I think it's GREAT That Sydney and Melbourne weren't directly mentioned as cities, but Brisbane was! WOO! BUT! We've had the Starships - Sydney Class and the U.S.S. Melbourne.
I'm sure there was also an episode where they mentioned Perth. Or maybe that was Kill Bill Vol. 2?

About your list, might be nice to separate it into the different shows. And what about ships named after places? The Sao Paulo's dedication plaque specifically says it's named for the people of Brazil. Of course that could mean there isn't a Sao Paulo anymore. . !

Well that would have been great if the Xindi weapon destroyed Sao Paulo along with parts of Florida.

How could it do that? I already find it hard to believe that it could have reached Venezuela. As I've already pointed out in the past (not here, mind you), when we last saw the beam it was just leaving Cuba, and it was going in the direction of Colombia. And a mere instant later, the probe was destroyed. In order to reach Venezuela, the beam would have had to rapidly accelerate and change direction in those few instants between when we switch from the beam on the surface to the sphere in orbit and when the sphere is destroyed and the beam ceases.
Of course, there are other possible explanations: Cuba may have become a part of Venezuela by the 22nd Century, or Starfleet personnel are complete dumbasses when it comes to world geography...
