never-visited-by-an-Amazing-Race <------ :iok :lol3:
It will probably NZ first, then Aussie as Weihen's source told him, and if it's indeed aussie, I doubt melbourne gonna be the place to visit, unless they want to divert it with the start of TAR Aus season 3..

Check out Neobie's transport info. Almost certainly the race will go next to NZ... although AUS could follow.

Simply because an international edition of TAR (any of them) has been to a location has no influence on whether the mothership goes there. TAR original has never been to Melbourne (even though it hosted the 1956 Summer Olympics) and given Bertram's penchant for wanting to get to Olympics host cities, we can't rule it out.
For that matter, if the first two legs were in fact Tahiti/Bora Bora, and the next leg is New Zealand, it is 50-50 as to whether New Zealand is one or two legs, or Australia is one or two legs. By that point, we'd be at five legs of a presumed 12, and that leaves room for countries in Africa and South America for this edition.
The last couple of seasons have been Europe heavy (I suspect so that they could do a Europe-free season) and they've done the South/Latin America back to the end city a couple of times in recent seasons, so I think that remains a possibility, especially if the end city is not on the east coast or the west coast, but somewhere in the heartland.

TAR Norway hardly counts in this discussion. The U.S. version has never visited Melbourne and is long overdue to visit!

I have exchanged PMs with Neobie. As I frequently do, he is utilizing flight information to make a best guess. The flights do focus attention on getting to Auckland, but the racers do not have to stop in New Zealand. They could change planes and continue to several Australian cities. Amazing Races do frequently land after dark, which is one reason why Neobie has cited for selecting New Zealand because there is time to run a leg in the daytime. We hopefully will be able to find the teams soon.
