Monarchs (Kings) + precipice (cliff) = Kingscliff

Just north of Tweed Heads in New South Wales is the beachside town of Kingscliff. With white, sandy beaches and good surf, you can surf, kayak or snorkel the reef. Swimming with the turtles is also a popular activity. On land there are excellent cycling tracks, nearby Tropical Fruit World, regular markets and enough cafes and restaurants to satisfy everyone.
2. Harbour Actor Kirk

Answer: Port Douglas

Harbour (Port) + Actor Kirk (Douglas) = Port Douglas

Port Douglas is in far North Queensland, north of Cairns and between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest. Port Douglas was formed in 1877 during the gold boom, but the decline of the gold rush and completion of the Kuranda Railway from Cairns to Kuranda saw Port Douglas's importance in the area deteriorate. Despite this, the town is a very popular stop for tourists.

Mr Dumpty (Humpty) + Scooby (Doo) = Humpty Doo

Humpty Doo is in the Northern Territory, about 40 km south of Darwin. Travel along the Arnhem Highway and you'll know when you've reached Humpty Doo when you see the big Boxing Crocodile. There are lots nature parks, wildlife reserves and cultural tours to go on, or you can get adventurous with expeditions or helicopter flights. Afterwards there's a plethora of pubs where you can slake your thirst.
4. Fresh palace

Answer: Newcastle

Fresh (New) + palace (castle) = Newcastle

Newcastle is sited on the Hunter River, north of Sydney and on the New South Wales Coast. Originally called Coal River, the name was changed to Newcastle, after Newcastle Upon Tyne, one of England's Coal Ports. Coal is still the major industry here, but Newcastle is close to the Hunter Valley, an area known for its wines.
5. Stone King Henry's Court

Answer: Rockhampton

Stone (Rock) + King Henry's Court (Hampton) = Rockhampton

Lismore is a city in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales and is closer to Brisbane than Sydney. Lismore has a sub-tropical climate that tends to be quite humid in summer, ideal for the rainforests and National parks in the area. Performer Peter Allen, cricketer Adam Gilchrist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange all lived in Lismore at one time or another.
7. President Ford heavyweight

President Ford (Gerald) + heavyweight (ton) = Geraldton

Found just over 400km north of Perth in Western Australia, Geraldton is a major seaport for the west coast, and acts as a hub for mining, fishing, agriculture and tourism. The beaches around Geraldton allow for excellent fishing, boating, diving, surfing and four-wheel driving opportunities. The Geraldton Sunshine Festival, which marks the beginning of spring, is one of Australia's longest running festivals.
8. Cold symptoms Moorings

Answer: Coffs Harbour

Cold symptoms (Coughs) + Moorings (Harbour) = Coffs (coughs) Harbour

Coffs Harbour is on the Central New South Wales Coast, between Newcastle and the Gold Coast. The industry of the area was initially, and still is timber and bananas as evidenced by the 'Big Banana' tourist attraction. There are a number of National and Marine Parks in the area which also draws the tourists.
9. Renter Stream

The climate is generally hot, wet and humid in Summer with mild, dry days in Winter. If you want to visit Tennant Creek, try to go in June or July.
10. Chef village

Answer: Cooktown

Chef (Cook) + village (town) = Cooktown

Cooktown is found north of Cairns on the Cape York Peninsula. It was originally named Cooks Town because this was where Captain James Cook beached the Endeavour to undertake repairs. The name was later shortened to Cooktown.

The aboriginal word for the area is Gangaar, which means 'Place of the Rock Crystals'. The quartz found in the area was used in traditional ceremonies across Australia.

As with many towns in the region, after the gold rush of the late 19th century was over, Cooktown reinvented itself as a tourist area.
