always start off with the United States being destroyed.
shareActually Western Europe gets it first along with Western Africa.
In order for Perth to be the last city impacted the asteroid has to land mid-Atlantic. It's the only location that makes the plot work.

Someone who understands film!
shareProbably because Australia is very low on most everyone's hit list.
Logically, they probably would be last to go based on location and the fact they wouldn't be attacked.
A coward hides behind freedom. A brave person stands in front of it & defends it for others.
well it makes sense for Australia to be last, we are at the bottom of the earth and all. if the meteor hit the top end of the earth the impact would effect us last, since America is at the top. and since when do meteors come from the bottom of space?!
shareIf it's a nuclear exchange that's taken place (not this film but others like Mad Max, On the Beach etc) then the devastation of the US, Europe and Russia is pretty much a given.
It would have been possible for the meteor in this film to have hit Perth, in which case the North Atlantic would have been the last place to go, but then you would miss out on the ring of fire closing in, and it wouldn't have been as effective.
