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.

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?
