AusTAR has been on facebook and twitter advertising their new site. I found their twitter page today after I saw it on facebook-
http://twitter.com/amazingraceau
In other news, http://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-amazing-race-australia/ contains a "catch up" link to watch TAR:UB online, and I believe they will do the same for AusTAR.

I swear this has been updated since the website was put up.
I've noticed this bit, I don't think it's been posted anywhere so I'll put it here:
--- Quote ---Life on the road of a nearly 50,000km round-the-world adventure definitely wasn't without its challenges.

Could this help us calculate where some possible/missing destinations are?

--- Quote ---TWO Muslim best mates are the only Victorian members of the cast of the Australian version of The Amazing Race.
Youth worker Mo, 26, and retailer Mos, 25, join 10 other teams on the Channel 7 show, which has already been filmed.
The pairs have diverse backgrounds including models, married bikers, farmers, surfers and reunited sisters.
The boys, who grew up in Melbourne, said The Amazing Race is a great way to break down stereotypes, and in their case what it means to be Muslim.
"At the end of the day I think we're just showing what Muslims are human," Mo said.
"We are not any different and I think that's what the other contestants appreciated. That's what we learnt from each other.
"Travelling is the best way to get to know people and I think to break down stereotypes, because you're at your rawest."
"We are just one group of society and you walk away from it and think there is actually not much difference between any of us," Mo said.
The boys' Islamic faith meant they stopped to pray five times a day but it made no difference how they were accepted by other couples in the race.
The boys came together at the MCG last week, the place where they started the big race after landing on the hallowed turf by helicopter.They were tight-lipped about how they went but say it was the experience of a lifetime.
"Hands down it is the most absolutely amazing thing I have ever done," Mo said.
The Australian version of the show, hosted by Grant Bowler, is expected to premiere after Easter.
