In an intense grand finale, the winner of The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition 2025 has been revealed.
In total, 13 teams headed into the competition all hoping to win an incredible $100,000 for their chosen charity.
The final three teams were couple Georgia Tunny and Rob Mills, brothers Stephen and Bernard Curry, and lastly, Below Deck’s Aesha Scott with her fiance Scott Dobson.
For the last leg, The Amazing Race headed to the largest active volcano in Indonesia, Mount Merapi. One of the tasks required the teams to split volanic rocks using ancient local techniques. The next task was a dance challenge, followed by the final task: a puzzle!
The first to greet host Beau Ryan at the final pit stop, and therefore win The Amazing Race 2025, were the Curry brothers!
“We didn’t give up,” Steve said. “We wanted to do it for… well, for One In Five but it’s about our kids and our families. We know winning Amazing Race is a really tough thing to do, and I can’t even believe that we’ve done it,” Stephen said following the win.
“The experience that I’ve had with my brother and my best friend is something that I will just never, ever forget.”
As winners, Stephen and Bernard won $100,000 for their charity, One in Five.
“Competing in The Amazing Race has been nothing short of a truly once in a lifetime experience,” Wentworth’s Bernard added.
“We came into it with open hearts and minds, and a competitive spirit of wanting to win for our charity. But also wanting to play fair, enjoy every moment, become closer as brothers and mates, and make lasting friendships with all of the other wonderful contestants, while recognising the privileged position we were in, and always having gratitude for that.”
One in Five is an not-for-profit charity aimed at unlocking better treatments and hope for mental illnesses with medical research. The brothers have been ambassadors for the charity for more than 20 years.
The organisation was founded in memory of their friend, Matt Wardlaw, who took his own life in 2001.
