The Amazing Race International Versions > TAR Australia
TAR AUS 5 ROUTE (including media info) (SPOILERS)
tarflyonthewall:
Here's a visual representation of the timeline we have. White legs are confirmed (I forgot about the early-morning Palm Island visit, which explains that gap), yellow are speculated, and gray are speculated days off, either as proper rest days or because teams are travelling between locations.
Travelling is going to be the big timewaster here. Regional Australia is really not very well connected at all at the best of times - like the best options to travel from Port Lincoln to Esperance normally are either a 15-hour drive through the desert or a full day of flying via both Adelaide AND Perth. And it's just going to be even worse here, especially with Melbourne out of play for getting in and out of Tasmania.
I'd have no problems believing some of the legs are combined except they're simply too far apart, both in timing and distance, for it to work. Like Esperance and Kalgoorlie are 500km apart with basically nothing in between, and Hobart and New Norfolk are super close together but the spoilers were days apart, and Bulgong could be combined with Dubbo except Beau listed like five major locations in the area that can only realistically fit there if there were two legs. This is the only way I can see to make everything work.

I'm a bit confused by this route. in terms of travel distance. For example, Daintree rainforest to Brisbane is telling me is 21 hours away.
However, Daintree to Brisbane is telling me only 21 minutes away.
I'm not from Australia so I don't know these landmarks at all.
tarflyonthewall:
The Daintree Rainforest is in northern Queensland. It's about a two hour flight from Port Douglas (the closest major town) to Brisbane.
I tried doing the usual "line on a map" to explain the route but it just ended up a mess, so I've numbered the expected locations of each leg on the attached map. Basically after Leg 1, we're flying to the bottom of Queensland and working our way back up to the top, then travelling straight down the centre of the country, then going north through both Western Australia and Tasmania, then doing a weird zigzag around New South Wales before ending in Canberra.

Have we got anything for WA other than a glimpse of Lake Hillier in the promo? I've seen nothing otherwise.
I went back to the starting line as this particular shot below was bugging me. Turns out the Aboriginal ceremony was taken further up the coast (approx 2kms north). The shot appears to be flipped in the promo, as can be seen by Jordan being on the right of Violetta here, but on the left during their close-ups. Again the tides aren't exactly right, but the shape of the lake seems pretty similar.
Will be interesting to see if they're magically teleported to the start line during the show.

Guys, I absoutely LOVE what you are all doing.
But PLEASE....remember this a ROUTE only thread.
Discussions on team placing should not be here.
Some people want to know the routes but NOT placements.
So please... NO PLACEMENTS HERE. NO TEAM DISCUSSION HERE.
Those can go in the Discussion of LIVE spoilers.
~~~~~~~~~~~
All discussions on teams have now been moved to the Discussion of Live Spoilers.
Great work everyone!
