Previously on The Amazing Race Australia...

I'm so proud of you!

This is amazing!

..14 teams began the adventure of a lifetime.

I've never felt so amazing in my life.

Go! Go! Go!

But for two teams...

Dwes, Katherine, your time on the race is now over.

I'm just so blessed to be a part of it.

..the adventure was short-lived.

Made the decision to step out of The Amazing Race Australia.

Then, on the Gold Coast...

- There's a taxi! - ..a rivalry erupted...

Whoo! ..between two teams.

Hey, this is our one.

We may have made enemies of Holly and Dolor.

And as the Super Sikhs slid in for their second win...

You are first to arrive.

..a twist was revealed...

You'll issue a Salvage or a Sabotage.

..pitting new rivals against each other.

I'm sorry.

I was annoyed. If I'm honest.

Tonight, the Sikhs soak up their victory...

This is just serene.

..with a day off.

While the others blaze through the outback.

Whoo!

The Salvage will give one team...

Stop! Stop! Stop!

..the ultimate power.

We're gonna teach them a lesson.

And the Mums face a Sabotage.

That one of us could not speak for the whole leg.

How hard can it be?

OK. I don't know what you're saying so...

But could an epic blunder...

Oh, sh...

Someone's forgotten their bags.

..spell the end for one team?

Ooh.

Your time on the race is over.

This is Queensland's world-famous Gold Coast,

home to nearly 60 kilometres of pristine coastline.

It's from here that our 12 remaining teams

are setting off on the third leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

"Make your way to Winton in the heart...

"..of Queensland's outback."

Oh, my God.

Let's go. Righto. Let's go.

So we're heading into the outback.

We thought, "This is... We're all over this.

"This is great." Right up our alley.

Departing in the order that they arrived at the pit stop in the last leg,

teams are heading to Winton.

Out here, the heat is blistering and it's as dry as a dead dingo.

You can walk for a week without seeing a soul.

But there's plenty of wildlife to keep you company.

And it's from here the teams will get their next clue.

Cab. Cab. Cab.

Hey-hey. Yes, sir!

While the rest of the teams head to the airport,

it's time for the bottom two teams to find out what their Salvage advantage

and Sabotage sting will be.

Congratulations.

We Salvage you guys. Thanks, guys.

Holly and Dolor were given a Salvage, which is a huge leg-up in this race.

"Salvage team, you may jump the queue at any challenge."

Perfect. Let's go.

We can jump the queue every single time.

In The Amazing Race Australia,

there are lots of challenges

where you get stuck behind other contestants, waiting in queues.

With the Salvage, we can jump straight to the front.

Me first.

Girls, you came last. I'm sorry.

While Jude and Shannon were dealt a crushing Sabotage.

Sabotage. "One of you may not speak for the entire leg."

Oh! Oh, my God.

We've got the Sabotage

which means one of us can't speak for the whole day.

It's gonna be really hard to understand each other.

It has to be me because you cannot NOT speak.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go! Whoo!

Where are these taxis?

Up here.

Let's go.

Hey, we've got this.

To get to Winton, teams have first flown to Longreach

where, after they've received a traditional welcome to country...

..I've called them together for a massive announcement.

Welcome to Longreach.

Now, as you all know, we lost Alex and Jack in the last leg of the race

due to unforeseen circumstances.

So what I've decided to do

is to give a team

a second chance.

What?

Give a big Longreach welcome...

..to Dwes and Katherine.

Being asked to join the race again is just so amazing.

What a surprise.

We're just so thankful for that opportunity to come back in

because, like, oh, my God, it was time to redeem ourself

but time to show, like, we can be as competitive as other teams.

We've been given this opportunity of a second chance,

and nothing's gonna stop us.

How do you guys feel right now?

Excited and privileged to be here with all of you guys.

Happy to see them.

We are so happy to see them. They're such a great team.

Turns out the Deadly Duo team was back.

- So excited to see them. - Yeah.

It was just too early on in the game for them to leave.

Now we will continue racing.

Race safe, race hard.

Go!

Up here. Let's get up here.

Get going.

Alright. Let's go.

It's manual but I don't care.

Going forward - cool, calm and collected.

Stay positive. Yep.

Oh, positive always. Yep.

I can't believe we are here and we're starting in first place.

We could actually win this leg.

Our kids are gonna be stoked.

As a mum and dad, nice to show the kids that you can fight

and keep that positive spirit.

We're a very competitive family and it's good.

The kids are competitive and that's how I want them to live life,

with drive and determination.

So, yeah, doing this for them would be awesome.

I just wanna make them proud.

Come on!

Let's go. Let's go.

We're gonna have to hustle.

Go, go, go.

Jump in.

Let's go.

Go, go, go. Let's go.

Boot should be opening.

Whoo! We're on our way, Kath! Finally.

#AustralianOutback.

Being in the great outback is cool but also scary.

I've never been this far inland in Australia, ever.

Do you reckon there'd be snakes out here?

There's a lot of flies outside.

Bugs. I'll get bitten.

Fly in the back. Got rid of it now.

The teams are well on their way to Winton

where they'll go head-to-head

in the most Aussie race ever -

the world-famous Dunny Derby.

This challenge requires teams to pick a local of their choice -

I chose Robyn, that's my mum's name -

and pull a mobile dunny around a racetrack.

But there's a messy twist.

One team member must balance a bedpan on their head, full of dunny water,

and pour it in the bucket up to the red line.

This could take a few circuits.

That stinks.

I don't know what the liquid's gonna be. I just hope it's not poo.

You think we're gonna be running around

with helmets of poo or pee on our head?

Well, it's a dunny.

It says you can't use your hands.

What's that?

One has to wear the helmet and the other's gonna draw the water.

Does this technically count as a hand

'cause I technically only have one.

Winton.

Come at us, baby.

Go, go, go.

Right, let's go.

Run, run, run. Come on.

Come on, come on. Come on. OK, let's go.

