The source is rubbish. Adelaide Hills isn't a city. Nor is Canberra Capital Hill. Canberra Capital Hill is in Canberra.

I fixed it using a different source, thanks.

Some of these are Cities, some are towns, but many are parts of larger cities. Each city in Australia (eg Melbourne) is usually treated as a single metropolitan area. This is where you get the populations of the largest cities.

Technically each metro area is broken into 'cities' (eg Whitehorse in Melbourne) but virtually no-one ever uses these as 'city' names, they are really just local councils. There are also 'suburbs' (like Ferntree Gully in Melbourne) but these could never be considered suburbs.

You have mixed together all three in this list.

Melbourne can't have a population of 3.8 million if you then count Brunswick, Malvern and many other suburbs as individual cities. Lots of double counting going on here.

Maybe you should develop some idea of the geography of Australia before making up a quiz, rather than rely on one extremely poor source.

I made the quiz in order to learn more cities in Australia. I do not live there so I have no way of getting an idea of the geography other than online sources. This isn't a featured quiz so it doesn't have to be good, I just made it for fun.

North Shore, Parramatta, Liverpool and Blacktown are all part of Sydney as well

There are a lot of problems with this quiz. Numbers are off, lots of major cities are missing, and it includes lots of places that definitely not cities.
