Kicking things off, we\u2019re going to talk about the first season of the Australian version of the show. In this season, there were 17 Australian celebrities who took on the grueling challenges of intense SAS-style training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they arrived at base camp, they faced freezing temperatures and limited supplies as their training began. You probably saw them struggling in these frigid temperatures and thought to yourself: \u201cWhere is \u2018SAS Australia\u2019 filmed?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this first season, the show\u2019s contestants lived in the town of Berridale in the New South Wales region of Australia, at the base of the Snowy Mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an article on My Travel Leader<\/a> about the show, it\u2019s close to the popular tourist town of Jindabyne. \u201cThe climate in Jindabyne, where temperatures rarely reach double digits in winter when filming took place, was the perfect location to add another element to the challenge. With no access to hot water or flushing toilets, and minimal bedding during -5\u00b0C overnight temperatures, contestant Ali Oetjen said the wind chill that typically fans snowfall for ski-lovers caused \u2018physical pain\u2019 for the recruits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the vein of genuine military training, contestants sleep on cots and use the same kind of supplies and gear the SAS does. This vacation spot<\/a> was certainly not a leisurely time for the contestants, who had to deal with below-freezing temperatures for the entire trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season two: celebrity edition (2021)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second season of the acclaimed show brought another group of celebrities to another frigid location to test their mettle. Some of you were probably watching this second season and wondering for another time: \u201cWhere is \u2018SAS Australia\u2019 filmed?\u201d This time around, production was in a new location in New South Wales<\/a>, at the base of the Blue Mountains about 50 km away from Sydney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an article in the Daily Mail<\/a>, this terrain was not quite as rough and frigid as the Snowy Mountains. \u201cIn the Blue Mountains, the average temperature is about 16 degrees in winter, with the lowest chance of snow occurring in early to mid-May – right when filming is set to begin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for the specific spot for this \u201cundisclosed location\u201d where they filmed second celebrity season? Then this article from Australian Cycle Tours<\/a> has the answers. \u201cCapertee Valley sits by the Blue Mountains in NSW. You can escape the big city lights of Sydney and reach the Capertee Valley in about 2 hours drive. Unlike the thrilling TV show, it’s actually an incredibly relaxing region that most tourists don’t know about. Capertee Valley is also home to the world’s widest and longest enclosed valley – 1km wider than the Grand Canyon!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it. The second season gave the contestants a bit of a break in terms of the chilly temperatures when they took them to the Capertee Valley and Blue Mountains. However, that didn\u2019t stop them from dealing with the intense SAS training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
