Looked for a thread for this, couldn't find one. Finished filming last week, should be back shortly after Easter.
The new host Shura Taft tweeted some mild location spoilers throughout filming that suggests this'll be a bit like the 'new location every week' feel Excess Baggage had (because we all know how that worked). Without going into too much detail about the actual towns involved, it looks like it'll be based around New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and maybe Western Australia. I think it's a good mix - no version of The Mole has ever filmed in WA (our version's done all the eastern states aside from the ACT, and the Dutch version has used Adelaide and Darwin), Victoria and Tasmania are a nice callback to Grant's first season, and NSW's turned up a fair bit but only for season-premiere episodes before they move on elsewhere (and for the live eliminations, but the less said about them the better).
