I would have expected Perth to be west of Beijing. I think the thing that surprises people is that Australia and New Zealand are further *east* than they expect... but they're not *that* far east.

People always seem surprised that NZ is only 3 hours away from California in time zones (during the summer).

Yes! That's because they're surprised it's so far east. (Though it's still 4 hours of timezones west of California, it's just summer time changes it to 3 or 5 most of the year.) See also the "Santiago is east of Boston" one above!
