Interesting, looking at the pictures I would say its a contrail, EK420 is due in around that time and earlier there was a Qatar overflight:

THIS fiery streak in the sky amazed Perth beachgoers at sunset as a suspected meteor plunged into the ocean off the WA coast. PerthNow reader Gavin Trought snapped the 'fire in the sky' as it appeared over Cottesloe, Perth, just before sunset on Friday, with remnants of the phenomenon still visible in the sky this afternoon.
"The weird streak in the sky as seen from Cottesloe last night. I noticed it just before sunset," he told us.

REU952? That Air Austral flight seems to leave a contrail over Perth quite regularly.

I seem to remember seeing it around 3-4pm most days I've seen it, but if it was running a little late, it would co-incide with sunset...
