A fast-paced contest with absolutely zero let-ups

This will be the journey of a lifetime that 11 teams of 2 will embark on, in The Amazing Race Australia. They will traverse the globe, with no idea of what challenges they will be facing. But they do know that the race will be fast-paced and that there should be absolutely zero let-ups.

They must work together as a team and challenge their personal relationships, but at the same time, they will experience life-changing occurrences. As well, they will confront their worst fears, improve their self confidence, experience new cultures, and make friends for life.

Countries that the teams will visit along the way will include Africa, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Czech Republic and Vietnam – as well as a trip to Singapore, in the final episode.

Arduous mental and physical challenges await the teams

Types of challenges will range from arduous mental and physical obstacles – but for other teams, locating their next challenge will prove to be more difficult than the actual challenge itself. Teams will face dizzying heights, heavy loads, road blocks, tasting weird foods, language barriers, money concerns and so on.
