Amazing Racers Reach Darwin, Wade through Crocodile Pool

Thursday May 25, 2006
In Episode 10 of the current CBS reality-TV series The Amazing Race, shown on Australia's Seven network tonight, Thursday local time, the four remaining teams left Perth and flew on to Darwin in the Northern Territory.

Check out their route from Darwin Airport to Crocodylus Park where they had to wade through a pool of crocodiles to get their next clue: head south to the town of Batchelor south of Darwin where one of each racing pair had to go tandem skydiving. Then it was off to the magnetic termite mounds at Litchfield National Park.

Encountering a Detour, they then had to choose either Wet (hike and swim one mile down a river) or Dry (drive to The Lost City, find a didgeridoo and have a local Aborigine teach them to play it.

Their final Australian Pit Stop was at Lake Bennett where they discovered it had been a non-elimination leg and next week, the four pairs of amazing racers leave Australia for Thailand.
