#1 some desert location??? Actually, if you watch the promo, you can see what is going on here. In the background is ocean, and on the right hand side a very long table. The promo has a shot of a bus travelling along the ocean, and a close up of the table I think the Heston week as you thought before is some kind of road-trip (see the shot of the bus in the promo too), must be a very long trip to reach the ocean (!!!!), in addition to the regional Victoria that we already know about. See in the promo the shot of Heston saying "get your bags!!!!!", standing in front of probably a bus and the hedges in the front of the Masterchef kitchen... I was going back to the schedule you found before, if I got it correctly... Around 20/21 Feb - Pioneer Settlement, Swan Hill Around 22 Feb - Brim Silos Around 23/24 Feb - near MilduraNow I am thinking this "sandy" landscape may be in the Murray-Sunset National Park, what looked like the "ocean" at the back could be the Pink Lakes? This makes more sense, seeing they are in the north-west region, so they could be travelling by bus from Mildura to the National Park?

Yes, I think you are correct, this seems much more likely. The interesting shot is this one -- imgur.com/a/4UgpdThere can't be many lakes that match, because it would have to be pretty large

It seems like from Mildura they are straight back to Melbourne (based on sightings of Heston posted above); meaning that the Heston week should begin filming perhaps around the 12th of February (assuming two weeks per one week of TV)? So perhaps the visit to Williamstown can also be part of this week too? That would probably leave one (??) more stop in between Williamstown and Swan Hill, does it make a sensible route? Hmmmmmm
Of course, there are other options, such as from Mildura, have the final elimination of the week in MC kitchen after the camping supershow is finished

If this special airs on Thurs 27 April, I wonder if it hinted the premiere of MasterChef will be on Sun 30 April?

Caught a promo early this morning, and quickly hit the record button, but miss the first few seconds of the promo. However managed to get 4 scenes from Japan... The judges in the rain... Looks like on a street somewhere... Sensoji Temple? And a couple of random scenes, artificial cherry blossoms(?) and shop lantern signs...

Caught the promo again, got another 2 shots... This must be the same street that showed the 3 judges in the rain above - interestingly in the promo, this scene was flipped the wrong way, I flipped it back the correct way, so the inside-out ten logo is now on the bottom left hand corner... The Mt Fuji shot, was it taken from sensoji temple? ?

After some work, the location of the first picture is this, the famous (?) Nishi Shinjuku shopping street goo.gl/maps/TZ3e1UYtpq12The giveaway is the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower in the background, the first thing to come up when I search "japan lattice building" =D You can see on the right hand side of the road the "3F" sign, also a Turkish flag, matching in the image and also the street view from the google map The second seems to be Chureito Pagoda (I am not a pagoda expert, but it looks pretty matching to me). It is actually on the exact opposite side of the mountain to the photo taken by the food team, so this could well be just stock footage...

Good work! I did a little searching this morning as well, LOL. I only ended up with it being somewhere in Shinjuku... I use the shop sign "Isomaru Suisan" to search, and found out that there're apparently 11 franchises in the Shinjuku district, and gave up... LOL

Yes, I think the pagoda is Chureito Pagoda.

Going through and deleting my haphazard recordings of the Masterchef promos and found this, somehow with me hitting the record button whenever a promo came on telly, I missed this one... This looks like from the long table at Murray-Sunset?
