Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the contestants are instructed to paint the most accurate map of Australia. The painting must be created on a canvas at ground level, while the contestants must conduct their painting from the balcony above. Some canvas sheets have been laid on the floor of the balcony, which may have been an intentional ploy to mislead the contestants into painting on the wrong surface.

Task notes

The task takes place on the balcony of the Taskmaster house, where canvas drop-cloths have been put down on the floor and over the balcony railing.
On top of a plinth, there's a small easel, upon which are found an artist's palette and some paintbrushes.
Stood along the balcony railing are a set of six bottles of different-coloured poster paint.
Below the balcony, more canvas drop-cloths are laid on the ground, with a canvas laid in the centre.
