TAR 18 Locations/Destinations **spoilers**

--- Quote from: The Prophet on January 06, 2011, 02:58:33 PM ---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?

The green arrow probably points to Jet/Cord's cameraman.......check out the slacks, of the cameraman and soundman, in Coutzy's photo I posted. Then compare them to the slacks of those two guys in BayBay's photo.
That park is a "rally point." They are waiting for all the teams and crews to arrive to go to their hotel. I assume that the cameraman and soundman have picked up their backpacks from the production assistants/roadies that take care of moving them from city to city.
If Jet is there, he is probably completely hidden by Flight Time, ie, Jet is between the cameraman and Cord.

Some things I have picked up are:
- The water bottle packets say 'Tall Ship Water' which confirms (or pretty much confirms) that the Tall Ship was involved in the filming of Leg 1A
- Cabling shown in this and other photos I have indicate that production may have been there since the morning?

I would like to know just exactly where and when this photo was taken. This is a "Techie" table, set up for the people responsible for the battery packs for the cameras. I assume it is the local production crew that set it up. I think the backpacks belong to the TAR roadies (theatrical electrictions) that are in charge of the technical equipment, Not the backpacks of the cameramen or soundmen. I would assume that the cameramen and soundmen's backpacks are in a van parked near that downtown park where they end up. We have seen in the past the convoy of vans that TAR uses.
Is this Circular Quay?

Very nice TarJunkie, thank you! :jumpy:
I agree DrRox...
BayBay... do we know where the techy table is exactly?
BayBay:
I am unsure exactly but it is in the vicinity of Town Hall and the anchor.

I was just trying to figure out what the structure is in the background..with the arches. I guess it is a building, at first it looked like some kind of bridge arches.
Is this place a car park? Are those some kind of parking meters.....the black things sticking up?
From past races, we know that TAR has multiple production teams that arrive ahead of teams to set up the tasks and challenges and then work with the local hires. Then they flip flop on the different destinations. After Australia, that production team probably went to China to coordinate the activities in Lijiang and Kunming. The Japanese team probably headed to India to coordinate the activites there. Not meaning any kind of spoiler here, but just expounding on what we have seen WRP do in the past.
