If the 73W can go 6 hours with a full load that would mean
BNE is ok for Palau and Guam
BNE (27°23'S 153°07'E) ROR (07°22'N 134°20'E) 2345 nm 5:26
BNE (27°23'S 153°07'E) GUM (13°29'N 144°48'E) 2488 nm 5:46

Continental Micronesia currently operate a 737-800 out of CNS once a week to GUM I believe, Air Mike used to fly a DC-10 down to SYD for years up to GUM but it of course ended when CO pulled out of Oz.

I travelled on an Air Mike B727 from CNS to GUM in 1998, aircraft was full and seemed to be a very popular flight. Departed CNS about 1230am.
Guam, Saipan, Palua and Chuuck are very popular with the Japanese and divers. Though my best memories are of 'Club X' in Saipan.

SYD-PER is nearly 6 hours when punching into a good headwind. This isn't a struggle for the 800W and we don't get near to max takeoff weight.
BNE-PER is a bit over 2000 nm via the airway - 1970 direct I believe.
