Alnwick, a town with medieval origins in Northumberland, north-east England. (Pronounced "Annick", to rhyme with "panic". I'm guessing that if a state of lawlessness broke out there, it would be Alnwick-y. )

Keswick, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.

If Alnwick rhymes with "panic", would both Alnwick & panic rhyme with Keswick, I humbly ask?
Karlstad, Minnesota, USA

Er, no, not unless Keswick is pronounced "Kannick". Over here where the original Keswick is, it's pronounced "Kezzick". How the one in Adelaide is pronounced, I don't know. But back to the game...

Yarmouth, a town on the East Coast of England.
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Traralgon, Victoria, a place in Australia I have definitely visited with my father, in 1963, I think it was.

I've got an auntie who lives there!
Narrabri, New South Wales, Australia, a town I know I have also visited (passing through on family trips by car up to Queensland in both 1989 and 1990).

Sorrento, Victoria, near where on 9th October 1803, a settlement was founded, by Lieutenant Governor David Collins, who took 2 ships, the HMS Calcutta, with convicts and their guards, including an ancestor of mine, a sergeant in the Royal Marines. Whilst the second ship, the Ocean, had free settlers. A man passed away on their arrival, & his widow and 4-year-old daughter were left to fend for themselves. Convicts escaped, into surrounding bushland, whilst others fell sick. By February 20th, 1804, Collins packed up his settlement. Still in the Calcutta but now accompanied by the Lady Nelson, they went to Van Diemen's Land to found the now city of Hobart, where the sergeant married the widowed lady, on 18/3/1804, and thus became an ancestor of mine.
@waggawerewolf27 Fascinating family history! (And by the way, if anyone remembers the hit song Sorrento Moon by Tina Arena in the early 1990s, I recall she admitted in an interview that it's really referring to Sorrento in Victoria (where she comes from), not Sorrento in Italy. )
Oahu, the most populated island in the archipelago of Hawaii.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where in the Rijksmuseum, you might find Dirk Hartog's original pewter plate, from 25th October, 1616, nailed up on the eponymous island in the mess of peninsulas & islands that make up Shark Bay. Willem de Vlamingh, who found Rottnest Island, & the Swan River, about 1697, found the plate, rewrote Hartog's inscription on a new pewter plate, adding notes of his own. He took the Hartog plate back to Amsterdam, and I've seen his own Vlamingh plate, now in the National Maritime Museum at Freemantle, outside Perth (WA)

"Torna a Surriento" or "Come back to Sorrento" is the name of an old Neapolitan song, one of Dean Martin's repertoire. That one was definitely the Italian town, but the settlement at Sorrento, Victoria, on the Mornington Peninsula was definitely revisited eventually, when in 1835, John Batman planned to settle the Port Phillip city now called Melbourne (or Naarm), but which he wanted to call Batmania, at first.
