Ten Australian survivalists will be dropped in the remote wilds of Western Tasmania/ lutruwita, completely isolated from the world and each other, stripped of modern possessions, contact and comforts, to self-document their experience - the last one standing winning $250,000.
Alone Australia is a ground-breaking documentary series coming exclusively to SBS and SBS On Demand soon. Today, SBS has revealed the 10 brave survivalists to take part in the first ever Australian version of the global hit series. Challenged by the merciless forces of nature, hunger, and perhaps the toughest challenge of all: loneliness, who will survive the longest?
L-R: Michael, Duane, Gina, Peter, Jimmy, Chris, Kate, Beck, Rob & Mike
SBS
Alone Australia is not your average survival series. There are no camera crews, no gimmicks, and no help from the production team. The 10 must do their best to survive and self-document their respective adventures in total isolation, relying completely on themselves for food, water, shelter, and warmth, to stay alive using nothing but what's in their pack and what the habitat around them provides.
With zero information about the other participants, and no knowledge of how many still remain, participants will push themselves for as long as they can. Only when they reach their absolute personal or physical limits will they tap out', one by one, until only one survivalist remains. It is the ultimate test of human will.
Alone is a worldwide sensation with series in the US, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The series has been an extraordinary hit with Australian audiences on SBS, becoming the most successful factual franchise in the history of SBS On Demand with more than 10 million hours consumed.
Beck, 42
School Teacher, VIC
First Look at Beck here
Beck is a secondary school Science and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) teacher and grandmother. She's the matriarch of her small family; her partner, four children, two grandchildren and a plethora of farm animals.
An earthmother, Beck grew up with camping and fishing playing a constant role in her life and leisure activities. She feels more at home in the outdoors than anywhere else, and she consciously steers her time in favour of being out bush and throwing out a rod as often as possible.
She's excited to embrace this opportunity to represent women in their 40s and First Nations women of the LGBTQI+ community and, most importantly, to be an inspiration to her children and grandchildren.
I'm resourceful, I'm a problem solver, I'm bloody stubborn, but I'm not a survival expert. I've grown up camping and fishing and been out on Country, I've learned from my Elders and friends who are great outdoors people though I've never been away from my partner; I'm ready to test myself!
Chris, 39
Army Veteran, TAS
First Look at Chris here
Chris lives a self-sufficient coastal lifestyle alone with best friend Billy, his loyal Jack Russell, his extensive vegetable plot and his chooks.
A retired war veteran of Iraq living with PTSD, Chris finds being alone with nature, on the coast and away from the lights and sounds of the city incredibly restorative. An avid fisherman, abalone and crayfish free diver, a self-sustaining beach, ocean and spear fisherman, Chris started creating and sharing content around his fishing escapades as a way to connect with people going through similar trauma after service.
His goal is to push himself to his limits, and in doing so, to demonstrate to others like him that anxiety disorders do not have to define or inhibit activity and that submerging oneself in nature can be a powerful and effective healer.
Whether it's diving in the ocean, camping, or exploring the land, all I know is that a life lived outside in the elements is where we as humans belong. It's the only way for healthy minds. That's where I live.
Duane, 35
Wildlife & Environmental Officer, NSW
First Look at Duane here
Duane is a fun-loving Wildlife and Environmental Officer and keen recreational surfer. His career has spanned from the military to the Fire Service, and now to the land, where he traps animals for research.
A proud First Nations man and a gushy father of two, Duane is constantly seeking a deeper connection to Country and sees Alone as the perfect opportunity to live as his Ancestors did and to bring his family closer to their heritage.
He has a profound appreciation and awe for how his Ancestors thrived on Country for thousands of years, and he hopes to be guided by their footsteps through this experience.
I know my Ancestors were out there for thousands of years, but they had family and clans. This is a whole new way of being on Country, just me by myself, so I'm looking forward to that challenge within this experience!
Gina, 52
Rewilding Facilitator, NSW
First Look at Gina here
Rewilding facilitator, bushcraft teacher, meditation leader, barefoot nomad, singer, dancer, and primitive huntress for this multidisciplinary creative, the bush is where Gina feels most at home.
Living off grid in a tin shack with no running water or power, Gina oscillates between the quiet of her secluded coastal property homelife and a very loud and colourful work life, running large group rewilding courses and camps for adults and children.
After navigating her way back through serious trauma and loss in her life, Gina doesn't scare easily; any fears she has about testing herself are very practical ones.
I've spent my whole life learning how to be in the wild and be a part of nature rather than apart from nature. A challenge like this, to go out into the wild, full survival, is something I've dreamed about since I was a kid I can't think of anything I
