The Amazing Race Australia 3 is the third season of The Amazing Race Australia, an Australian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Officially titled The Amazing Race Australia v New Zealand and hosted by Grant Bowler, it featured ten teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship (five from Australia and five from New Zealand), in a race around the world to win the grand prize of A$250,000. This season visited six continents and ten countries and travelled over 90,000 kilometres (56,000 mi) during ten legs. Starting at Uluru, racers travelled through New Zealand, Cambodia, Thailand, Namibia, Russia, Portugal, Croatia, Argentina and the United States before returning to Australia and finishing in Port Campbell. New twists introduced in this season include awarding the winners of the first leg a second Express Pass that they had to give to another team, the Nation vs. Nation task and the Speed Bump. The season premiered on Australia's Seven Network on 4 August 2014 after The X-Factor and on New Zealand's TV2 on 5 August 2014 after My Kitchen Rules 5. The season concluded in Australia on 25 September 2014 and in New Zealand on 7 October 2014.
Australian intensive care nurses Daniel Little and Ryan Thomas were the winners of this season, while dating turned engaged bodybuilders Sally Yamamoto and Tyson Smith finished in second place and newlyweds Ashleigh and Jarrod Jende finished in third place.
