Speaker 2 (00:03):
Imagine being stripped of modern possessions of comfort, contact with
other people and dropped in the remote worlds of western Tasmania,
completely isolated from the world. Our next guest is one
of the brave or crazy people who are doing this
on a new series Alone. Australia Alone is an extraordinary series,
(00:23):
and I've watched them filming various ones overseas. The things
that these people go through are extraordinary. Now, this contestant
is a wildlife biologist with a military career with the
Australian Navy. She got a PhD, which has made her
doctor Kate Kate.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Hello, Gety, how are you great?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I like saying doctor Kate, though, Kate, this.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Is an extraordinary series, Kate, because it's not like Bear Grylls.
Everyone makes jokes that he's climbing a mountain but the
camera crew had to climb above him and Urine Well
and everyone else's because you're your own camera crew, you
set up your own cameras and you are actually alone,
aren't you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Absolutely Yeah, it's a pretty crazy series.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The ones I've seen overseas. A lot of the people
who do well in this are people that a little
bit crazy that live off the grid. You don't seem
to be that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, I mean, you've got to be a little bit
crazy to do something like this. But you know, I
guess maybe I'm hopefully people can see me and you know,
see a little bit of themselves in that and think, yeah,
maybe I could do that.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, the ones I've seen, there's a woman in the
episode I saw that well. I think she was in
northern Canada and it was frozen and everyone's trying to
catch squirrels and rabbits and tiny bits of lichen to eat.
She found a porcupine or a wolverine, cut it open,
and half of its innards were poisoned, and she was
at desperate states had to work out which of the
(01:47):
poisoned things she could risk eating. What kinds of people
who have to cut holes in the snow and the
ice to fish? What were the hardships that you had
in Tasmania.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Look, you know, the name of the series gives it
away alone where pack animals and you know, there's only
so long you can see out there on your own.
You know, if you're you have a lot of people.
And I found that very hard. I knew it, always
knew it was going to be hard. It's incredible. But
(02:22):
also I'd say that, like you know, when in our
lives we get that moment to step outside of it.
It's turn off the phone notification, stop going to work
and sit there and ponder your life and and income
and I'm living the way I want to live my life,
and that that is incredibly powerful.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it'd be amazing where you've set up, you're
by yourself, and you've got to set up all the
cameras around you and then just film yourself doing stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And also the stuff you have to film yourself doing
is killing killing animals to eat them. I mean, what
did you eat?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, yeah, that's a really good question. And I think,
you know, I guess super strategy is different. I'm certainly aliphiologists,
and I think going into this, I said to myself,
I'm not going to be in a rush to kill
our native animalism. So that certainly made my strategy, I
guess a little bit more difficult. But yeah, yeah, looks,
(03:15):
you know, obviously they had to be careful. We've got
a lot of beautiful threatened specters in Australia to make
sure we were, you know, doing any damage the environment,
so there certainly were restrictions. So I think this series
will actually be a very difficult series, even though there's
no polar bears and round bears coming to Edith in
the night. Simply food procurement is quite difficult in the
(03:39):
western Tasmania.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Imagine if you came across a Thila scene and they're extinct,
and then you were starving to death. You were so hungry, Kate,
and then this Thila scene came along and it was
looking a little bit weak, and you that, you know
what I could It's turning to a giant steak, and
you think, and I could eat that.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No one's going to know, and you know you're in
the free up the road.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The discovery of a Thila scene would be enough of
like to know shame and fortune, I think to Warrant
not seating him.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Well, you're going to give us great entertainment seven point
thirty to night on SBS and SBS on demand. I
spent some time in the Tasmanian wilderness of Cradle Mountain.
But they've got a great track and you just walk
around the track. It's really easy. So you should have
looked for that, Kate.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah to Sala markets.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, go to Salamca Markets and buy one of those
little doily things. They're always good. Doctor Kate, thank you
for joining us.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Thank you,
