Who Is Suzan Muir from Alone Australia Season 2? What Happened

Spoiler note: this covers how Suzan Muir's season 2 run ended.

Suzan Muir is a wilderness adventure guide from Cavendish, Victoria, and she came into Alone Australia season 2 as one of the more experienced outdoorspeople in a ten-person cast. Per her contestant page, she was 54 at the time of filming and leaned heavily on foraging rather than hunting or fishing to get through the season, which fits a guide whose day job is reading a landscape for what it can safely provide.

Her run in Fiordland

Muir lasted 63 days on New Zealand's South Island, in the Fiordland location the show used for season 2, finishing second behind eventual winner Krzysztof Wojtkowski, who lasted 64 days per our contestant page on him. That one-day gap between first and second place is about as close as this show gets. At the reunion, it came out that Muir had been dealing with heart issues during the back stretch of her run, something she had not flagged on camera at the time, and she had also spoken about missing her home and family as the isolation wore on.

Detail	Suzan Muir, season 2
Placement	2nd of 10
Days lasted	63
Location	Fiordland, New Zealand's South Island
Reason for ending run	Heart issues, revealed at the reunion
Approach	Heavy reliance on foraging

Her gear list from that season was not part of the fully sourced set on this site, so we are not going to guess at specific items beyond what is confirmed: her strategy was foraging-forward rather than built around trapping or fishing.

Muir's finish stands out even more when you look at how the rest of that cast fared. Third-place finisher Andreas Lundin lasted 57 days but pulled himself out after losing 30 percent of his starting body weight, and fifth-place Rick J. Petersen left at day 38 citing missed family, both well short of Muir's 63. Only Wojtkowski went longer, and he did so without tapping out at all. That places Muir's run among the strongest in Alone Australia's history to date, medically compromised or not.

Life since the show

As of mid-2026, Muir's public presence centers on Grampians Nature Programs, a wilderness tourism business she runs with her husband Jon out of their property near the Grampians National Park in Victoria. The pair has reportedly been running customized wilderness experiences and guided tours for more than two decades, well before her season 2 run, and they also offer accommodation on the property. Muir has talked about her ongoing interest in regenerative agriculture and permaculture, which lines up with the foraging-heavy strategy she used in Fiordland.

Her near-miss finish, a single day behind the winner after more than two months alone, is one of the tighter margins in the show's history, and the reunion revelation about her heart issue adds real weight to how close that second-place finish actually was.