Who's the best dunny driver?

We needed a volunteer so we picked the lightest guy that we could.

Come on, buddy. Let's go.

So, we basically have to race an Aussie dunny around, like, a track.

Alright. Yep. OK, you ready?

We have to get, like, a bedpan on the head.

Your head's not straight. Is that better?

That is straight. OK.

Then fill it up with toilet water. Blue toilet water!

Shit.

And then you've gotta, like, walk. Balance it.

Balancing so that you don't spill it.

It's all good. Keep it going, you're doing so well.

Awesome work. Keep it up.

Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

And then we need to keep filling it up until we get to the red line.

This is gonna take us a few trips.

Got it. Got it. Yep.

There they are, there.

Let's go.

Let's do this.

You ready?

You're lucky you're with the 3-time world-champion dunny-puller here.

Are we?

Legend!

Being in the country definitely has an advantage. Yeah, 100%.

It was a lot more in our comfort zone.

When do you want me to start cracking the whip?

Not just yet.

Crack it on the left-hand side, he'll get real excited.

OK, let's go.

Come on.

Oh, wait, they have started.

We'd already had a massive disadvantage

going into this challenge, being sabotaged today.

Because Shannon couldn't speak.

Down here. It's that one. Come on, we'd better get in the game.

We knew we had to try and give this challenge everything

to stay in the race.

And we were last there.

Excuse me, do we have a dunny sitter here?

We call out for our dunny sitter.

And there comes Riley.

Riley, may I suggest you take a seat.

And also because we were late, we didn't have a choice.

Not quite exactly who we had in mind.

Beast of a man.

Yes. Yes! He was great.

He was... Full-figured.

Full-figured!

Also, sorry, Riley, Shannon's not allowed to speak today.

That's her punishment.

Righto, Riley, I'd say to buckle in 'cause we're gonna be here a while.

Let's go.

Oh.

Slow down. Don't panic.

Any time I looked away, that's when it spilt

so we were just full-on concentration.

We had to do four laps.

OK. Careful. Careful.

Yep. Go, go, go, go.

Come back towards me. Go, go, go!

Thank you!

Go.

"Drive to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum

"and assemble a dinosaur skeleton for your next clue."

Winton is the home

to Australia's most significant archaeological site.

And it's here the palaeontologists found three unique dinosaurs,

fondly named Clancy, Matilda and Banjo.

In this challenge, each team needs to dig up 33 wooden dinosaur bones

and accurately piece them together into a full dinosaur skeleton.

But if they break any bones,

they'll cop a hefty time penalty at the pit stop.

Once they've assembled the dinosaur together,

to the satisfaction of the palaeontologist...

..they'll receive their next clue.

All the way. All the way. All the way!

Yeow!

Thank you very much. You have a good day.

Go.

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure.

Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.

"Drive to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum."

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Someone...

OK, come on, we can do this. We're confident.

I think it's probably key with this just to go slow

and not get flustered.

Like, it sounds like maybe the bones are easy to break or something.

Yep.

- OK, go. - I need you to guide me.

We started down the bottom of the pack

but having the Salvage on our side

really got us feeling confident about the whole leg.

I was smashing it.

Tell me when to pour it. Now? Now?

Not yet. You need to be closer. You need to be closer.

Now? OK, bit closer. Bit closer.

Now. Now.

Stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop!

Missed it. I told you... Let me do it.

Wow. That's what a dunny is.

A toilet.

I know it's another word for... the loo.

But then again, I also thought it was a small donkey or a small horse.

But it's a human in a dunny, we're pulling.

You know, our life has been a...

One big race. One big race.

Steady. Slow and steady wins the race.

I was born in Sudan, in Khartoum.

My family fled.

Kenya was taking in refugees from the civil war in Sudan.

And that's where I met Malaan.

And we are best friends.

I'm an international model. And I'm a public servant.

Oh, good job!

It's good that we're entering this as friends,

because if it's a couple, they usually bicker.

- I'll tell you when... - OK, we're fine.

Stop being stressed. It's so annoying, honestly.

It was really, really frustrating because a lot of the other teams

were just powering through.

We have to catch up.

- Have you got it? - Yep.

Go forward, go forward. Yeah?

A little bit. Keep going.

I think we did it, babe. I think we did it!

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Let's frickin' go! Let's go!

"Drive to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum."

Alrighty. Let's go.

I reckon this one's going to be hard. Yeah.

The digging's going to be the easy bit.

Setting it up's gonna be the hard part.

Yeah, putting it together is gonna be the hardest.

I don't mind a puzzle.

Let's go.

Good job, boys. Good job, boys.

We're first here, yeah? Yeah.

Going alright, eh? Yeah. Let's go.

Alright, let's go, let's go.

What do you want, babe? Which one? Whatever you want.

Looking for some bones here.

Yeah, so we pulled up there and saw the digging stations.

There was digging stations for everybody.

We had to get in there and find all these bones that were in the...

It was like a puzzle, pretty much.

You had to find all the bones and build a dinosaur.

I know absolutely nothing about dinosaurs.

But I am about to build one.

You thought you were a bloody archaeologist or anthropologist.

What's an anthropologist?

They study ants.

No!

I wouldn't even know how to say that.

What is it?

Anthropologist? Anti-pologist.

Anthropologist.

Just think about... concentrate on your feeling where that water is.

We've been given this opportunity of a second chance.

So we want to show them what we're made of.

Follow me.

Keep your keep your head back a little bit.

Yes!

Go forward. Go, go, go.

Whoo! Whoo! Yes! Yes!

Thank you very much.

Tip forward. Full tip. Full?

Yep.

Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.

Good job!

Thank you so much.

"Excavate 33 fossil bones and assemble a dinosaur skeleton

"for your next clue."

Whoo! We got this! Yes!

We can get it!

That's the most Aussie thing I've ever done.

I think that's my Australian citizenship sealed now, for sure.

Let's get 'em.

