    Alone Australia’s new season is ‘the polar opposite’ of what we’ve seen before

    For its fourth season, SBS’s survival reality contest Alone Australia went to the ends of the earth in search of a fresh challenge – and not just metaphorically speaking.

    “I would say this is quite literally the polar opposite of anything we’ve done before,” says executive producer Riima Daher of the show’s relocation to the Arctic Circle. “So many familiar features of the survival game are still there, so much of the psychological game is still there. But we basically flipped it on its head to take southern-hemisphere survivors up to the northern hemisphere to see what happens.”

    WA survivalist Jasper Harvey heads to Finland for season four of SBS’s hit show Alone Australia

    When Jasper Harvey, a 24 year-old permaculture practitioner and educator from WA’s South West, decided to apply for the latest season of the hit reality series Alone Australia, he had no idea just how far from home he’d end up.

    This year, SBS transplanted 10 brave survivalists — Harvey amongst them — to the wild and spectacularly beautiful area of Sapmi in Finland.

    It’s a spectacular place. A place where bears, wolves and reindeer roam freely; where the northern lights shine across frozen subzero wilderness.

    It’s also a heck of a long way from Margaret River. And for Harvey, who had never seen snow or ice before — let alone had to live in it for weeks at a time — the Arctic Circle was quite the adjustment.

    The Illawarra is a pretty diverse place when it comes to the environment.

    From the beaches to the escarpment and everything in between, you can find a lot of different experiences, but you will struggle to find anything resembling northern Finland.

    But that's exactly where Illawarra-raised Alyce Nehme found herself as part of the new season of Alone Australia.

    "I am very excited to watch the season go to air, and I'm still pinching myself to be honest that this is actually something I got to go on," she said.

    It’s shaping up as a decent season for skiers and snowboarders, with a number of Australia’s most popular alpine areas getting an early coat of snow.

    A cold front has moved across south-eastern parts of the nation, where ski resorts have capitalised on the overnight snowfall.

    Chilly temperatures were rife through Victoria, Tasmania, southern New South Wales, ACT and parts of South Australia.

    “All of these spots will have somewhere between about 2C and 8C below average”, the Bureau of Meteorology’s Angus Hines said.

    Victorians have woken to snow this morning as a cold blast brings below-zero temperatures to the state's alpine peaks.

    At Mt Baw Baw in the state's east, 15 centimetres of snow fell overnight, turning the village white.

    The early snowfall has given hope to resort managers just a month out from the ski season opening on the June long weekend.

    "The ground getting cold is exactly what we needed leading into the King's birthday," Ms Brook said.

    Snow falls on coldest day of the year in Melbourne

    Low-level snow has fallen Victoria’s coldest day of the year so far, as a cold front sweeps across south-eastern Australia.

    The Bureau of Meteorology said at least several centimetres of snow had blanketed all Victorian alpine resorts, and that snow had fallen in parts of the state with elevations of 600 metres.

    The plunging temperatures have been brought on by a blast of cold winds from the Southern Ocean, which collided with a cloud bank over south-eastern Australia and caused rain. In elevated parts of Victoria where there is enough cool air close to the ground, the rain fell as snow.

    Polar blast and snow to follow record May heat over south-east Australia

    Temperatures on Friday shattered May records in several south-eastern states. (Supplied: Insta Ray)

    Just weeks from winter, and south-east Australia is still basking in summertime warmth.

    Temperatures on Friday soared more than 10 degrees Celsius above average from northern South Australia to southern Tasmania, shattering May records in several states.

    But after weeks of stagnant weather, volatility is about to return. 

    A cool, gusty and stormy change will follow the heat during the coming days, followed by an intense wave of polar air midweek which has the potential to bring a wintry mix of showers, thunderstorms, hail and snow.

    The current spell of unseasonable warmth is due to a stalled region of high pressure in the Tasman Sea.
