Interesting picture. If I'm not mistaken, those red and silver bowls on the ground are the compass roses that the teams had to carry on the first leg. I'd guess that is camera equipment on the table (or maybe battery packs). I'd also guess those are racer backpacks on the left side judging by the red and yellow tags. The bag in the foreground is interesting. I thought it says "Bookworks", but after looking more, I think it's "Woolworth", which I believe is still active in Australia (closed in the US). Anybody in Australia recognize that store logo?

Woolworths is the largest company in Australia. Its a supermarket chain, and they are in no danger of going under- They have more people on staff than every government job in the country, combined.

The fact that they have a Woolies bag is non-consequential imo. It is more likely production and/or racers stopped off to get something to eat and paid the extra dollar at the register for a canvas bag.

UAE is Asia for sure. The entire Arabian Peninsula is Asia.

Clarifying things above, sorry.

Kandance.........."continents" are defined by the Plate Tectonics Theory. If you google that, I am sure you will find many resources to explain. The boundry between Aisa and Arica is the Red Sea Rift.....which includes the Gulf of Aden.

This is also why Indonesia is considered part of the Australian plate in a physical geography sense. As far as cultural geography...then Indonesia is much more part of Asia than Australia.

Getting back to BayBay's photo for a moment.  I think the duffle bags are for the camera/sound crews, and not the Racers.  They all look too similar, and notwithstanding the yellow and red stripe, which I think points towards those bags belonging to the crews even more strongly than to the Racers, who tend to get different colors and styles.

Yes, the whole scene seems to have to do with production, such as those black things on the table.

By FT/BE clothes they are in Sydney, unless that's all they ever wear.

That may not be a team, couldn't match the backpacks. It's definitely not K/V J/C R/C G/M A/K maybe the sisters?

The team in the white circle looks to be Ron and Christina.

I see a phone, so unless they are borrowing it, it could be innocent bystanders

I think the white-circled team is Jet/Cord? If not that, then the person on the left might just be a camera operator given the large black thing on his shoulders.

The Globetrotters (red circle) are on Manly Wharf near the Bavarian Bier Cafe and the Kayak Centre in spoiler photos.

It's not Jet and Cord, they always wear jeans.

The one on the left could be a cameraman and may not be with the one on the right, their backpacks are quite different. The cameraman's pack is smaller, like the kind production use instead of the "camping" kind racers carry and the person on the right has.

I think the two in that team are both wearing black pants, the team member on the right is behind FT and that sound guy.

Here is a process of elimination

K/V
???
Ja/Ca
no, green backpack
Je/Co
jeans
R/C
Chris is wearing shorts w/ red pack
G/M
gray and red packs
A/K
shorts, red packs
Z/J
shorts
M/M
tan pants
FT/BE
obviously not
K/J
shorts and black packs
M/L
???

As you can see it is either Margie and Luke or Kynt and Vyxsin or somebody changed.

Here is Jet/Cord from Coutzy, earlier in the day in Sydney.....

Here is the white circle pic from BayBay




If you look to Flight Time's left and over the shoulder of the tourist in the blue T-Shirt....there appears to be Cord's cowboy hat.....going down, in the crook of the tourist's arm......a dark shirt.......going down farther to the ground......jeans and boots.....not tennis shoes......

The two people to our left, of Flight Time, could be the soundman/cameraman crew...but they appear to have a lot more gear on their backs in the second pic from BayBay, than in the first pic from Coutzy.


Or I just could be imagining things.......

I can see the racer indicated by the red arrow being Cord but the one under the green arrow is not Jet. I agree that it is not a crew member either b/c of the backpack.
Perhaps it is Luke, I can't find a good pic of him from Sydney, anyone know what his pack looks like?

 :lol:  All spoiler photos were taken very near each other.  Running racers are across the street from the Manly Wharf.  Note same traffic signal and awning-like decorations.   :lol3:
