Who Is Corinne Ooms from Alone Australia Season 3? What Happened

Spoiler note: this covers how her Alone Australia season 3 run ended.

Corinne Ooms is one of the strongest foraging-first performers the Alone franchise has produced. She was 38 during Alone Australia season 3, filmed in the West Coast Range of lutruwita/Tasmania, and she finished third at 70 days, ending her run voluntarily rather than through injury or evacuation.

Her hometown is listed as Hobart, Tasmania, so she was, in a real sense, surviving in her own backyard. Full details are on her contestant page.

Background and how her run ended

Ooms is a food safety consultant and foraging specialist who had already built and run a bushfood business before the show. That background shows in how the data describes her time in camp: her foraging skill was consistently her strongest asset, even as she wrestled with the harder emotional side of the show, including the weight of taking animal life for food.

She chose to tap out on day 70, describing the decision as voluntary: she felt her journey was complete and wanted to go home to pursue starting a family. She reportedly marked the moment by playing a guitar she had built from materials in camp, a detail that fits the deliberate, craft-minded way she approached the whole experience.

Season	Alone Australia season 3 (West Coast Range, Tasmania)
Age at filming	38
Hometown	Hobart, Tasmania
Placement	3rd
Days lasted	70
Reason for exit	Voluntary, journey felt complete

Her 70-day run made her the longest-lasting woman in any season of Alone Australia at the time, a stat that comes up often in discussions of the show's Australian seasons.

Life after the show

As of mid-2026, Ooms has reportedly sold her bushfood business, using the proceeds to pay off her home and move toward the off-grid lifestyle she has described wanting since before the show. She has continued speaking publicly about foraging in Tasmania, including in tourism and podcast features, and her father is credited with teaching her foraging, fishing, and an appreciation for wild food from an early age. She has described her time cooking foraged ingredients on the show as a process of ongoing trial and error, and has said she is still discovering new things about what is edible in that landscape and how to prepare it safely, which fits her professional background as a food safety consultant. Some reporting from later in 2025 also referenced a pregnancy, which would track with the family-focused reason she gave for tapping out in the first place, though that detail is more personal and less consistently confirmed across sources.

Why her run stands out

Ooms is a good case study in a contestant who left with something still in the tank rather than being forced out. A voluntary tap-out at day 70, in third place, with a stated goal already met, is a different kind of ending than most of the medical evacuations and injury exits that dominate this show's data.
