From there, teams had to travel to the Murray House in order to find their next clue. This leg's Detour was a choice between Dragon or Lion. In Dragon, teams had to row a 12-seat dragon boat through a marked course in order to retrieve their next clue. In Lion, teams had to carry a ceremonial lion through a course of narrow markets and steep stairs in order to retrieve their clue. After completing the Detour, teams were instructed to fly to Sydney, Australia, and find their next clue at the Sydney Opera House.
