Apparently the alternate is Learmonth...er thats 2 hours north...makes you wonder.

Most international arrivals into Perth are form the North, and there are landings at Learmonth from time to time, assuming the decision is made while you have enough fuel to get there
I think Pearce would be too small - large military aircraft have been known to use Perth. There are not lots of airports in WA where you can land a widebody.