At the dunny derby, we've dropped a few places,

so we're now starting this challenge in the middle of the pack.

We need to fight to find these bones so we can get back on top.

Deb, I've got one. Good boy.

Ooh, here's a big one. Can I get your help with this?

How cool is that? 13.

Here. Got it.

Have you got it? Yeah.

We are the first team to find all 33 pieces.

Now we've got to put them together.

We wanted to smash this out and stay in the lead.

Funny-looking leg.

This one goes in here.

Did you have a hot date tonight?

Because you might want to let her know

that you're going to be a little bit late.

A little bit late? Yeah.

This is our last round.

Keep doing what you're doing, babe, you're doing great.

Thank you.

Am I right, Shannon? Talk to me. Tell me what I'm doing!

More? More? Stop pumping my arm like you're doing my blood pressure.

That was a moment where I would have loved for Shan

to be able to be talking.

Shannon would have had 50 million brilliant one-liners to drop in.

Let's finish this off.

It's just us and the mums, but they're a long way behind.

Alright, we'll try and go a bit quicker.

So we had a run-in with Holly and Dolor last leg,

and there is no way I'm going to let them beat us in this challenge.

We weren't giving up, but this is gonna be tough. Yeah.

Just us and the mums again,

which I don't mind because we know we can beat them.

Go backwards, go backwards. Forward, and go backwards.

OK, ready?

Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Backwards. Backwards.

Keep going forward. Yeah, backwards.

Yeah, we've done it. We've done it.

Thank you.

Well done, babe. We killed it.

There's only one team behind us, the mums,

but we're only about 10 minutes behind about five other teams,

and I feel confident we're going to catch up to the other teams.

Just relax, babe.

We got this. We've got the Salvage, so...

..we've got a lot of power in this leg.

Come on! Move them legs! Come on, let's go!

Listen here, Robin.

I want you to take those glasses off.

Congratulations. There's your next clue.

Thank you, Robin.

"Drive to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum."

OK, let's go! See yas.

You know what? If you've gotta go out, you gotta go out on a high.

That challenge was SO hard.

We have to leg it now to even have a chance

to catch up to the others.

We could see the Cowboys already building their dinosaurs.

We needed to catch up to them.

One more, one more. One more.

Here, I got it.

You're doing good.

As far as we can see,

all the other teams were back trying to dig and find their bones.

We work well together.

And we noticed we're running second.

Let's go!

Do want to try this one on yours?

Try that and if see that... Hang on.

The hardest part was the build. Yeah, probably right.

You keep going over it for a sec, I'll keep going with these ribs.

I felt like it was like Nan's 999 puzzle... with 998 pieces in it.

Like, it was always that one that just wasn't going to work.

Does that tail go in somehow?

It was really annoying.

We knew we had the lead on the other teams,

but we could not work out this puzzle.

See if you can work out these, 'cause these two are the same.

I'll get the ribs sorted, eh?

Big piece, small piece, big piece, small piece.

No. Not big enough.

All the flags are flying.

- You can see flags? - Yeah, yeah.

Let's try not to use the hard core stuff

so we don't break anything.

I would say you keep going straight, Shan.

Go right. No, no, right, right.

What are you pointing to? Road train?

I don't understand what you're pointing to.

OK.

They've only got potentially an hour head start.

An hour maybe.

There's a chance. There's always a chance.

The hardest thing for me, Shannon being quiet,

was that we just couldn't vibe off each other.

That's our thing.

Change that frown to a smile, nod.

Not talking was more challenging than I ever, ever dreamed.

I was in a position where there was nothing I could do.

See it's got a hole just here?

We're gonna stand this up.

It's either in one or it's in the other. It's not in both.

At the start of the build, we were quite confident

but, gosh, it was difficult.

Yeah. Then I don't know what the frig these are.

Hang on. These go here.

You sure? You sure?

This is why I always want you to do puzzles with me.

You never know when you're gonna need to build a dinosaur.

Definitely just be careful that you don't break anything.

Oh, I'm being uber careful.

So, let's get them down.

When we did get down to where

everyone was building their dinosaurs,

we were one of the last teams.

But we're smart players, so we can make that up easily.

Who's almost done? Um...

The Cowboys are really close. Yeah, yeah.

Let's try and copy while we have a chance. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

This goes right here.

This goes right here. Yep, yep.

This fits. Look. Look, it fits.

On the corner, on the outside? Yep, yep, yep, yep. OK.

Holly and Dolor were copying us.

It was bloody annoying.

Yeah, so, me and Holly, we're just looking at what the Cowboys are doing

and to other groups around us,

to see how they're constructing the dinosaur.

And then once they complete it, we'll replicate it,

put it all together and we're out of here.

So we'll be coming second or third after that.

Can you take a look to see...? Yeah, I'm looking over there.

But look specifically, look for this. Yeah, OK.

They haven't got their legs yet but the other guys have.

That's why I'm looking at what they've got.

Ah, OK. We're just guessing.

We literally haven't got there yet.

Oh, yep. OK. I get it.

Come back, come back. OK, let's go.

Damn it, he came over right when I figured that out.

They're definitely in it to win it for themselves.

I don't know if I 100% trust them at this point.

I'm very wary of them.

Oh, I love cheating on exams, so... Yeah.

If you're gonna find the answers, you may as well just replicate it.

There's no rules against it, so why not?

What's going there?

It's alright, yeah, we're good.

We've got this.

That looks good.

Move them there and then...

..those three at the back here.

The Cowboys were next to us and they were doing really well too.

It looked like we were both so close.

We just wanted to finish it first so we could be back up in front.

Yep.

Can we get checked?

I'm sorry, you two. That's a fail.

Don't stress. You don't need to get stressed.

That's got to go there and that's got to go there.

How does that look?

It was neck and neck with Shane and Deb,

but we're not gonna give up our lead.

Let's get her to come over and have a look.

Sorry, fellas, but that's incorrect.

It's something here, I'm telling you.

