After many US seasons, the shocking docuseries makes landfall in an inhospitable part of Tasmania, midwinter. While there's no bears here, there's plenty of scares halfway to the South Pole.
Daher says our survival community is different from the one featured in the American seasons of Alone, which includes a fair share of hippies as well as macho ex-military men.
Oh and they also have to lug 70 kilograms of camera equipment around so that we, at home, can be privy to all their suffering.While US seasons have seen participants navigate the harsh terrains of remote Canada, Mongolia and Patagonia, the Australian series is set in west coast Tasmania/lutruwita. There are no bears in Tasmania, but Daher points out: "We still have quite dangerous animals out there; everything's just a bit smaller in Australia."
The cast includes Māori planning and environmental manager Rob, Wiradjuri grandmother and schoolteacher Beck, and wildlife and environmental officer Duane, whose family roots are in Murrurundi on Wanaruah Country .ListenDuane told ABC RN's Awaye!: "From the very get-go, they've done really well with the cultural awareness around the Country we're on."
Palawa teachers were part of the crew from the outset, and remained with the show until post- production.
