The Amazing race Australia

• The Amazing Race Australia is an Australian
  reality game show based on the American TV
  series, The Amazing Race.
• On 19 July 2010, Seven Network purchased the
  format rights to produce the Australian
  series.The first two series of the show was
  produced by activeTV in association with ABC
  Studios. The third series was produced in-house
  by the Seven Network.

4
Teams

• Each team is composed of two individuals who have
  some type of relationship to each other. A total
  of 64 participants have joined The Amazing Race
  Australia.

Route Markers

• Route Markers are yellow and red flags that mark
  the places where teams must go. Most Route
  Markers are attached to the boxes that contain
  clue envelopes, but some may mark the place where
  the teams must go in order to complete tasks, or
  may be used to line a course that the teams must
  follow. Route markers were, however, coloured
  yellow and green in the second leg of series 1 to
  avoid confusion with the flag of South Vietnam.

Clues

• When teams start a leg, arrive at Route Markers,
  or complete certain tasks, they normally receive
  a letter-sized tear-away envelope that contains
  their next clue inside a vertical-fold folder.
• The clues themselves are typically printed on a
  vertical strip of paper, although additional
  information is often provided inside the clue
  folder. After retrieving the clue, teams open the
  envelope and read aloud the instructions given on
  the clue sheet and then follow those instructions

7
Rules

• For the first season, both team members are to
  perform a maximum of 6 Roadblocks. It is assumed
  that a similar rule was used for season 2 but
  there were several roadblocks that went unaired.
• Unless otherwise stated, such as during
  Roadblocks, team members must stay within 6
  meters of each other and stay close to their
  assigned camera and sound crew.

8
Penalties 

• If a team fails to complete a Roadblock, Detour,
  Speed Bump, or Route Info task, they receive a
  4-hour penalty.
• If a team hitchhikes or travels in privately
  owned vehicles, they receive a 20-minute penalty.
  
• If a team sells their own items in order to raise
  money, they receive a 30-minute penalty (which is
  a two-hour penalty in the US version).

Series Summary

• The first series premiered in May 2011 and ended
  in August 2011. The second series premiered in
  May 2012 and ended in August 2012. The casting
  for a third series began in August 2012, however
  it was notably absent when the network revealed
  its 2013 schedule in October. A 2013 series of
  the show was replaced by an unsuccessful revival
  of The Mole. A new season was launched in August
  2014, involving teams from New Zealand and titled
