Though not exactly "in his state", Christmas Island has very close ties with W.A. and is, to a large extent, administered and supported from W.A.
If you had ever forced yourself to go west of the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club you might know about that.
Downside of even considering Christmas Island is 7000 ft runway.
It is serviced from W.A. by using 737s only.
