I like how challenging this is, but it could use a little more time. Some of the answers are pretty hard to spell, might take a couple of tries to get right - by the time I spelled the fourth one right, I only had a minute left!

Port Hedland is still listed as in Queensland, instead of Western Australia.

And maybe accept arroyo for wadi too? Since they’re the same thing with the difference being where in the world the landform is found.

Q: The Limpopo River empties just west of what major city?

Calling Xai-Xai a major city is a bit of a stretch, given it's got a population of just over 100,000.
