Survivor : The Austrian Outback

42 days, 16 contestants, 1 survivor

Love this season. After 5-6 seasons of a predictable, loveable punk producer Jeff Probst nice to watch show and NOT know what Jeff is going to say next. He even admits he is "green" during the audio commentary.

 "Come on In Guys", "I'll go tally the votes", "If anyone has the hidden...
"Wanna know what you're playing for?"  "got nothing for you"

 it is nice to see Jeff getting his sea legs here and in youtube video from Survivor Borneo.

Survivor : The Austrian Outback

Google Earth image of location of Survivor Camps. My Survivor Australia Maps.

Watched the first two to three episodes of Austria on DVD in 2005

May 4, 2005 1:01am watched the "Stranded" episode at home in bedroom. Kucha Kimmi has my attention.

Filming dates October 26, 2000 to December 6, 2000 (Maybe maybe not)

October 23, 2000 – December 3, 2000 (wikipedia)

Good point - October 23rd is a Monday - They seem to start shows on Monday (please see Survivor Redemption Island call sheets).

Trying to figure out witch filming dates are correct -

During the audio commentary of episode 211, "Let's Make a Deal" ,Tina says on Day 29,  It is Thanksgiving. The producers showed Turkeys during the original broadcast. Day 29, if the 4th Thursday of November, the 23rd. That makes day 1 - October 26 and Day 42 - December 6.

Dates in U.S. October 22 to December 2, 2000

Original run January 28, 2001 – May 3, 2001

Where did Jerri and Colby have their "honeymoon or not"?

Russell Island

Episode 1 -- Their Monday October 23, 2000 Our Sunday October 22, 2000

Girringun National Park - known in 2000 as Lumholtz National Park

My estimate of where the Survivor episodes were filmed.

This may not be correct.

Episode 1 - The Landing Strip

Where plane cn199 a

DH-C4 of the Royal Australian Air Force dropped off the Survivor contestants, October 23, 2000.

"The Great Barrier Reef Visit"

During filming of an aerial shot of Colby, Jeri and the boat pilot heading to the reward the camera crew on the boat can be seen laying down in the boat. some partially covered with blankets or coats.

Ogakor Camp

 18°14'15.69"S 145°20'36.79"E

Certain of this location based on map given to Ogakor tribe on first day. As seen on DVD. Look at distinctive bend in Herbert River and the sand bar marked on map.

Based on my pushpins camps are 2.02 miles apart. Or 3.24 kilometers as the kangaroo bounces.

Some people have a different location of Kucha camp - downstream

Goshen Station

Goshen Station is a property in Queensland Australia that "owns" or has rights to the section of the Herbert River where Survivor Australian Outback was filmed.

Tim the Yowie Man discovered the locations of Survivor 2. He may have dropped chocolates from a helicopter to the contestants below.

Grazing Homestead Perpetual Lease

R&M Blannerhassett Mount Garnet QLD 4872

"A crew of 250 lived on the privately owned Goshen Station for three months. There were producers, camera operators, caterers, carpenters, a masseuse and a barber, all living in this small town they virtually built in the middle of nowhere. The contestants had two camera crews with them around the clock, using infra-red film at night.

Goshen Station is a 28,500ha cattle station and has been owned by the Blenner family for four years. Some big changes were made for Survivor — a loop road was build around Goshen and a "Tribal Council" set was built at the top of Herbert River Falls about 400m from the contestants' camp. The base camp had tented accommodation plus a huge bar and recreation area. All that's left now is the road, the bar and the campsite at Kucha, with no evidence of any of the other additions. "

According to him, after numerous attempts, the plane was finally able to land and drop the Survivors off at Princess Hills near the edge of Lumholtz National Park

I wonder if the plane landed at Princess Hill. They got their supplies and were than trucked to another location to begin their day long trek. Princess Hills is well over 8 miles walking from the camps.

He's Carrots, She's peas. Proposed on Day 35.

Nice to watch Survivor from 10 years ago. History! Stuff that happened 3700 days ago.

Same for visiting Keith Famie's web site.

I love him so much. Really.

Just neat to see calendar of his appearances that ends in 2003. Times of his Food Network show, November 2001 and another show 2002.

No active store for this vendor.

Wow! That is Elisabeth Filarski Hasselback -  Wow! Did not know.

Audio commentary recorded for Australian Outback DVD during the airing of the season of Vanuatu (September 16 to December 12, 2004)

Jeff likes that some contestants, like Kentucky Joe don't feel the need to connect with him. Not that he dosen't like Joe. Just that when it is over its over.

Jeff loves memory of seeing show first time since aired 3 1/2 years earlier.

Jerri has and issue with Jeff over All-stars.

Jeff's look is an issue with him. "patheticness"
