The teams are back on The Ghan as they make their way to Adelaide. Upon arrival, teams will make their way to Adelaide Oval.
Once teams arrive in Coober Pedy, Beau has a big announcement for them. There’s another Stowaway team joining the Race: bodybuilders Stan & Wayne. They will have to earn their spot in the Race by departing in last.
Teams fly from Darwin to Alice Springs for this 9th Leg of the Race. For their Sabotage, Jaskirat & Anurag will have to carry a large stuffed kangaroo at all times. Dwes & Katherine will get a personal driver in Alice Springs as their Salvage Advantage.
The Racers are given a traditional welcome by TARAu4’s Jasmin & Jerome to start the 8th Leg. Afterwards, they will depart in the order they arrived and encounter the Detour: Stomp or Chomp. In Stomp, teams will learn a traditional Chinese lion dance. In Chomp, teams will eat an entire barramundi fish using only chopsticks.
The teams finally leave Queensland and head to the Northern Territory. But at Darwin Airport, Beau has a surprise for the teams. He gathers them together to shock them with a Stowaway Team, footy mates MJ & Chelsea.
For this 6th Leg, teams head to The Great Barrier Reef by way of Townsville and Cairns. In Cairns, teams will take one of two ferries to Fitzroy Island. Jordan & Violeta learn their Sabotage is for them to wear snorkeling gear for the entire Leg. Jobelle & Rani’s Salvage is an island guide that will accompany them and can help them anytime during the Leg.
Teams are on Magnetic Island and will disembark the ferry in the same order they arrived at the Pit Stop. But it doesn’t matter since teams will choose one of a number of different types of vehicles to drive themselves until they find Beau at Horseshoe Bay where they will face an endurance Road Block: Who likes hanging out?
Teams will start the 4th Leg in Townsville after magically flying there from Longreach during the Pit Stop and will depart in the order they finished the last Leg. Jaskirat & Anurag, who skipped the last Leg, need to pull out a number to determine their departing position on this Leg and they pull #10. The Super Sikhs are annoyed that they immediately went from first to 10th.
The third Leg of the Race begins as teams learn they will be traveling to Winton in the Outback. Before heading to the airport, Holly & Dolor find out their Salvage advantage is being able to jump the queue at any challenge. Jude & Shannon’s Sabotage, however, is for one of them to not speak at all during this Leg. They decide Shannon will remain silent.
The second Leg begins for the remaining 12 teams as they learn they must fly from Cairns to Gold Coast, Queensland. Upon arrival in the Gold Coast, teams must make their way to North Kirra Surf Life Saving Club and find a lifeguard to receive next clue.
