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.