Put that one at the back.

Here? Yeah.

We have to work out what it was and we're looking at it.

That one's got to go there.

And then we realised the ribs...

Had to be the ribs. Yes. Yep.

Check, please!

Congratulations. Thank you!

Thank you!

"Make your way to Winton's Truck Museum."

Teams must now go to Winton truck stop

where they'll find the sign-up board for tomorrow's challenge.

Here they'll put their names down in the order they arrive.

The earlier they get there,

the earlier they get to start in the morning.

Finishing first was such a good feeling.

We could actually win this leg.

That looks heaps better.

Can we get someone to have a look at this one, please?

Thank you. Legend. Thank you.

Well done. Unreal. Cheers, mate.

Done.

This is correct. I think so.

We may as well check. How's that?

Congratulations. Thank you, yes!

Well done. Thank you! Thank you so much. Thank you.

Let's just move quick. We've got to do this. Let's go.

Watch out.

This is the third-last piece if we get it right.

And now put the hands on. Put the hands on.

Quickly, quickly.

Just... can we just not rush, OK?

OK, cool.

Check, please! Check, please!

Yes! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Let's go.

"Make your way to Winton's Truck Museum."

OK.

Is it here? Yeah, sign up here.

Oh, shall we jump in and have a look?

Yes!

I'm team number one.

Thank you.

Team number one.

Good job, guys! Good work, guys!

I'm so glad it's you guys! Yes!

Good get. Well done.

Let's just do this.

My Lordy.

Shannon, come this way.

I think we're probably the last.

It was all about, "Let's just get it done."

But at that point, it was dark.

Will we go where the other people are?

I think they're putting their dinosaur together, though.

We'll go ask someone.

Upside down. That way. Across.

Oh, my God.

It's OK. I think it's right.

Oh, my God. What?

There's a small crack in it. It's not broken.

We were really worried because we knew

if we broke any pieces we were gonna get a time penalty.

We're trying to put the tail on, it's not moving.

We have a small crack.

Let's just keep building it.

Just can't move this to the side. OK.

Whatever you do.

We have this crack in ours and we don't want any penalty

but it's not broken

and the rules said if it's broken but ours isn't broken.

Level two... OK.

Where is it sitting?

So this one... No, the next one, babe.

The next one? You sure? Yep.

This one goes here.

- Do you want a hand? - Help me, help me.

- Ow, wait, wait. - We're gonna break this.

We're gonna break this.

Here we are, yet again, trying to catch up.

And the end of our dinosaur tail snapped.

We've just played this game of catch-up

and then, now, we have that time penalty.

We realised really quickly that we could get eliminated.

Yeah, that's in. OK.

We're just going to plug that in.

We're competitive, quite competitive.

And I thought, "We have definitely got a chance here."

We are still in this.

Gentle, gentle.

It's alright. She's here, checking.

Congratulations, ladies. Thank you so much!

Check, please!

- You passed. - Yes! Oh, my God!

"Make your way to Winton's Truck Museum."

Alright, let's go. OK.

Come on.

We're on the home stretch now. We're really, really close. Yeah.

Just trying to beat the other teams and not be last.

Check, please. Check, please. Check, please. Check, please. Hey!

It's a pass. Thank you. Oh, my God.

Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.

Come on, Dad.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

One more team left.

One more team left? Yeah.

This is gonna need a miracle.

We've been working really hard to make our way to the top

and we're back on the bottom again, which is not a good feeling.

I saw so many lights of people, and now they're not there.

Yeah, because they all got lost, too.

I feel like it's around here.

What does that sign say there?

Winton Trucking Museum. OK.

Yeah, quick. Quick, quick.

Danke schoen. Great work, guys.

Check, please.

Ladies, it's a pass... Oh!

..minus the tail.

We know we're getting a time penalty at pit stop for breaking that bone,

so we had to get a move on.

The girls are done.

That's alright. Let's just keep going.

What have we got to do with the arms now?

Come on. Come on, come on.

And that. That yours?

Come on. Come on.

The fact Shannon can't speak to me because of this Sabotage,

just makes it so frustrating.

What are we doing? There?

We are so tired.

Absolutely exhausted.

We got this, Shan. Still in it. Still in it.

Check.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

We're still in this, I think. Come on.

So we're 7:25.

Good stuff, Dwes.

On the board.

Oh, there's a leaderboard.

Let's put our name at the top!

The Salvage allowed us to jump the queue on any line in any challenge.

Lucky you, guys.

Oh, yeah, you can move everybody down.

So, we waited all day to use the Salvage, and now's the time.

Well done.

Write here. Into here. Into one.

Out of the way. Out of the way. Out of the way. Out of the way.

Holly and Dolor at the top.

Well done. Well done.

Damn. That's rough.

Alright. That's OK.

Malaan, that means we have another day.

We do have another day. We're going to sleep it off.

50 minutes - we can catch up.

Follow this road down here, cross the railway line.

The Sabotage actually did make a massive difference for us.

I figure we've come this far.

We're still in the game.

Let's have a look at this.

Tomorrow is a new day.

We just have to approach it with,

it is what it is and we can only do our best.

Oh. But you're ready to go to sleep?

Is that what you're saying to me?

Or do I need to stop talking and listen?

Alright, let's go.

Last night, teams put their names on the sign-up board

in the order they arrived.

Oh, let's go.

This morning, they're kick-starting the day

with a bit of hard yakka.

This challenge is gonna be truckin' awesome.

Meet my metal mate, Clancy.

He's 53 metres long, has 62 wheels,

and he's what's known as the king of the outback roads.

In this challenge,

our teams will have to come down to the Winton truck stop

and fit two of these huge trucking monster wheels.

They weigh 80 kilos each, and need to be carefully aligned.

So teams will need to use their muscles and precise technique

to get it just right.

Once they put them on the truck to the satisfaction of Ross,

they'll get their next clue.

There it is.

Here we are, thinking we're first in line.

