Stuart & Glennon

Stuart McGrath and Glennon Babui are a team of Baru Mates on The Amazing Race Australia 6.

Running the Race to prove themselves and make their communities proud, Stuart & Glennon struggled to keep up with the competition, and usually found themselves at the back of the pack, even checking in at the bottom 3 for three out of five legs. After they contracted COVID-19, they were isolated from the other teams and skipped three legs. When they returned in Colombia with Kathy & Chace, they continued to struggle yet again, barely avoiding elimination. On their next and final leg, Stuart's anxiety and leg injury got to him at the tango task, causing them to take a penalty and resulting in their elimination.

Stuart and Glennon were both raised within communities of Tiwi Island and Elcho Island. They met five years ago and instantly became best mates. Their first language is Tiwi and Yolngy Matha, but they are both well immersed in Western and Indigenous cultures, so this is no obstacle.

Glennon is single, has a bright personality and is always cheerful. He is studying a Diploma in Travel and Tourism/House Keeping in Daydream Island, Queensland. Stuart is a single father of two daughters, is passionate about helping people on Elcho Island battling Rheumatic Heart Disease, and won the 2021 NT Young Australian of the Year award.

The two are both very competitive and thrive for success in all areas of their professional and personal lives. Stuart would spend the prize money on education, and Glennon wants to help his family and demonstrate to their communities that anything is possible.
