Season chronology |
The Amazing Race Australia 6 is the sixth season of the Australian reality television game show The Amazing Race Australia, an Australian spin-off of the American series The Amazing Race, and the third instalment of Network 10's iteration of the show. The show is featuring twenty teams of two with a pre-existing relationship in a race around the world to win the grand prize of A$250,000 and two new cars (an Isuzu D-MAX and an Isuzu MU-X).[1]
Beau Ryan returned as the regular host with presenter Scott Tweedie guest hosting for Episodes 8-11 after Ryan caught COVID-19 during filming.
The sixth edition of the show premiered on 29 August 2022.[2]
Production
Development and filming
On 20 October 2021, Network 10 announced at upfronts that a new season was set to air in the second half of 2022.[3][4][5]
Unlike the previous season which filmed solely in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions, Beverley McGarvey, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Paramount Global Australia and New Zealand, stated that she intended for the show to resume travelling internationally again after the American version resumed international travel for Series 33 in September 2021.[6] On 2 February 2022, Daniel Monaghan, 10's Head of Programming, reaffirmed that the show would still be filming internationally as the Omicron surge began to subside.[7]
Filming for the season began in March 2022. This season introduced a new twist involving two groups of ten teams starting The Amazing Race Australia separately and oblivious to the existence of the other, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne, and racing separately before converging in the next leg.[1] Though described as a "world-first" and by Beau Ryan as "an Amazing Race franchise first,"[8] this split Starting Line twist previously appeared on the fourth and fifth seasons of HaMerotz LaMillion, the Israeli version of The Amazing Race, in 2014 and 2016 respectively. Unlike the Israeli version, the split Starting Lines were separated into two legs. On 5 March 2022, Beau Ryan was spotted in Chefchaouen, Morocco.[9] On 20 March, TV Blackbox reported that a few crew members had tested positive for COVID-19 requiring some of the crew including Beau Ryan to self-isolate in hotels while the rest of the crew continued filming. From Legs 8 to 11, Scott Tweedie was brought in to replace Ryan as host while he was in isolation.[10] According to TV Tonight, Tweedie was contacted prior to the season to potentially step in as host as part of the production's COVID-safe contingency plan. This season is the third time a show has changed hosts partway through filming after the first season of the Chinese edition and the sixth season of the Vietnamese edition.[11] The show then travelled to İzmir, Türkiye.[12] Filming wrapped in April 2022.[13]
This season also travelled to Greece, Mexico and Colombia. Belize was also visited for the first time on any edition of The Amazing Race.[14][15][16][17] This season was the second time The Amazing Race Australia visited all six inhabited continents after The Amazing Race: Australia v New Zealand as well as the fourth time overall after The Amazing Race US 5 and The Amazing Race US 11.[18]
Notable Pit Stop greeters for this season included Moroccan singer Dalal Barnoussi in Leg 3, Mister Supranational Greece 2021 Spyros Nikolaidis in Leg 4, Greek Winter Olympian Maria Ntanou in Leg 6, Akinrobotics' humanoid robot ADA in Leg 7 and Belize City mayor Bernard Wagner in Leg 13.
The Speed Bump which was not in the previous season, was brought back into this season for the teams that returned after self-isolating due to COVID-19.
Casting
Casting for the season began in early November 2021. Contestants were required to be fully vaccinated with filming expected to occur from February 2022 over four to seven weeks.[19]
Marketing
Isuzu, UBank, Kathmandu and Merrell served as sponsors for this season.[20]
Cast
The cast was revealed on 22 August 2022. With 20 teams, this is the largest number of teams on any season of Amazing Race worldwide and tied with The Amazing Race: Family Edition for the most contestants at 40.

This leg's Detour was a choice between Heat or Beat. Once teams arrived at a task, they could not switch. In Heat, teams had to eat 25 hot meat pies to receive their next clue. Teams had to put the pot's lid back on after grabbing a pie; otherwise they had to start over. In Beat, teams had to learn to play "Waltzing Matilda" on the steelpan then play in unison with the Pantempters Steel Orchestra to receive their next clue from the bandleader.
- Additional tasks
- After landing in Belize, teams had to use a provided TomTom to direct a driver to Belize Exotic Adventures, where they had to search for a bag of firewood and a bag of cashew nuts. Then, teams had to roast and shell the nuts to receive their next clue.
- At Belize Zoo, teams had to provide a tapir with its breakfast then drain, clean and refill the tapir's waste pool to receive their next clue from a zookeeper. As tapirs can become aggressive, teams could only perform this task while they were eating.
- ^ Angel was bumped from the flight to Belize and diverted to Cancún, where she travelled by private car across the Belize–Mexico border and met up with Frankie in the middle of the leg.

As a result of re-entering The Amazing Race Australia, Fliss & Tottie, Jodie & Claire, Kelly & Georgia and Tiffany & Cynthia had to complete a Speed Bump, where they had to clean 10 items of school furniture before they could continue racing.
This leg's Detour was a choice between Score or Solve. In Score, teams had to play pok-a-tok and score a goal by getting a ball through a ring without using their hands to receive their next clue. Teams had to go to the back of the queue if they missed after six attempts. In Solve, teams had to solve a puzzle by spinning 36 movable pieces, each of which had Maya numerals, so that each number appeared only once in any direction to receive their next clue. The blocks with red marks were already in the correct position.
- Additional tasks
- At Santa Cruz School, teams had to weed a plotted section of a greenhouse, plant ginger, lemongrass and chili so that they matched an example plot and repair a section of roof and siding to receive their next clue from the school principal.
- At Hawkesworth Bridge, teams had to memorise the 18 months on a Maya calendar. Then, teams had to paddle a canoe down the Macal River, much like during La Ruta Maya, find 18 engraved stones and place them in chronological order on a blank calendar to receive their next clue.