And Holly and Dolor got moved from near down the bottom

all the way to first place because of their Salvage.

So, we moved into second place, and that was frustrating me.

Look at that.

Number one.

Look at youse. Lucky youse got the Salvage, eh?

Good luck with it. Let's go and wait over here till five past.

Let's go. Let's go.

Hi. Morning.

You're giving a demonstration?

OK, can we watch you? OK, thank you.

We should be able to get this done very quickly.

Hopefully first go. Oh, we'll do it first go for sure. 100%

We watched the demonstration. It's pretty easy.

We can smash it out. Yeah.

OK, you got it? Oh, God, it's heavy.

Wow.

Oh, God, it's heavy. Want me to help you?

How are you going to help me? I'm just asking.

OK, I'll let you go.

Can you do it? Can you actually help me? Yeah, let's try to do it.

Lift it up. See how he's lifting it up.

With changing the truck tyres, there's two tyres to it.

And you've really got to get the first tyre up and in and on.

Then you've gotta get the second tyre and you've gotta...

Align the valves together.

You saw how the wheel bounced when he put that there. Yep.

We were feeling pretty confident about the truck tyres.

I've got a truck of me own, so we thought we

would have had a pretty good chance in there.

We both work driving trucks and delivery vehicles all the time.

This is right up our alley. We've got a chance to climb back up.

How much of an advantage do the Cowboys have at this?

We don't need to watch, do we, if we don't have to?

Righto.

So, they're not even going to watch the demo.

We chose not to do the demonstration

because we thought we had a pretty good idea what we were doing.

Grab that.

Make a good team, you know?

Make a solid team, bro. That's for sure.

If there's something that we're confident at,

we'll just steam ahead and get into it, get it done.

One more.

Not far off, are we? Give this to go.

Can we please get a judge?

Would you check this for us?

No good?

What is going on here?

Our dads would not have been impressed.

We knew we had a good opportunity to come in first today, but we blew it.

Alright, Shanny. 7:55.

It's only 55 minutes behind.

We're gonna turn the unhappy face into a...

..super happy face today.

How are you feeling, Shan?

We have been in so many high-pressure situations together

as friends.

It's my chance to step up to prove to myself

that things I think I can do that I can.

Haven't changed a truck tyre, but, you know, that's OK.

I mean, how hard can it be?

Shit. No, no. Ooh!

People seem to be having a hard time. Yeah.

Do the girls proud.

We will.

I feel like we've got a lot of similarities, actually. We do, don't we?

Can I give you some modelling tips,

'cause I've had a few laps of the runway myself.

Oh, OK. Show me.

Good job.

Same same. Same same.

What's the difference?

The same.

That's all fine. Yeah, can we have a judge, please?

Oh, thank you so much! Thank you so much!

Thank you.

Oh, a detour.

A detour is a choice between two challenges,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this detour, teams will travel

to the far side of Longreach

and choose either Pick or Polish.

They say Australia was built on the sheep's back,

and teams who choose Pick will find out why here at Camden Station.

Each team must collect freshly shorn fleece from the shearer

and clean enough wool, removing all dirt and burrs,

to fill an entire bale.

They must then roll the full bale to the farmer,

who will give them their next clue.

Meanwhile, teams who choose Polish

will head to the massive Longreach Solar Farm.

It's so big, it can power 150,000 Aussie homes

and it's even visible from space.

Here, they need to clean 42 - that's right, 42 - solar panels

out in the blistering Aussie heat.

Pick. We're gonna Pick. Pick. Let's go.

Let's go. 'Cause we're ahead.

I'll get you to have a look here if that's alright, boss?

Yeah, RMS approved?

Oh, champion.

Legend. Thank you very much.

Can we get a check?

Thank you!

Oh, my God. Thank you. Oh, my God.

OK. Pick or Polish?

Pick. Done.

Polish, I reckon. Yeah, Polish too.

Alright, Polish it is. Let's go. Let's go.

Got your seatbelt on? Yes, Mum.

Can't believe I did not put them friggin' valves the same.

The same. Facing each other. Dad's gonna kick my arse.

They'll both be like, you... You idiot.

Anyway, we got it done. We've left here in second, so...

We're third now but, you know, we can potentially end up being second,

maybe first again.

The Salvage paid off big time.

Hello!

The detour was a Pick or Polish, and we chose to pick.

Ready?

Let's go, Deb.

So, guys, we've just got to take the blackened edges away from the sides.

OK.

Where the sheep had been in the grass or anything,

they get burrs all over them

and the black where they've rubbed up against stuff.

We had to clean all the edges up.

Yeah, so we picked that wool challenge.

It's a bit closer to home for us. Yeah.

Yeah, good one, mate. Best job I've done.

I cart sheep in the truck and I work around sheep farming,

so we thought we'd be a bit more confident with that one and have a go.

Feeling heaps more at home out here.

This is good.

Brendon and Jackson are great boys,

but ultimately, we still want to beat them.

Let's go, Deb.

There so could be snakes here.

We were the first team in the Polish challenge when we arrived.

We had to clean solar panels. 42 of them.

And make sure they were spotless.

OK, here we go.

OK. Grab a broom each.

OK. Need a brush? Yep.

Hang on.

You sure you got this one? Yep.

OK. OK, so...

You're gonna go high and I'm gonna go low? Yep.

Dolor actually likes cleaning. I don't mind cleaning.

Oh, easy.

You're so good at this. Just water on a brush. Easy.

This challenge was easy.

We'll be done within the next, I reckon, 20 minutes?

Yeah.

I think we're good, Jake.

Can we please get a check?

Yes. Yes.

Come on. Two girls, we've done a good job.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much!

Detour.

Pick or Polish.

Polish? Yeah.

The Pick, for sure.

Wanna do the shearing? Let's do the shearing one. Yeah, let's do shearing.

Let's go. Let's do Polish.

We killed that! Yeah!

