No TAR 20 was still in Paraguay in Dec 1. We suspect they left for Europe in Dec 2.

Assuming that we have not already reached the 12th leg in Beijing, then the finale will be the 12th leg from Beijing to somewhere. I expect it will be in New Zealand or Australia that ARAus2 ends. Here are the most compact flights with 0 or 1 connections from Beijing to the indicated major city (with arrival and departure times in connecting city not shown):

Auckland - Dragonair 981 PEK HKG 1330 -  connecting with NZ80 HKG AKL -  1110+1

Sydney - CA173 PEK SYD 1700 0740+1

Melbourne CA165 PEK MEL 2350 1450+1

Adelaide CA165 PEK MEL 2350 1450+1 connecting with QA683 MEL ADL  -  1730+1

Brisbane CA165 PEK MEL 2350 1450+1 connecting with QA628 MEL BNE  - 1915+1

Darwin QA292 PEK SIN 0250 -  connecting with QA272 SIN DRW - 0430+1

Perth MH 377 PEK KUL 0855 - connecting with MH125 KUL PER - 1500+1  or
         Dragonair 193 PEK HKG 1830 -  connecting with QA68 HKG PER - 0720+1

and dont forget there are meny concetion from that list of cities to other cities that only have national flights (ie canberra, hobart)

and i dont think the race will end in nz unless they put a team from there on to tar au (like what fellow channel 7 show my kitchan rules are doing for their 2012 season)

I would suspect there's a Singapore-like connection in the final leg, probably in Thailand or Hong Kong.
Title: Re: TAR Australia 2 TIMELINE/Spoiler Summary Thread *SPOILERS*
Post by: apskip on December 11, 2011, 12:54:43 PM
tarflyonthewall,

If you count my flight connections (not including the nonstops to Sydney or to Melbourne), here is what you find:

tarflyonthewall,

You have stated that you think flights from Beijing to Australia or New Zealand major cities ought to connect in Thailand or Singapore or Hong Kong. Well, if you count you will find this distribution:

Connecting in Hong Kong 2
Connecting in Kuala Lumpur 1
Connecting in Singapore 1

Connecting in Melbourne 2

So, 4 out of 6 connections do meet your criteria and the other 2 are within Australia itself.
Title: Re: TAR Australia 2 TIMELINE/Spoiler Summary Thread *SPOILERS*
Post by: tarflyonthewall on December 11, 2011, 04:39:21 PM
No, what I meant was that we were likely to get a secondary destination in the final leg before returning to Australia itself, like Singapore was in the first season, and that by extension means there could be (1) multiple connections, either between Beijing and this location or between this location and the finish city, and (2) several hours on the ground in addition to the usual layover. Until we know if this happens, we can't use flight schedules to work out where the teams are going, as there are far, FAR too many variables.

I merely predicted that IF there was a secondary destination, it would be either Bangkok or Hong Kong, most probably Bangkok. It has to be somewhere in south-east Asia or Oceania if there is one. The islands in the South Pacific would be too time-consuming to get to at this point in the season, we've got the Philippines earlier in the season, we've done Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong already (although Hong Kong didn't get much of a visit the first time), and they aren't going to waste the race's first visits ever to Laos or Brunei on a twenty-minute segment in the finale. That leaves Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Cambodia. Malaysia's too similar to Singapore, Cambodia is unlikely, and the odds of the race flying from Beijing to Taipei are astronomical. Ergo, Thailand is the most logical alternative... but others are definitely plausible.

tarflyonthewall,

There does not appear to be sufficient reason to have another leg in southeast Asia as ARAus racers has been spotted in Brisbane.
Title: Re: TAR Australia 2 TIMELINE/Spoiler Summary Thread *SPOILERS*
Post by: apskip on December 12, 2011, 09:53:04 AM
Given the time of spotting (1106am) in Brisbane earlier today, it is likely that the F3 teams did NOT take the connection through Melbourne, as that would have arrive BNE at 1830 last night. I expect that one of these double connections (and there are earlier flights PEK ICN that I do not show) will be the route of choice:

Asiana 334 PEK ICN 1532 1832  connecting to KE121 ICN SYD 1915 0713+1  connecting to QF510 SYD BNE 0901 0934

apskip, is this Brisbane issue had been confirmed yet?,

I'm standing by in Melbourne, just in case the final destination city would goes here...
Also I was spotting film production trucks parked in Flagstaff Garden, they were setting up tents and lighting,
But as I observed around the garden, I found nothing not evidence of clue box or route marker...
and the logo on the trucks is unlikely to be related with Channel-7, (Empires Film Service and Australian Movie Lightings) but who knows it's a joint company...

