Innisfail, Queensland. (When I lived elsewhere in Sydney as a schoolgirl, not far from us was one house with the name tag "Innisfail", & a neighbouring house one or two doors away had a matching name tag "Innisfallen". However, "ceud mile fáílte" means a hundred thousand welcomes in Irish Gaelic).  

I'd wondered where Innisfail's name comes from, and your post here inspired me to look it up — interesting info from Wikipedia that suggests the origin of your neighbours' house name "Innisfallen" as well:

Later in 1879, Irishman Thomas Henry Fitzgerald arrived in the area to establish a sugar industry at his Innisfail Estate (now the locality of that name). He was accompanied by large numbers of Kanaka South Sea Islanders workers accompanied by smaller numbers of Irish labourers. The house built by Fitzgerald and thus the first establishment in the area was called Innisfallen, after the largest island in the Lakes of Killarney, Ireland. Inis Fáil (island of destiny) is an ancient Irish name for Ireland itself.

Back to the game...

Leongatha, Victoria, Australia (nice country town in South Gippsland, not far from where I grew up) 

Amphitheatre (Victoria, Australia)

Epping Forest, London (an area in northeast London, presumably originally with lots of trees). 

Traralgon, Victoria. I've at least passed through this town more than once or twice over the years. I think it would be more of a challenge to find out how it got its name, than either Innisfail or Innisfallen. @courtenay Thanks for looking up those names, when originally, as a child, I thought it might have had something to do with failing and falling over.  

Nice (France) - Prounced "neess" - not like the word in English for something pleasant that is spelt the same way.

Eindhoven, in North Brabant, one of the states that make up The Netherlands. 

Noosa (Queensland, Australia)

Auckland,  New Zealand 

Dunedin, New Zealand, to where my great-grandfather's family migrated from Glasgow in Scotland, when he was still a child, his father being a rope spinner by trade.  

Napier, to continue the New Zealand theme.  

Rotorua - also in keeping with the New Zealand theme!  

Ashburton, New Zealand in the South Island, where others of my great-grandfather's family lived some decades ago.

Havelock, a town in NZ, (not to be confused with Havelock North, in another part of NZ)

Kaimataitai, in Otago Province, New Zealand.