People are just finishing the task

and we just can't get this damn tyre up.

Just felt like a real kick in the teeth to fall all the way

back down to the bottom of the pack.

Being a competitive ballroom dance couple, we want to push each other,

be there for each other.

Ready? Ready.

We love to compete and to challenge ourselves.

Because we have a great relationship

even when we're feeling down, and we can get through this.

Let's turn this like this just a little bit.

Like, it needs to be up. OK.

We started to see the other teams were finishing up.

We definitely do not want to get eliminated.

Then we were like, "We need to pick up the pace with this."

Yep. Good job.

A lot of burrs on this one here.

What's this one been rolling in, a burr patch?

It's was takin' forever but you just tuck your chin and work.

Few more burrs up here.

Hey, boys.

Girls are here.

What we need to see is the burr

and the black edges away from the fleece.

And what tools do we have?

Just your hands. Oh, OK.

These burry bits, get rid of all that.

It's just time-consuming, so I just had to work as quickly as I could.

It's like this stuff...

Yep, just get all that, yep.

Bit closer to home this challenge. Yeah, I reckon.

Especially when you're off the land.

I haven't done this, but I've carted them.

Love it.

No, it's a bit easier than what I would have been

polishing them bloody... Solar panels.

..solar panels.

Oh, yeah. This is way better than the wool challenge.

The wool challenge. Like, this is really easy.

And no other team is here, which is a really good sign.

Hopefully there's still a couple of solar panels to be done.

OK. Let's go.

Oh, wow. I was imagining just the one panel.

Uh-oh.

That's a lot of solar panels.

I thought it would be easy.

Ready?

But you know it's this one?

You don't know for sure?

We're in the bottom three again.

If we could jump even just one place, that would be so good.

No, but it's up on that. Has it gotta go up more?

The fact Shannon can't speak to me because of this Sabotage

just makes it all so hard.

OK, I don't know what you're saying, sorry.

Did I miss that?

I think I'm working against you. What do you want me to do?

There was a lot more solar panels

than we imagined we would be cleaning.

42. 42, to be exact.

This is the first time that Mum would see Dad and I

pick up a broom or a bucket.

What?! No, I always do this.

Why are you doing it again? Huh?

What? Don't do it again. It's clean.

Now I've gotta go do the bottoms again.

OK, do it again, then. I just cleaned the bottoms.

Why are you getting so frustrated out of nowhere?

'Cause I wanna move on to the next one. It's good.

Alright. Almost done. OK, cool.

Alright. OK, let's get it checked.

Excuse me! Excuse me! Can we get a judge to check, please?

Not quite good enough, guys.

Ah! Told you. OK.

See how there's still dirt on yours here?

Where? No, that's not dirt.

OK, well, then, we'll just stay here forever, then. Far out!

Make sure we get all them edges and all them burrs.

Feels like we've been here for bloody ages.

Do you reckon it's, like, this stuff?

Yep. Just get all that. Yep.

It just seemed to take forever.

I immediately thought we'd chosen the wrong detour,

and that can cost you a lot of time in The Amazing Race.

There you are. See? Over there. No, that's all beaut. That's good.

Congratulations - that's an acceptable fleece.

Thank you so much.

Now we're gonna get a... bale.

We then had to go outside and we had to roll a bale of wool...

To a truck.

That was, like... over yonder.

Who would've thought wool would've been so heavy?

My lungs are burning.

Oh.

Whew!

Well done. Oh! Thank you, mate.

Oh! Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, mate.

Go. OK.

Pit stop, please.

"Make your way to the Stockman Hall of Fame...

"..to find Beau at the pit stop!

"Hurry! Last team to arrive might be eliminated!"

Back in 1988, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

visited Longreach to open the Stockman's Hall of Fame.

And it's here the teams will find me, and one team will be eliminated,

at the pit stop of the third leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

Hey-ya!

So, we left the sheep first, but the Cowboys went right behind us.

You right? Yep.

Let's go. Nearly there.

Well done, guys. Champion. Thanks, mate.

Cheers, mate. Appreciate it.

Appreciate it. Thank you.

"Hurry! The last team to arrive..." I know where that is.

"..may be eliminated." Let's go.

Right, get the Kath & Kim walk going, mate!

Right? Yeah, bro.

Pit stop next. Just keep going.

This is an acceptable fleece.

Whoo! Yay!

Alright - scooch, scooch, scooch, scooch, scooch, scooch, scooch.

Don't stop - we've got this.

We can do it. Push through the pain. We're not weak.

Hey!

Well done.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.

"Make your way to the Stockman's Hall of Fame

"to find Beau at the pit stop."

Let's go! Let's go!

Alright, this is it, Amanda.

Let's rotate it a little bit.

Why doesn't it wanna go on?

We were so far behind. Only three teams were still there.

We're losing time, and we were totally aware of it,

and it wasn't what we wanted.

We've still got a chance. Like, just, let's smash this.

Is it there? No, it's not.

I literally can't get it over that bolt.

Oh, that's the way.

Tyre gods, be with us.

Ooh. Far out.

Check, please!

Oh, my God!

Thank you so much. Thank you. Alright.

Oh!

"Pick or Polish."

And we picked Pick. And we picked Puck.

We picked Pick.

Two or three teams left before us.

Yeah. You know what, though?

What? We can't look back.

Now what we need to do is, who are we catching up to?

Exactly. We're not competing with the mums no more.

No. Yep. I'm looking forward.

I'm trying to catch up now.

'Cause we had a time penalty, we knew we had to really catch up.

Yes, yes! Oh, yes!

That's it. That's it.

Thank you very much. Jeez, thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Far out.

Thank you. That took too long. Let's go.

Come on, come on. "Pick or Polish."

Yeah, let's go Polish.

Yeah? Let's go Polish. Yeah, yeah.

This... rotates.

But not this?

It was so frustrating not being able to speak for this challenge.

OK, so, basically, we've gotta get this off.

Yep. OK. Let's do it.

