I'm really enjoying this series. I'm surprised Brunei isn't here as it looks on a map to be about the same distance from Perth as Philippines, and a little closer than Cambodia. And if India makes it into the list, what about Sri Lanka?

Brunei should have been there. I have now corrected it. Tiny country, easy to miss (no offense Brunei). As to India and Sri Lanka, the only reason India is on this list is because of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which are an Indian territory significantly south and east of mainland India. Sri Lanka is approx. 5,577 km (3,466 mi) away from Perth, so it didn't make the list.

I am glad to hear you are enjoying. Keep coming back and be sure to nominate. Thank you for your input.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands are not an overseas territory. They are Union Territory of India and fully part of the Republic.

Mauritius has some smaller islands closer to Diego Garcia (whose Creole population was removed by Britain, and which Mauritius and Britain both dispute).

Correct. The UK Government is in direct breach of a United Nations Directive to hand back the islands to Mauritius and repatriate the evicted Chagos Islanders.

As paragons of truth and justice, we chose to simply ignore the UN, mainly because we now lease the island to the US Military to assist with various war crimes.

Listen very carefully when you hear the British criticise other nations for non-compliance with UN orders, and make your own mind up about what’s righteous and what’s not.

one of those quizzes where you open google maps before even going to the comments, out of sheer disbelief. Crazy fact!

A friend from NSW joked going out to WA was like going to a different country, so maybe the reverse is true for them?

A beautiful part of the world, although I feel that it would feel so isolating to live there!

As a Perth resident, it doesn't feel isolated at all. In fact we're a lot closer to big overseas population centres than the east coast of Australia.