But then, I saw a couple of F/F running across the queens road going towards Queen Victoria Market with identical blue backpakcs, but no cameraman around them :(

I'm still on the radar though...  :cmas25

I was wondering if Flagstaff Gardens was the pit stop. It certainly looks like that kind of location, in which case there wouldn't be a clue box.

Melbourne is negative so far guys, by the time I left the gardens at 10.30AM AEST, there's no signs of TAR filming, about two hours later I passed back by my car (1.00PM AEST), but found the street was blocked by road works signs, all vehicles were detoured to the other street.. I thought this is it!, but again no indications.. :(,

I also continue the checking to other historical places around the town, Royal Botanical Gardens, Shrine of Remembrance, James Cook's House, and Saint Kilda Beach, neither of them showing signs, although I looked at the arrivals board in Melbourne Airport's website, there are more than 20different flights arriving today from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou..

Any news just let me know  :cmas16

Unfortunately no good for Melbourne. A film permit (for 15 people) between 8am and 11pm was taken out for Flagstaff Gardens including an "outdoor stage". There are no other filiming permits in the city taken out today (apart from a couple of TV commericals). Seems like a film production to me?

Actually there is 1 more. West Melbourne Street locations (15 people) between 11am and 10pm.

Post by: tarflyonthewall on December 12, 2011, 11:06:31 PM
Filming permits in Melbourne are organised through local councils, though - a permit from the City of Melbourne is only valid in the area in and surrounding the CBD itself, when the city is FAR larger (in fact, in terms of sheer area, only LA is a larger metropolis). It doesn't seem unlikely, especially given the way the Perth part of last season's finale was handled, that they could be going to areas farther out.

And an "outdoor stage" could be the platform beneath the finishing mat. Granted, there'd be far more than 15 people there, but given the scale and importance of the production and how supportive Victoria Police generally are of TV productions, I can easily see them turning a blind eye to the show actually having 23 cast members plus the crew.

Or it's TAR20. :P

Legazpi, Philippines
New Delhi, India
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Istanbul, Turkey
Paris, France
Havana, Cuba
Vancouver, Canada
Banff, Canada
Beijing, China

Wait, I'm confused. Don't we already have twelve legs? That don't match up with that timeline? I could have sworn we also had a charter bus spoiler in Turkey, which would make the route something like:

Leg 1: Manila
Leg 2: Legazpi
Leg 3: Delhi
Leg 4: Dubai
Leg 5: Istanbul
Leg 6: Elsewhere in Turkey (Gallipoli?)
Leg 7: Paris

I don't remember anything regarding a charter bus in Turkey, if you can find where you saw it I'd love to see it. The only charter buses we have spoiled that I can remember are the ones from Vancouver to Banff in Canada.

Personally, I don't even think there's enough time for two legs in Turkey. Teams were racing in Dubai on 27th Nov and in Paris in the early hours of Dec 1st. The time frame is too short for two legs in Turkey IMO. I think we have two legs in India or somewhere near there just like the timeline says :tup:

We have three full days. Three days could easily be a one-day leg on the 28th in Istanbul, followed by a 24-hour Pit Stop and an overnight bus ride from Istanbul to Gallipoli on the 29th before a day leg on the 30th.

I agree with both of you guys, on the one hand there is a large enough gap to have 2 legs in India comfortably, but at the same time I wouldn't think they'd pass the opportunity to visit Gallipoli if they do go to Turkey, even if ANZAC day has passed (especially for emotional appeal).
However I think the NEL's are a bit early this season and it looks like we have a NEL at the end of the first episode or a TBC leg in Philippines. Once in India someone spotted the supposed last team not really getting 'eliminated' (I think it was Adam & Dane) so it makes me think that it was a NEL but either them of Sue & Teresa get eliminated in the following Indian leg if there is one.

Or perhaps they will pull a shocker ala TAR US season 19 and have a NEL followed by a double elimination if there is a second Indian leg where both of those above teams are eliminated? I'm just thinking what producers may do to up the ante this season.

If we could have the link to the charter bus spoiler that would help sort this out.

Could a charter bus in Istanbul to Gallipoli potentially be squished all into 1 leg? The cities are only a few hundred kilometres away from each other I think.

Quite right. Gallipoli is 310km (195 miles).

Great job on the timeline :) but just wondering, what would an 'Iconic destination never before visited in race history' be from this timeline? the amazing race australia 2s wiki says that there is going to be an iconic destination never visited in race history... Gallipolli? :umn:  :duno: :duno:

Because of the confirmation of the UK a while back, would that fit in after Turkey or would they go France first?
