Yeah, not that it matters about the tag numbers, but MAN!, Slowhatch how did you do that!!   :t-up:

That's what matters, because with that ability to clear up blurry shots we will be able to make sense out of lots of background info.  And wrist watches too.

Unfortunately, it's a one-trick pony. The Post offered the option of downloading the 08 Nov issue as a pdf file, which clocked in at 53+ mb (and even then, there are limits; see the photog's wristwatch below). Too bad most other sources don't have the same depth of detail.

Staunen.  I did not even see the watch there.

But what I meant was for capture from the show and its previews.

'Amazing Race' scrambles across Utah tonight
Article Last Updated: 11/22/2005

"There will be some prominent landmarks featured," promised the typically secretive Keoghan by cell phone from the set of the show's ninth season, now shooting "somewhere near the Middle East."

This article was featured in Inside Cover of The West Australian on Thursday, 24 November 2005. The West Australian is a mainstream newspaper in Perth, Australia. I don't know if this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the whole thing does sound plausible.

INSIDE COVER with Melissa Kent
ROTTO, FREO IN AMAZING RACE

Our very own Rottnest and Fremantle starred in the American television series The Amazing Race yesterday with camera crews and contestants dashing around like, well, Americans on a TV show.

Whispers reached IC that some non-schoolie visitors landed on the isle early yesterday and businesses were roped in to smooth the way for the crew and competitors.

Clearly the Rottnest Island Authority was ordered not to prattle to pesky media about the exciting event and issued a "no comment" to IC - a surefire confirmation of the rumour.

The Seven Network, which screens the popular series, was left out of the loop and had no idea WA was a destination for the show, which follows teams as they chase clues in a race around the world.

Luckily for us, a team of backpack toting Americans running around, shouting at each other and being chased by cameras on a small island is a little hard to hide.

Word has it the contestants began arriving at 3am with instructions to go to the top of the main lighthouse for their next clue.

There was a flurry of activity at the bike hire shop - where employees had also been silenced - and lots of running around Rotto streets, said onlookers.

The Rottnest Tearooms were charged with feeding the hungry visitors lunch, serving up biscuits, drinks and meat and salad rolls.

"It was pretty exciting", a tearoom spy said. "One of them ran around the back and asked our head chef where Fremantle Prison was."

Being shrewd, IC figured this must be the nest destination
and called the prison for the lowdown. It too had been gagged but Monday's public notices seem to confirm the story - a small item declared the prison would be closed on Wednesday for filming.

 :thankyou: Nice find. Maybe they're using a westbound route for a change. Rottnest is just offshore from Perth; here is a map and here are some pictures of the island and the local "quokkas," which look like giant furry rats. :cheeky:. Fremantle and the prison are southern suburbs. The west australian, like the denver post, uses an electronic edition, so it may be difficult pulling up the original article.

My partner is in Darwin this week on business, and she reports that the Amazing Race has been shooting there on Friday 25/11. (So I was not surprised to see Western Australia as a shooting location on Wednesday/Thursday!).

The local newspaper, the NT News, confirmed this (in their usual unsubtle style!) on their front page this morning (see ntnews.news.com.au/common...,00.html).

"The Amazing Race teams were rushed through Darwin airport to SkyCity hotel casino on Thursday night and yesterday morning they are believed to have filmed scenes at Darwin's Crocodylus Park before being whisked to a secret location."

There is a scheduled Qantas flight from Perth that arrives in Darwin at 7:10pm Thursday, so this would fit with the timing noted in the report. Crocodylus Park would be an interesting location, having a wide variety of native and imported animals and a particularly large range of crocodiles (and without Steve Irwin!).

The secret location is an interesting one, but I'd be surprised if they went too far out of Darwin given the relative position within the race. The next question of course, is when did/do they leave Darwin?

Given that Cairns has previously featured in the Australian leg of the race, my bet is on the next leg moving north into Asia. Looking at the flights out of Darwin International Airport (based on their October schedule), other than a few flights to Indonesia and East Timor, there was a Qantas flight to Singapore out on Friday afternoon. This would be the choice for international connections, unless heading out via another Australian port (like Sydney or Brisbane). Incidentally, these would be the ports of choice if heading across the Pacific.

 :holidayC: More good stuff, thanks Puddin. Here's the hotel and here's the park. Anything is an improvement on the "feed Sultan" road trip to Cairns we saw in TAR4.

Freo Prison, they probably did this underground tunnel maze, it was built by the prisoners there a hundred years ago and its like a network of creepy underground streams and caves, should be fun to watch

It makes sense; the Tunnels tour or the Torchlight tour would be a natural TAR kind of thing. As far as getting there, the Rottnest Express can take teams from Perth to Rottnest and also return them from the island to Fremantle.

I can back up rochford's spoiler about TAR9 being in Darwin.

I just read the following on an Aussie Footy board that I post on:


Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mornings papers up here in Darwin said that the latest series of TAR was being filmed here. Contestants arrived Thurs night and rushed through the airport then yesterday they filmed at the Crocodile Park (all they do there is feed the snapping handbags and have animals on display so I guess there is a challenge to feed them (usually a chicken on a string off a pole). After this the paper said the contestants were then rushed off to another secret location. If they arrived late Thur night then they have either flown in from somewhere in asia or Melb or Syd (only international flights come in from Brunei, Indonesia or Singapore).

TAR9 Still in Australia?




DID we see contestants from The Amazing Race in Adelaide?

Onlookers at Adelaide Airport on Sunday wondered what all the fuss was about when a desperate-looking couple attempted to book a capacity Singapore Airlines flight.

They also happened to be young, good-looking Americans carrying only backpacks, with a TV crew filming their every move.

They had boarding passes for a flight to Sydney, and after being told the Singapore Airlines flight was full, they ran back to the domestic terminal (bet they're wishing the new terminal was in operation).

Channel 7 declined to comment on whether the couple was part of the travel-gameshow.
