Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which Australian city did teams start "The Amazing Race: Australia"?

Answer: Melbourne

In the first leg of "The Amazing Race: Australia", eleven teams touched down in the Melbourne Cricket Ground, exited their individual helicopters, and met with Grant Bowler at the race's starting line. He informed the racers that they would be heading on a trip around the world for $250,000 and that many of them would be eliminated on the way.

As soon as Grant gave the word, the teams were already on their way, racing to eleven clue boxes on the pitch and ripping open their first clue--a Road Block.
2. In Australia in Leg 1, teams completed their first Road Block. What did the selected team member need to do?

Answer: Abseil

Opening their first clues, teams needed to select one member to complete the first Road Block task of the race. This task required that the particular member head to one of the many light towers surrounding the Melbourne Cricket Stadium, climb to the top, and abseil down to the bottom.

The members who completed this task included Mos, Ryot, Richard, Mel, Tyler, Dave, Tracy, Renae, Jeff, Matt, and Chris. After this, teams needed to drive themselves to the airport and get themselves on a flight.
3. To which country did teams fly in Leg 1 of the race?

Answer: Indonesia

After the Road Block, teams were told to fly to Denpasar, an island in Indonesia, then to take a taxi to Lombok where they could sign up for one of three charter boats to their next destination, each leaving a half hour apart and beginning at 6:00am. In the morning, teams arrived at a fishing village and needed to search the area for their next clue (which was found in the netting of some shored boats.
Next, teams made their way by taxi to Pura Lingsar Temple where they needed to run through a gauntlet in which rice powder was thrown at them. This resulted in another clue.
4. In the Leg 1 Detour task, more teams completed which option?

Answer: 'Carry'

Reading their Detour clues, teams needed to take a taxi to Mandalika Market and choose either 'Carry' or 'Cash'. In 'Carry', teams needed to find a market stall and, balancing a basket of vegetables on their head, reach another stall elsewhere in the market. Sam and Renae, Matt and Tom, Dave and Kelly, Jeff and Luke, Chris and Anastasia, and Mel and Alana completed this task.

In 'Cash', teams needed to use a marked Bakso stall to make a local dish and sell fifteen for a total of 5,000 Rupiah each. Richard and Joey, Nathan and Tyler, Mo and Mos, Anne-Marie and Tracy, and Ryot and Liberty finished 'Cash'. Following the Detour, teams were told to head to Malimbu Beach by taxi then hop into a boat and travel to Gili Trawangan.
5. Which team arrived at the Pit Stop in Leg 1 in first place, winning the Express Pass?

Answer: Sam and Renae

Once at Gili Trawangan, teams needed to head into the water to search for a briefcase containing a large amount of money. Then, bringing it to shore, teams needed to count out the amount inside and give their correct total to a judge to receive their next clue. This clue told teams to head to the first Pit Stop, Sunset Point, via a cidomo.

The first team to arrive was Sam and Renae who breeze through the Detour and stayed ahead long enough to win $10,000 and the Express Pass. In the end it was Mo and Mos who arrived in last place. Luckily, this was a non-elimination round and they were spared.

They would be marked for elimination in the next leg and if they did not arrive in first place, they would receive a thirty-minute time penalty.
6. Departing from their first Pit Stop, teams were told to fly to what Asian country?

Answer: Vietnam

At the start of Leg 2, teams were told to take a bus back to Denpasar and make their way to the airport to fly to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Many of the teams took completely different flights, arriving all throughout the day in Vietnam's largest city. Once they arrived, they needed to find the Saigon Opera House and search the surrounding streets and courtyards for different women in traditional dresses carrying fans. Racers needed to search through these hundreds of women for one holding a fan with their team name inside.

When they handed this fan off to a woman outside the opera house, they got their next clue.
7. In Leg 2, teams needed to work on an old army vehicle. They needed to change the tires and do which of these tasks?

Answer: Change the oil

After finding their correct fans, teams needed to head back to the airport to hop onto a domestic flight to the city of Hue, Vietnam. The first flight out, which would have taken several teams early, was canceled, so all eleven teams took the same flight, arriving late at night. Upon their arrival, teams located the next clue at the Tran Than Mai Garage (at 8:00) and they were told to select an ex-army vehicle, change the tires correctly, and replace the oil (by removing the existing oil and refilling the tank). Once teams did this to the mechanic's approval, the vehicle driver would tag along.
8. In the Detour task in Leg 2, teams choosing the 'Carabao' task had to lead what creature around a mud pit?

Answer: Buffalo

After fixing their vehicles, teams needed to choose their Detour option: 'Carry Fowl' or 'Carabao'. In 'Carry Fowl', teams needed to go to the Bang Chicken Farm and pack twenty chickens into shoulder devices before carrying them to the local market to claim their next clue.

This was completed by nine teams: Tyler and Nathan, Dave and Kelly, Matt and Tom, Mo and Mos, Sam and Renae, Richard and Joey, Ryot and Liberty, Mel and Alana, and Anne-Marie and Tracy (though many of them attempted 'Carabao').

In 'Carabao', teams needed to guide a buffalo known as a carabao through a muddy field in order to plow around and locate a race flag under the mud. Jeff and Luke and Chris and Anastasia completed this needle in a haystack task before continuing on.
9. In Leg 2, team members needed to collect and properly order how many ancient coins during the Road Block task?

Answer: Seven

After the Detour, teams took their army vehicles to Khai Dinh Tomb in Hue for the Road Block task which asked teams 'who was in line for a king's ransom'. For this task, the selected members needed to go to the nearby Minh Mang Tomb (by army vehicle) while their partners waited behind, and locate seven large coins representing different emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty. Once they returned they were told that they would need to put them in order of their respective reigns.

This forced many team members to go back and check their information. Nathan, Tom, Anastasia, Sam, Joey, Kelly, Mo, Luke, Ryot, Mel, and Anne-Marie completed this task.
10. Which team was eliminated from the race in Leg 2?

Answer: Ryot and Liberty

After the Road Block, teams were told to take their army vehicles to the second Pit Stop of the race, The Citadel in the Purple Forbidden City. Here, Tyler and Nathan arrived in first place winning tickets to the AFL Grand Final and a tour of the National Sports Museum (which, all in all, valued at over $5,000).

Despite their being marked for elimination, Mo and Mos took their thirty minute penalty after arriving in fourth, and dropped to seventh place. In the end it was Ryot and Liberty, who fell behind after the Detour and Road Block, who arrived in eleventh place and became the first team eliminated from the race.
