Got 14 missed Queanbeyan even auto correct fixed it here is Canberra even part of Australia. Lots of lucky guesses.  Think I knew about 7 or 8.

Great quiz! Enjoyed it.
Got 11/15. Knew most places- love geography, but was surprised at the spelling of some- never knew Leichhardt had a double 'h'.

I saw this on another forum but thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Of the 15 multiple choice questions, I got 12 right. I'd been to 9 of them, hadn't heard of 2 of them, took a lucky guess at one of them and was one letter off on the last one.

I'm a bit of a travel nerd and spelling nazi, so I thought it was fun ;D


Good luck!

11 - Thanks for the post Karen
