
Players were filmed on their arrival at Perth airport, with particular attention on Stokes and batter Joe Root.
The visitors have had drones follow them when they played golf and some players were pictures visiting an aquarium in Perth.
In the aftermath of a heavy defeat in the first Test, their performance and attitude came under heavy scrutiny. Former Australia pace bowler Mitchell Johnson said the England team are “arrogant”.
England are 1-0 down in the series and are planning a holiday in Noosa – north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast – following the second Test, regardless of the result.
Pope said England are “very aware” of the media attention but that they should be able to spend time away from cricket.
“For us as cricketers and as people it’s important to try and be able to switch off and be yourself,” said the Surrey batter.
Pope, 27, is on his second Ashes tour and highlighted the difference to his previous trip to Australia four years ago, when the England squad were subject to tough Covid restrictions.
“Locking your doors and not coming out of your room is the unhealthy thing to do, as we saw in Covid times,” said Pope.
“Whatever you’re doing in your off time, whether it’s just taking your mind away from cricket for a day or two, that’s really important.
“If they want to catch us doing that, then so be it. It is important to have that balance on a long tour like this.”
England have confirmed their team for the second Test, with all-rounder Will Jacks taking the place of the injured Wood.
