My score was 9 out of 10, still haven't worked out how copy and paste to here. The one on the wind I got wrong..being an almost obsessive weather and climate follower, I had heard about the Foehn effect, but not the name of that wind, though have heard of Brickfielder which wasn't on the list of choices..

This was a complete guess for me!!
Like you I had heard of both Foehn and Brickfielder….

Queston 9 is a bit of a worry is there a place in Qld called Fraser Island or has Anna changed that too to some unpronounceable Indigenes word.

Yes, the name of Frazer Island (Australia’s largest sand island) is now officially called K’garri - leave out the ‘k’ and pronounce it with just the ‘garri’
