For some reason my pms are being super slow and unresponsive so I'm just gonna reply to u here. I thought the scenery in Antigua and Barbuda would be wonderful for a pirate task. It is also one of Phils favorite places to visit, although that doesn't have much to do with the production of the leg. As far as Europe goes, maybe a major Eastern European city such as Prague/Budapest, followed by lesser known Eastern European cities/towns (in new countries)

Graffiti Roadblock at Hosier Lane
If they film in Melbourne, Grand Final Week (September 25-30), they need to be VERY careful, as many people will be out and about (including me), so spoilers! Also, it would be just crazy to film on the 29th, as 100,000 people are out and about for the GF parade! (episcally at the MCG)

We had a changing of the guard task in S25.

Also I think instead of Melbourne they should visit Queensland which hasn't been seen since S4. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Whitsundays, Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas & Barrier Reef are all possible locations.

Imagine they fly to Brisbane then get charter flights to Fraser Island.

The next leg they travel back to Brisbane where they visit the Koala Sanctuary, Detour on Southbank before having a surfing roadblock in nearby Gold Coast.

They could do 2 legs in the Cairns, Port Douglas, Kuranda, Barrier Reef vicinity.

Or they could do Brisbane/Gold Coast & The Whitsundays.

I think these would play host to amazing legs. Or we could have either the Whitsundays, Fraser Island or Cairns combined with Melbourne.

Yes the Gold Coast is a VERY good idea! Maybe Tasmania could be replaced with it??? I'm not sure about 2 legs in one state. I'm not too sure if the viewers would like it! Plus, we saw Cairns TAR4!

@nrh2110 I agree with your own assessment of your route; it's not the flashiest, but it definitely is realistic and interesting in of itself. And I quite like it, although that could just be my personal bias of enjoying realistic routes more than fantastic impossibilities. I could actually see WRP using this route, although Turkey is a bit of a question mark currently.
