Five participants are women, achieving gender balance for the first time, while Victorian bushman Muzza, at 63, is the oldest contestant in the Australian series.
What can contestants take?
Ranging from sleeping bags and cookware to hunting gear, everyone must try to anticipate their needs and foresee their challenges.
How alone are the cast?
Competitor Ceilidh, a disability services officer from Queensland, says her experience of being born Deaf has forced her to learn how to overcome feelings of loneliness due to inaccessibility in daily life.
How long do people last?
The previous two seasons of Alone Australia were respectively won by Gina Chick, who lasted 67 days, and Krzysztof Wojtkowski, who lasted 64 days.
But before Alone hit Australia, the original franchise garnered global recognition in the United States (11 seasons) and has inspired several international versions, in Denmark (eight seasons), Germany (one season), Netherlands (one season), United Kingdom (one season), Norway (one season), Sweden (one season) and Finland (coming later this year).
