The Amazing Race Australia 2

The 2nd season of The Amazing Race Australia started at the eastern approach of the Royal Botanic Garden alongside Farm Cove overlooking the Sydney Harbour skyline.

On 17 July 2011, the Seven Network announced that the show was renewed for a second edition.

Filming began on 18 November 2011 at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney. This season travelled across four continents, 9 countries and 17 cities and was over 65,000 kilometres (40,000 mi) long. The 2012 edition marked a first time visit by a Eurasian or Australian edition of the franchise to the Americas, including the first visit by an Amazing Race franchise to the nation of Cuba, a country the original American edition couldn't visit at the time as the United States embargo against Cuba prevented Americans from visiting the island but restrictions have since been loosened due to the Cuban thaw of the Obama Administration.[2] This season was also the first version outside of the American edition to circumnavigate the globe.

Three new twists were introduced in this season. The Salvage Pass was awarded in Leg 1, giving the recipient team a choice between a one-hour head start or saving the last team from elimination in that leg, a U-Turn vote in Leg 4 that required all teams to vote for the team to be U-Turned at the start of the leg (This twist was also used in the second Israeli season which was also produced by ActiveTV) and an Anonymous U-Turn in Leg 5, in which the team who elected to use it would remain anonymous (this twist was first adopted in the fourteenth American season under the name Blind U-Turn).[3] In Leg 6, a Yield was present for the first time in the Australian version.

During Leg 4, Lucy & Emilia were detained for driving into the grounds of a royal palace in Dubai, however, they were eventually released with a warning.

Applications for the season ended on 19 August 2011. On 20 April 2012, the teams were announced by the Seven Network.[4] The cast includes Indigenous Australian cousins, cops, a pair of hairdressers, identical twins and St. George Illawarra Dragons cheerleaders Michelle and Jo Troy,[5] former Australian rules footballer Ross Thornton and his daughter Tarryn, and the franchise's first disabled contestant, Sticky, who was born without a left forearm. Lucy & Emilia were originally picked for the first series but dropped out at the last minute due to their mother falling sick.

In 2018, Sarah Roza appeared on the fifth season of Married at First Sight.[6]

The show was on hiatus from 30 July to 6 August 2012 to avoid clashing with the 2012 Summer Olympics. The final three episodes aired from 13 August 2012 on consecutive nights.

Honda, Bing Lee and PUMP Water continued their sponsorship. The new sponsors for this series were Zuji Australia, a sister company of Travelocity (an official sponsor of the original American version), and Swisse Vitamins.

Similar to the second series of the Israeli version, teams on the fourth leg voted for who should receive the U-Turn. Teams voted privately at a special U-Turn board prior to leaving the Pit Stop, and the results were revealed at a second U-Turn board where the penalised team would see who voted for them. The team with the most votes was penalised with the U-Turn penalty.

Only the U-Turn in Leg 4 was aired. According to racer Sticky, there was a second unaired U-Turn vote on the leg of his and Sam's elimination (Leg 8).[11][12][13]
