Who Won Alone Australia Season 2? Krzysztof Wojtkowski's Win, Explained

2026-06-26

Spoiler note: this covers who won Alone Australia season 2.

Krzysztof Wojtkowski won season 2 of Alone Australia, surviving 64 days in Fiordland on New Zealand's South Island to take the $250,000 AUD prize. A 39-year-old aquaculturalist from Ferny Creek, Victoria, he outlasted nine other contestants over the show's 10-episode run, per our season 2 page.

How the win happened

Wojtkowski didn't get a dramatic finish where he watched a rival tap out in front of him. Like the season 1 winner before him, his win came down to a routine medical check. On day 64, producers determined he could no longer safely continue the run, and it was at that same check that they told him he'd outlasted everyone else in the cast, including runner-up Suzan Muir at 63 days and third-place finisher Andreas Lundin at 57. His partner Erin, who had traveled to New Zealand for the moment, delivered the news to him in person at his camp.

What stands out about his run is what he didn't do. Wojtkowski survived without eating meat for the entire 64 days, a genuinely unusual approach on a show where most winners lean hard on fishing or trapping for calories. He leaned instead on strong crafting skills, careful shelter and fire management, and mental resilience to grind out a season-long deficit rather than chasing a single big food source. It's the kind of win that doesn't produce a highlight-reel kill but does produce the longest run in the cast.

One detail that surprises new viewers: despite the "Australia" branding and an all-Australian cast, season 2 wasn't filmed in Australia at all. It was shot in Fiordland on New Zealand's South Island, a location swap confirmed by SBS's own coverage. If you're trying to keep the franchise's filming locations straight across seasons, this is one of the more commonly missed distinctions.

Key gear

Wojtkowski's confirmed 10-item loadout was built for steady, methodical survival rather than one dominant tool. It included an axe and saw for shelter and fuel, a bow and arrows plus a fishing kit for food, snare wire, a ferro rod, a cooking pot, rations, paracord, and a Leatherman Rebar multitool, the one item on his list with a confirmed brand and model. That multitool came up repeatedly in his season as a workhorse for smaller camp tasks, freeing up his axe and saw for the bigger jobs. Unlike some winners whose gear lists carry disputed items, his full kit is sourced from a single reputable source rather than cross-verified by a second, so we're noting that as medium rather than high confidence on the specific items, even though the win itself is confirmed across multiple independent outlets.

Notice how tight the top three are here compared to most seasons: only seven days separate first and third place, a much closer finish than the franchise usually produces.
