Finally to Sydney!

The biggest group got together in Sydney for the final leg of the launch,


The public bus network was used for the last time with some getting right into the spirit from the start!





How many 'sails' are there on the Opera House? Teams had to make their way there to find out, some using their ingenuity and visiting a souvenier shop rather than treking all the way down there!

The following task was the wave, with most teams utilsing the public gathered around the Opera house and Circular Quay






Another Sydney specific one next, with the price of an adult Zoo Pass from Circular Quay required. The actual price causing a bit of friendly controversy later on!

Entertaining skills were needed again for the busking, with modern interpretive dance utilized for the first time!




Some team opting to help a charity with their busking efforts!


Off to the Art Gallery next, with names of the promient painters depicted on the front wall of the gallery required.


Some great Abbey Road photos were taken in Sydney;





Off to the QVB next to find the name of the dog statue at the southern entrance


Some teams used transport to get around, whether it was with a funny taxi driver or a free courtesy bus!



The Sydney Morning Herald was used for the anagram, with most teams working out "Hyde Park War Memorial" easily.

The picture drawn by the QLD team was next up, with a very ingenius image to decipher


The favourite in the tip sheet is "White Horse" being ridden by S.Hills. The answer being "The White Horse" in Surry Hills.


The yellow team came in first again, proving to be the most successful colour after the 5 launches! A great night of food and wine was had in what capped off a great couple of weeks touring the country

Raising the bar in Brisbane.....

Straight onto the buses for the QLD teams and a few extra tasks were added to spice things up!





This time the states split for the second task, with 2 needing to find an internet cafe and the other 2 needed to earn some cash busking





For the next task, counting shoe shops within the Wintergarden shopping centre was required, each team got the correct number of 6.


The wave was next with members of the public asked to do a mexican wave for the camera, some teams even had to explain what a mexican wave was!





A scenic task followed with the name of a road within the Botanical gardens needed, the correct answer being 'Weeping Fig Avenue' and proved to be one that teams found particularily hard. The other split task was due now, with busking and googlefight called into action



Another Bris-vegas specific task was asked, the number of floors in the AMP Place tower required. The number varying slightly, but all were decided to be close enough. The anagram was next, some teams calling on external means to help!



The 'Abbey Road' photo proved to be popular again, with some teams risking life and limb!





Another QLD specific task next, with teams having to find images of their families coat of arms. Every team found some family heritige, with images to follow...

Pictionary followed with the image drawn by the WA team needing to be deciphered!


The venue for the eveing being the 'Era Bistro', The yellow team came in first place, followed by blue, then red with the green team bringing up the rear!

A close finish in Perth..

Onto Perth for the next leg of the launch..


The WA guys getting stuck in straight away!



On the buses first, with the teams fighting over the backseat!


Googlefight was next, with an internet cafe a little hard to find.



An extra task for the Perth guys, getting 5 members of the public to do a mexican wave!


Onto to old London Court, with the inscription under the clock required


'Jingle Bells' made an encore performance for the busking, while one team collaborated to earn the 50 cents!



Pedestrian crossings were a rarity in Perth, with teams having to travel quite far to find one!



and one even having to ask for some assistance along the way


The anagram proved to be a bit easy, with The Swan Bells being the answer.





In the end after each team traipsed around the city independently, they both arrived at the venue at exactly the same time, as such it was called a tie, with the points being halved and awarded to both teams!
