THERE was lots of garish lycra and frantic running around when The Amazing Race Australia came to Fremantle during Easter.

Filming took place on April 14 at the Town Hall in Walyalup Koort, the Round House, Bon Scott statue at Fishing Boat Harbour, Gage Roads Brewery and Victoria Quay, before 

the film crew headed over to Rottnest.

“Through our film friendly policy the city assisted the producers in obtaining the necessary approvals, putting them in touch with local businesses and generally helping out where required,” Fremantle council media advisor Tim Whyte says.

The highly popular adventure/reality game show features hyperactive teams rushing around the world, trying to solve clues and puzzles and complete physical challenges in famous landmarks and cities. The episode of The Amazing Race Australia featuring Fremantle is due to screen on Channel 10 in the second half of 2022.