Hopefully, hopefully, still at number one,

and heading to the pit stop.

We thought we were in the lead

but we still had no idea where the teams were

that did the Polish detour.

Now we have the target on our back.

Final stretch, boy. Guess so.

We're nailing this. We've got a really good shot at winning this leg.

Who's that? There's a team over there.

Oh, yeah?

Don't want the boys to catch us.

Where do you get to win $250,000?

That's exactly right. So it is a race.

Final stretch. All the way to the end.

We really like Shane and Deb, but we're not gonna let them beat us.

Shane, there it is on the right - the Stockman's Hall of Fame.

Yeah, there it is. There it is. We're nearly home. Nearly home.

Here we go.

I reckon they'll be out on the... where the... Yeah, out the back bit there.

..where the horses race. Yeah.

They're round the back here.

Yee-hoo!

Sorry.

G'day.

And welcome to Longreach!

Pew!

I love it.

Shane, Deb, you are...

..the first team to arrive.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'm emotional. Are you?

Yeah. Just to see the kids, and to show the kids

that we can do it and finish there.

Don't you get emotional, 'cause then I will.

Thank you. Pew-pew!

And the news keeps getting better -

you've both won a Sea World Resort family holiday,

including unlimited entry to all your favourite theme parks,

thanks to Nickelodeon - how good!

Yes!

The kids are gonna be... My little kids will love that.

That's awesome. Thank you.

Go and get some water into you... Thank you. Yes.

..and have a rest - we'll see you soon.

Well done. Thank you.

That was probably the proudest moment that I've done in my life.

Brendon, Jackson, you are... the second team to check in.

Yoo! Yoo! Alright! Awesome.

Highest we've been so far. Yeah.

Proud of each other.

Done well. Yeah. Done well.

Cool, cool, cool! Yoo!

Yep, this is it. I can see the Race flags!

Yes. Nice.

Hey!

Ashleigh and Amanda, you are the third team to check in.

Amazing! Yep.

We're ready to show the girls that any girls can do it.

Yeah. Girl power.

Good job, girls. Yee-ha!

Thank you. Be proud. Be proud.

Did you see any solar panels? No, I didn't. No.

I just wanted to get to the solar panels

and just get it done as quickly as possible.

Oh, I'm so exhausted from that last challenge.

I'm so annoyed, because we were one of the first teams there

and one of the last teams to leave.

We had never been so low in the pack.

I knew that we were ahead of Jude and Shannon,

and so I thought, "OK, we're definitely gaining some ground here.

"Like, let's just get to the other challenge."

We HAVE to make up time now, at this next challenge, don't we?

We have to make up time.

So that's... We're just gonna focus on making up time.

OK, it goes that way. That's the way. Good girl.

Right. Right's tight, left is loose.

Yep. Good job.

Can we check?

Ross, I think that looks symmetrical and fabulous.

I mean, really. I would confidently drive that truck.

I absolutely would. I would not have a problem with it.

I would be thinking it would be great. Um...

I think it's spinning.

Oh, Ross.

Ross. Ross.

You're gonna get a big smooch. It's comin' for ya.

It's comin' for ya! Ross!

Even though we passed, leaving last was a real blow.

We just had to hope for a miracle.

We're just hoping no more mistakes between now and the pit stop.

We can't afford a mistake.

Pick and Polish - that way.

Smash this out. Scrub hard. Scrub fast.

Let's just get this done quick.

Let's go, Shan.

Oh, shit!

Oh! Someone's forgotten their bags.

Someone's left their bags.

That was a great moment for us. It was.

Because we knew, at some stage,

someone had to come back and get them.

There's still a glimmer of hope here

that we can get to the pit stop on time.

Oh, no! We left our bags!

My heart just came out of my body.

We left our bags!

We left our bags.

And now we had to do a full U-turn, go and get our bags back.

We were gonna fall into the back of the pack.

Jesus Christ!

Finally got into the car park of the truck museum.

We sprinted to our bags.

Oh, my God. Go, go, go, go.

We're gonna make it. We're gonna make it.

So we got back in the car and we just tried to

catch up to them as quickly as we could.

We're screwed.

Through the shed and around the sheep.

Oh, thank you. Thanks so much.

Just up there. Hey, guys. Nice work. Thank you.

Amazing. Nice work. Thank you.

Hi, guys. Hi. Hello.

We wanna get it as clean as possible.

Thank you, thank you.

Alright, the mums are here now, Dwes. We need to get moving.

The mums are here.

Yeah, we're quite close with the girls now. We're neck and neck.

Let's go. Ready?

I feel like that's really lovely.

Nice and soft.

Can we please get it checked? Can we get it checked?

Is it looking better?

Great work there. Oh, thank you! Oh, my God!

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Appreciate it.

"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Yeah, let's go. Let's go.

Hat off to you, sir. This is hard work.

Thank you very much. Let's go, Dad. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Beautiful. Let's go. Let's go.

Your fleece is acceptable. Thank you.

Beautiful. Thank you so much.

One more. One more.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

"Hurry. The last team may be eliminated." Alright, cool.

I think, Malaan, catch your breath now.

When we land, we're running. Yeah.

We cannot be eliminated today.

No, we're not gonna be eliminated today.

Like, I'm hoping our competitive energy now

is going to give us the edge.

Yeah, me too.

Let's go.

Hi, guys.

Hi. How you doing?

Thank you very much.

Run.

We lost lots of time doing that. Yeah.

We're under a lot of pressure, which is not fun.

But we just have to have a good attitude.

I've gotta give it to Violeta, she's remained really positive.

It was probably the only thing that kept us going.

It was really, really helpful.

We've had our fair share of setbacks today,

so we're just hoping for a miracle here

and we can get back to pit stop before another team.

Good work, guys. Yes!

Yes, OK. OK.

Oh, my God.

Let's go.

"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Let's go. Let's go.

I can see other teams leaving, and the pressure is strong.

