Alone Australia Winners: The Complete List

2026-07-05

Spoiler note: this post names every Alone Australia winner and their final day count.

Alone Australia has crowned three champions so far, with a fourth season announced but not yet aired. I keep the placement and days-lasted figures for each in our season guides, so here is the complete Australian winners list in one place, pulled straight from the normalized season data.

The winners so far

Season Winner Days Location Prize
Season 1 Gina Chick 67 South West Tasmania $250,000 AUD
Season 2 Krzysztof Wojtkowski 64 Fiordland, New Zealand $250,000 AUD
Season 3 Shay Williamson 76 West Coast Range, Tasmania $250,000 AUD

Season 4 has been announced and, according to the season record, is set in Sápmi, inside the Arctic Circle in Finland, the first Alone Australia season filmed outside the Southern Hemisphere. It has no winner yet, so it stays off this list until it airs and finishes.

A closer look at each champion

Gina Chick won the first Australian season in the Tasmanian wilderness, lasting 67 days to take the inaugural $250,000 AUD. Her run set the baseline for what the local version rewards: patience, foraging, and staying medically clearable rather than chasing big game. For where she has taken that platform since, see our update on Gina Chick.

Krzysztof Wojtkowski took season 2 at 64 days, the shortest of the three winning runs. That season carries a geographic quirk worth flagging: despite the Australian branding, it was filmed in Fiordland on New Zealand's South Island, not in Australia at all. It remains the only Alone Australia season shot across the Tasman Sea.

Shay Williamson posted the longest Australian winning run to date, 76 days, to take season 3, back in Tasmania on the West Coast Range. Two of the three seasons so far have been decided in Tasmania, which has become the show's default proving ground, before season 4 breaks that pattern by moving to Finland.

One thing the winners list does not tell you on its own: each of these champions outlasted a full field of ten contestants dropped at the same time, so a 76-day win means being the last of ten still standing, not simply reaching a target. That is the same last-person-standing logic the flagship US show uses for most of its seasons, which makes the Australian and US day counts directly comparable in a way the fixed-cap spin-offs are not.

How the Australian prize compares

Every Australian season has carried the same $250,000 AUD prize, half the US show's standard $500,000 figure even before you convert currencies. The day counts, though, sit right in the same band as the flagship show's typical winners. Gina Chick's 67, Wojtkowski's 64, and Williamson's 76 would all look at home among the US champions.

Version Standard prize Winning-run range so far
Alone Australia $250,000 AUD 64 to 76 days
Alone US (most seasons) $500,000 USD mid-50s to high-80s days

The gap is in the money, not the difficulty. If anything, the Australian and New Zealand environments have produced tight, foraging-driven finishes rather than short ones. I go deeper on how the two versions stack up in our US-versus-Australia comparison.
