Alone Australia - Season 1

In this debut episode of Alone Australia, ten outdoor survivalists are dropped into Tasmania's remote wilderness in the middle of winter. The challenge is simple: they must survive totally alone and unaided for as long as they can. The last person standing wins $250,000.

It's the morning after their first night in the wilderness, and the participants are discovering how tough a Tasmanian winter can be. Will the conditions prove too tough for some?

Until now, the participants have been focussed on getting their camps established to protect against Tasmania's unrelenting winter climate. But after days without food, hunger is becoming a driving force. What can they catch or forage in the wilderness that will sustain them for the days and weeks ahead? Will the conditions prove too tough for some?

The participants reveal the sources of their strength as they contend with hunger, the elements, and their own thoughts in the Tasmanian wilderness.

The participants struggle with hunger, fatigue, cold, and the question of whether this challenge is worth it.

After making it through the settling-in period, the remaining participants figure out their own strategies, which they hope will allow them to outstay their competitors.

The contestants approach two weeks in the wilderness and, with most of them not having caught anything to eat, food is becoming a critical issue and desperation is growing.

Survival in the wilderness proves to be just one part of the challenge. Emotional isolation weighs heavily on the participants, and the toll is too great for one person.

The remaining competitors in the Tasmanian wilderness have no idea how much longer the competition will go on for, heightening the daily challenges.

After ten days in the Tasmanian wilderness, just three participants remain. Having survived the settling-in period, each contestant focuses on their own strategies.

The worsening weather poses a tough challenge for the contestants. As it becomes apparent that a change of strategy is significant to their survival and success, they are forced to make some tough choices.

Amanda Keller hosts as the entire cast come together for the first time since they were dropped into the remote wilds of Western Tasmania.
