2003 ACCA Amazing Race

 Organised by Paul Elsdon, the ACCA Amazing Race was on for young and old, couples and singles.
 Gathered at the start of the race, we get our first clue
Bindy, Ange, Nathan, Megan, Kelly, Wendy
 I roped Nathan in to be my partner as Evan was racing with Casey.
Chris, Lis, Quan and Wendy
 Couples in their matching gear.
Vanita
 A stop at the QVB, where one of the pair had to race down to Macca's and buy a burger and eat it. Vanita was manning this pit stop, a volunteer helping out and not racing.
Waiting for Nathan to get the burger and eat it before we race off to our next clue. I think it led us to the Power House Museum. From there we somehow ended up at Blues Point? or somewhere on the north shore. The stairs up nearly killed me.
Casey reading the clue. Taxi ride to the Andrew Boy Charlton Swimming Pool. A lot of couples took an expensive taxi ride to Manly. I thought it was the North Sydney pool, but Nathan knew where it was. The pool was actually located at the Royal Botanic Gardens.

 A group photo of the racers.  Where were we???
Dinner at a pub in The Rocks and lots of stories to tell.
