The Galahs won, earning immunity. Fleur and John then won immunity after winning an immunity "playoff" round.

Members from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'. If they win them, they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them, for camp luxuries. Kiosk Kev will ask them a question. Two options are given, and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Kev will close the shack, and the celebrities will leave empty handed.

  The celebrities got the question correct

• ^Note 9: Luxury items included Emily's hairbrush, Harry's chair, Noel's beard dye and Rita's eye mask.
