Bonus Boards

Just curious how many bonus boards you have found?

As of now in the demo, I’ve found 43 total boards, and i’ve listed the locations of each for when the full game comes out.

I know there’s no reward car for playing the demo, but usually the demo is just a small part of the actual full game, so a lot of these boards will be found in the same spots in the full game.

Hopefully this thread will be used for the full game should anyone have trouble finding all 150 boards.

Yeah, I need to remember where a few particularly difficult to find boards are located. Like, I found one worth 20,000xp between a house and shed somewhere in the woods.

Nice! Guess I’ll have to search harder. Probably 50 total?

I won’t spoil the fun for me and stay away from barn find and bonus board spoilers a far as possible. I’ll discover it on my own pace in the full game. :slight_smile:

There is a 20,000 xp board on top of one of the giant rock thingies in the The Twelve Apostles.

There’s actually 2 20,000xp boards at the apostles. One is quite easy to get and one is nigh on impossible to get unless you have the Holden and some serious luck and grip to reach.

Damn, I only have 1 listed at the Twelve Apostles. This one was about 830 yards south of the Twelve Apostles Beauty Spot and was wedged VERY tightly between two sheds.

Can you be more specific on the impossible one? I know there is a bonus board if you just drive past the beached Arch, at least that’s how it looks on the map. But it’s actually on top of the arch and can easily be accessed by going off the main highway there and driving up to it. I stopped before hitting it to check out the XP of the arch-top board and it’s only a 5,000 XP.

FULL LIST of everything the 43 I found so far: SPOILER ALERT
1,000 XP under the northernmost wooden bridge in Byron Bay
1,000 XP on a dirt path enxt to the beach in Byron Bay
5,000 XP under the pier (near the Byron Bay Beauty Spot)
1,000 XP On the end of the above pier
1,000 XP from the second southern-most roundabout, go west a smidge
5,000 XP another next to a sharp dirt corner
5,000 XP another dirt one, near the previous one
?,??? XP Near the Rainforest Reveal Danger Sign
5,000 XP under Maroondah Waterfall
1,000 XP southern end of Maroondah Reservoir
1,000 XP on a main road south of Maroondah Reservoir
5,000 XP behind a house east of the Reservoir
1,000 XP next to a waterfall off the first pave/pave intersection east of the northern end of Maroondah Reservoir
5,000 XP from the second dirt road east of Maroondah Reservoir, drive 0.5 miles then turn right as the road makes a shallow U shape, going offroad into the creek. It’s on an Island between two creeks
1,000 XP under the bridge just before reaching the river delta driving from the reservoir
1,000 XP follow the “Souht delta shore Road” (the main road) to find two more. The first is on top of a sand dune, visible from the road.
5,000 XP see above board. 5,000 XP board right next to the main road.
1,000 XP Another on the main shore road. just south of the first pave/pave intersection south of the Great Ocean Road Beauty Spot
20,000 XP Turn around after the above and take that secondary paved road to the second dirt road (1st on the left). It’s between the trailer homes at the curve.
20,000 XP From the above board, go back to the paved road from which you came and continue west to the next dirt road. Between the house and its shed.
5,000 XP East of the Twelve Apostles Beauty Spot, but need to be on the clifftop and drive through the grass to get to it.
5,000 XP take the dirt road, west of the Twelve Apostles Beauty spot, and make the first left. the board is inside the decrepit shed in the midpoint of the road
5,000 XP On the dirt road SE of the Twelve Apostles spot next to the northernmost lake.
20,000 XP directly south of the Twelve Apostles, tightly between two barns. about 830 yards south, basically the next off-road junction.
5,000 XP Behind a shack just a bit south of the above in a y-shaped dead-ender.
1,000 XP Look at Byron Bay. There are three north-south routes, take the middle route north to the creek just north of the city.
5,000 XP end of dead end trail inside of the west-pointing Y west of The Twelve Apostles.
5,000 XP at T-shaped junction of trails under the word “RAINFOREST”
5,000 XP Head south at the T-shaped junction from above board and take first left. the board is at the next junction after
1,000 XP Head back to the main road by continuing on your current dirt road. once on the main road, turn left. The board is at the next corner.

Tried to make the list and directions as easy to follow as I could.

I think I found maybe 30 or so in the demo, but I wasn’t really looking for them, I just grabbed them whenever one of them happened to be close to me :stuck_out_tongue:

I just found another XP board, though I have no idea where it is yet… It’s definitely in the 12 Apostles, might be the impossible one S0NY 4 L1FE mentioned.

EDIT:
20,000 XP This one is located on top of the largest of the Apostle rock formations where there’s no route to the top. You literally have to fly your car over the big gap to get it. Recommended speed before launch would be about 90mph, faster definitely helps. H/T to Soules Reaper

I got there with the Silvia. Took me several tries and a small “cheat” (ie. rewinding). And once I was up there, I enjoyed the view so much, I made a time-lapse of the Apostles with the weather changing. Check it out at Imgur

The second 20,000 board is further up the beach towards the festival on another rock. It’s very hard to get to as there is literally no grip. It’s like the other one where you need to jump to it. If you go to the first 20,00 board and look towards the nearest rock on festival side you can just make it out. It’s literally at the top of the rocks and you need to crawl your way to it. If I had a pic id happy put it up.

I’m with ya. But if you’re SOOOO close to getting all the bonus boards and you’ve searched everywhere, this will help you in the future. lol.

some are hard to get some are easy just got to look and drive every road took me a bit bot now i know were 47 are so wen i get early access on 23rd i can get them easily

I found a 48th. it’s a Fast Travel board, so that’s 32 XP boards and 16 Fast Travel Boards in the Byron Bay Festival area. The last Fast Travel board is in the biggest of the three ponds on the dirt switchbacks north of the city. If you look at the map there’s three roundabouts in Byron City proper, the switchbacks are north of the third one. As you drive by the largest pond, use the free look and look toward the far side of the pond.

ive only played the demo twice (I’m waiting for the full game before I spend a lot of time doing this), but in that short time I found 23. the exploration is my favorite part of this series.
