Heath Curry and Toni Hilland are a team of Memory Makers and the Official Winners on The Amazing Race Australia 6.
At the start of the Race, they were a solid yet inconsistent team. While they won a leg, they made several mistakes that frequently pushed themselves to the back of the pack. This ultimately culminated in them finishing in last in Colombia, only surviving due to it being a Non-Elimination Leg.
Immediately after this, however, they made an impressive comeback, thanks to Toni's determination and fiery competitiveness for the Race and Heath's supportiveness and well-calibrated teamwork. For the back half of the Race, they ended up never finishing below 2nd place with the exception of the penultimate leg, even winning a total of four legs before the finale.
In the finale, despite Toni gradually getting stressed and nearly cracking over the pressure, they managed to keep a positive and encouraging mindset. After Heath finished the sandcastle Roadblock in first place, their lead heading into the memory task ended up being too big for any other team to overcome, ensuring their victory.

Heath and Toni, a highly competitive husband and wife, are in it to win it. They are no stranger to the stamina needed in The Race, with both working out at the gym three to four times a week. Heath plays squash and basketball weekly, and Toni plays badminton and netball weekly. Toni has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, but she and Heath are in The Race to prove life can be positive and full of love and adventures.
The two bring out the best in each other and have a perfect balance - Toni is a Calamity Jane, going one hundred miles an hour, and she speaks her mind. Heath is incredibly loyal and everybody's best friend. Together they have been on a nine-week tour around Australia in a camper trailer, as well as the UK, UAE, Laos, Vietnam, Canada, Iceland, Scotland, Indonesia, the Philippines, and now The Amazing Race Australia.

What excites and scares you most about traveling? The feeling of the unknown when it comes to traveling is what excites but scares me about travelling. Sometimes you have an experience of a lifetime when travelling which is one of the most exciting things. However, you can also find yourself in situations which are completely outside of you comfort zone especially when in a different culture.
What do you think will be your biggest advantage or strength in The Race? I think our biggest advantage will be our resilience in the face of adversity. Toni and I have been through a lot as a couple and we have always come through the other side.
