The Amazing Race swept through Sydney last week, shooting episodes of its 14th season.
One reader tells TV Tonight, “I was in Sydney this weekend and they were filming new Amazing Race. They were at the Opera House. Two teams came up running with camera crews -I was so excited! I think they were after Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. I wanted to follow, them I love the show!”
According to news.com.au it was also in Manly: ….for an hour or so there was a sudden stampede of earnest, sweaty, tired types with backpacks clambering on the sand.
It’s not the first time TAR has visited Sydney, previously visiting the Harbour Bridge and Harry’s Cafe de Wheels. It’s also raced through Brissy, Perth, Adelaide, Cairn, Coober Pedy and Darwin.
Of the 14th season, Keoghan has said, “It’s incredible. It’s amazing, quite frankly. We’ll be heading out for the 14th time to go around the world. We keep having this opportunity and for me, it’s the best job I’ve ever had and I love it. And thankfully the viewers love it and it’s always nice to be employed and when you get employed. You get to go around the world and shoot great adventures with people and with an audience, there’s nothing more exciting than that.”

As someone from Victoria I couldn’t give a rats that they haven’t come here. I’m just glad that they have come to our beautiful country.
The whole rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne is stupid.
Geez, so they’ve been to Sydney twice, so what?
Who knows, Melbourne might be on the map in future seasons.
It’s not that Sydney is less interesting than Melbourne (though there’s a good argument for that), it’s that they’ve already been to Sydney. It’s not often that TAR visits the same city more than once, but Sydney’s getting a second go.
@Mike Beckham,
‘Raced through’ as in The Amazing Race (surely)
@ Ali
surely you can come up with something better than a tired cliche.
Sydney Kicks ass over Melbourne, Sydney is more interesting then coffee shops and a casino.
Obviously TAR rates all Brissy, Perth, Adelaide, Cairn, Coober Pedy and Darwin over Melbourne Ha!
Unless they do things differently in Perth these days, taxis are definitely public transport.
MRB as far as I’m aware Taxis are not public transport. The government tried issuing more licenses and then taxi drivers complained and threatened to strike because their would be more competition.
Carta: TAR had been to Gold Coast (sort of). When the teams were competing in Brisbane, one of the detour tasks (I think it was surfing) was done at a Gold Coast beach.
They actually bother travelling all the way here and all people can do is complain about the fact that they didn’t go to Melbourne?! Good grief!!!
I live on the Gold Coast (completely by choice!) but I’m not complaining that they’ve never been here – I’m just glad they’ve been to Australia at all!
Melbourne kicks ass over Sydney – we’re more interesting than a bridge.
All I can say is come to Melbourne!!!!!
They go to Sydney twice, while the closest they have come to Melbourne is catching a connecting flight at Melbourne Airport.
There is so much they can base the race upon in Melbourne. The series will get axed before it even reaches Melbourne I reckon 🙁 .
Melbourne sucks anways!! nothing interesting there at all!!Haha
Are all this eyewitnesses for the US version or the Israeli version. Apparently there is an Israeli Race currently being filmed with people on other sites reporting that they’ve been in Australia around the time of these reports, so I’m getting the feeling that what has been reported is not for the US version meaning Australians won’t be seeing Sydney on their screens next year
I once did a phone interview with Phil while he was in Melbourne. Ironically he was dashing to Tullamarine!
I can also remember the last time TAR was in Sydney, the pitstop was the rooftop of the Museum of Contemporary Art between The Rocks and Circular Quay.
I wish the series would come to Melbourne though.
lol don’t get shirty there Melbourne, who’s to say they didn’t also visit somewhere in Regional Victoria or Melbourne and no one there was cluey enough to blog about it.
ducko,
“raced through”. They didn’t spend time there.
Ducko –
That was a good one! ha ha ha! Bloody victorians!
They actually have been to Melbourne, kind of. On the last Australian visit, there was a brief sequence at Melbourne Airport 🙂
Th Perth one was funny, it showed how bad the public transport system is here
@ Mike Beckham.
So you regard Brisbane,Perth and Adelaide as the Outback? You’re obviosly from Melbourne.
Great show, but why the heck haven’t they come to Melbourne? They’ve been to almost every other state, but not Victoria or Tasmania, both of which have plenty to offer to TAR. Disappointing that Sydney gets the international exposure…again.
That is great news. Do CBS still do two seasons a year?
It was actually The Amazing Race Israel.
Melbourne production company ActiveTV produce The Amazing Race Asia and The Amazing Race Israel.
Great show. Great host in Keoghan. Star though is person/s who puts together all the tasks – must take some doing to get all that logistics etc
Wonder how far in advance they plan and who tests things.
Apparently America only thinks of Australia for Sydney, the Reef and The Outback.
Shame they visited the same place twice.
