TAR15 may have had the best tasks ever. Who can forget the haybale switchback or the dutch farmers detour or both detour options in the first Dubai leg. I could go on.
The penultimate leg that year was epic in task design but it did not stand alone, just reflected the great tasks there had been that year.
And there's always EAT THE WASABI!!!
(edit: I forgot the tiny instruments!)

I agree whole-heartedly. Season 15 was very under-rated in my opinion. Great season.

I only count 5. They never visited Australia.

What continent is New Zealand part of?
Interestingly enough New Zealand is not considered part of the continent of Australia. Australia only officially includes itself along with Guinea and parts of Indonesia. Apparently in an effort to give places like New Zealand a continent the concept of Oceania was created but it's boundaries and the question of whether it is a continent are disputed.
I'm not sure who decided all this ??? Maybe a geography expert here can explain.

The continent is Australia (Including Tasmania), Papua New Guinea and the part of Indonesia directly attatched. It's all one big landmass, but a lot of it is submerged. New Zealand is on a different continental shelf.

Oceania is a region, Australia is a continent.