This is really, really hard. And I'm feeling really down.

I thought that was it. We were last by such a long way.

If you think about where the other teams are, you'd give up.

We just have to remain focused on our task.

Yeah, you've got it. Do we just put it in here?

Yep.

Almost. Come on.

Whoo!

Come on!

"Make your way to Stockman's Hall of Fame to find Beau at the pit stop.

"Hurry. The last team may be eliminated." Let's go.

Whoo! We're on our way back to the pit stop.

So, Malaan and Tina are gone. They were here.

And so have Dwes and Katherine.

They've left as well.

So we're just putting all our money on the solar farmers

taking a long time.

Oh, my goodness. I just think we chose the wrong detour.

But we're here, we've gotta commit to it.

Hopefully, with a bit of luck, we can get out just behind the rest.

Catch up on the road or on foot.

We've got groups behind us.

G'day, and welcome to Longreach.

Thank you very much.

Skye-Blue, Jake, you are the fourth team to check in.

Alright, guys, see you later. Go!

Get some water, Skye! Go get some water!

Hi.

Holly, Dolor, you are the fifth team to check in.

Oh, thank you. Oh, my God. Hit our goal.

How was the Salvage?

It was great. It was great.

And it was a big advantage? It was a massive advantage, yeah.

Yeah, it made a big difference.

Come on.

Come on, Dad.

Jobelle, Rani, you are the sixth team to check in.

Whoo!

Yee-ha!

Let's go, Jess.

G'day, and welcome to Longreach.

Sefa and Jess, you are the seventh team to check in.

Yeah, baby!

Whoo!

Alright, go have a sleep. See ya. Thanks, Beau.

Like, we just don't want to go home today, honestly.

Malaan and I have been through a lot. We've had a lot of challenges.

I think all those experiences have really made us

strong and confident young women.

Yesterday, they gave us a time penalty

because of the dinosaur puzzle, when it broke.

That's what's been stressing me out the whole day, but...

We've done everything right today, T, so let's just hope for the best.

Alright, T, come on.

Let's do this.

Ooh!

Malaan and Tina...

..you are the eighth team to arrive.

However, you will serve a 10-minute penalty

because you broke the tail of the dinosaur at the dino dig.

So please step to the side of the mat.

Thanks, Beau.

We're stuck at the pit stop, waiting.

We knew that some teams were still coming in.

This is going to be the longest wait of our lives.

One, two, three.

But one of us could not speak for the...

That was actually really hard 'cause we hadn't talked for so long.

We were really at our lowest.

One more. Are we there?

Thank you so much.

"Make your way to the Stockman's Hall of Fame to find Beau at the pit stop.

"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Let's go, Shan.

I feel really, really confident. What are you thinking, Shan?

Yeah. OK, we'll take it.

Keep the pressure on it, keep the pressure on it.

You can't just scrub it like that, you have to keep the pressure on.

It is. The pressure is on it, Jordan.

Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong today.

So we were thinking, Jude and Shannon have caught up,

like, we could be last.

OK, let's get it checked.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Let's go. Let's go.

Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

I really hope we can get through this.

I'm just praying that we're not last.

We have no idea where the other teams are.

We don't know what place we're in.

It's good, baby. We've done alright.

The girls might have a penalty.

Hello. Hello.

Chris and Aleisha,

you are the ninth team to arrive.

However, you are the eighth team to check in.

Sorry, girls. That's OK.

Congrats. Thank you.

Good stuff, you're still in the race. Proud of you, guys.

Go and recover. Go and have a rest. Come on!

G'day, and welcome to Longreach.

Thank you. Thank you.

Dwes and Katherine, you are the 10th team to arrive.

Whoo!

But you're the ninth team to check in.

Yes.

We're so grateful, we're still in the game.

We're so thankful for that opportunity

to redeem ourselves on the next leg.

Yay!

Come on, come on, come on.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, Shan.

We're just gonna leg it once we get to the pit stop.

We're gonna leg it. Let's finish this strong, V.

Just bring it home strong, no matter what.

We've got this, lady.

Almost there. Is it the pit stop?

My adrenaline is pumping.

There's another car coming.

OK. That's OK. Pull in next to them, pull in next to them.

Go. Let's go, let's go.

Come on!

Come on.

Jordan and Violeta, you are the 11th team to arrive,

but you're the 10th team to check in.

Yes! Yes!

I don't know if I've ever been so happy in my life.

You're still in the race.

We want to be in this race.

We're going to focus on climbing up those spots.

We're gonna work really hard.

Go and catch a rest. Go and have a rest. Go and have a shower.

Malaan and Tina, please step back on the mat.

Girls, you have served your 10-minute penalty and now...

..you are the 11th team to check in.

You're still in the race.

Thanks, guys. Well done, girls.

Thank you so much. We'll see you soon.

We're determined to catch up. Just give it our all.

And, yeah, try and climb our way up to the top.

Where we belong.

Jude, Shannon, you are...

..the last team to check in. Oh, really?

And your time on the Race is over.

We gave it our all. We gave it all.

There's nothing else we could have done.

You've gotta be proud of each other, come on. Yeah, we are.

I'm super proud that we've got here today

and got through the prelim rounds.

You've got some good news - you get to go home to your family, give them a hug.

Fantastic. Keep smiling and walk proud.

Will do. You did yourselves proud.

Thanks so much. Thanks, Beau.

We have had the absolute time of our life.

We have spent quality time together.

We have visited amazing destinations in Australia.

For me, this is an unforgettable moment that we, knowing Jude and I,

we will talk again and again and again about.

Whoo! Whoo!

Coming up on The Amazing Race Australia...

It's like a paradise. The whole world is within Australia.

..we're off for a week of island hopping.

This is The Amazing Race! It's amazing!

But for some teams, this ain't no holiday.

Bad luck. Alright, let's try again. I'm sorry.

No, it's OK. I just felt so frustrated.

It's a week so tough...
