    If it's still out there it would never be discovered by an expedition IMO. When the BBC did "Lost land of the Tiger" in Bhutan to discover if tigers lived above 3000 m as it was suspected but never proven, they couldn't find proof with people. What DID work, at the very tail end of the expedition, were trail/hunting cameras, positioned around trees, on posts near rivers etc... well away from camp.They put a lot of them, and collected them at the end. They saw tigers evolving in snow, bears, snow leopards, etc... Stuff they hadn't seen at all with their cameras, while exploring on foot or waiting in camouflaged tents. Expeditions should revolve around trail cams : the plan should be to have like a hundred cams with you, and pepper them all across the landscape near water spots, caves, game trails etc... and leaving them on for like two weeks to a month before collecting them. If you did that all over the Tassie South West and still didn't find anything, then it's pretty safe to assume thylacines are 100% extinct. I've been to Tasmania three times, twice in the south west, and although there are definitely wild spots, it isn't a huge island. I want to believe but there is nothing that really indicates they're still around, the testimonies are so thin...

      100 cameras is a lot of work for one person alone you need a team of at least several people for that kind of task. And then drop points on maps where the trail cams were left. Tasmania may not be big compared to the bigger Australian mainland or other larger countries but it's still no slouch in size and it's still pretty untamed.

I hope you can make more expeditions out there in the future. Also, I just wanted to note the way you shot and edited this was incredible. I especially love the music you used; the whole thing was very beautiful and relaxing.

    Incredible! A shocking treat to see this type of content uploaded to RUclips. After spending a Year living in Tasmania, I've grown more and more convinced that there'd have to be some more Thylacine out there. The state, and especially the South West & Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Parks are certaintly some of the most remote places in Australia, yet wildly population with natural fauna and flora, untouched by man. After summiting the popular Frenchmans Cap in early November, I can truly say that looking to the south uptop on the peak, these national parks are empty for truly as far as the eye could see.
    Really, good on you for putting in the effort to go out and film this journey of yours! This gives us hope that these marvellous creatures are still out there.

      I've lived here my whole life, it is highly unlikely that they still exist, in order for a species to survive you require a large enough population and it is ridiculous to at this point assume a some population has survived...
      However, if they were anywhere, there are several relatively large areas that humans have never been in Tasmania...

  • @HAL-vu8ef

    There are so many people in Tassie that go trout fishing, hiking and fossicking in remote areas, I think one of them would come across one eventually. I had a nice experience fishing high up on the Weld River (in the southwest) it was about 7am and I was wading and trout fishing and decided to change a lure in a fast part of the river so I leaned on a rock midstream to protect me from the strong current, I was there about 5 mins hardly moving trying to tie a stubborn knot when a movement on the bank caught my eye. I glanced across and a pretty big spotted quoll was searching the waters edge only about 5 metres away. Because of the roar of the water and me being hidden behind the rock he couldn’t detect me but he kept on stopping and sniffing the air and looked mildly concerned. He knew something wasn’t right, I watched him hunting for about a minute before he decided to head off upstream.
    I love fishing in Tassie, saw 3 Platypus just on Friday in the Leven and Wilmot Rivers. But my most startling experience was standing on the narrow customer platform at Flippers fish and chip boat in Hobart and a Broardnose shark swam underneath my feet as I was ordering flake and chips, scared the hell out of me.

    What an amazing adventure Rob and Levi had. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and I like Rob believe that there would be thylacines that have survived in such places as this. Although I am also inclined to believe that their survival instincts would have developed enough for them to totally evade human presence because any survivors would have learned humans cannot be trusted at all. In a way I am a little relieved there’s no hard evidence of their survival to date as once that occurs their world will be changed forever no matter how many good intentions humans would have for them in the future.

      @ Ike I saw one too back in 2013.
      We lived in metropolitan Adelaide at the time. I had just woken up from an afternoon nap around 14:55 and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking out of the large floor to ceiling window directly in front of me. Suddenly a large gingery creature with a long thin tail trotted into the garden from the left hand side of the window. I thought it was a cat at first until I realised it was too big. My brain scrambled through various ideas such as: was it a fox - well no it didn’t have a brush, was it a dog - no, not with those stripes and weird boxy jaw which appeared to hang very slightly open.
      I watched it trot over to the right of the window then it turned towards it’s left to negotiate it’s way around a large palm type bush in the garden. I was scrambling madly for my iPad on the bedside table to try to take a photo but it had moved out of sight before I could get to the camera app. I rushed out of the bedroom telling my husband what I’d just seen and running into the front room which was on the other side of the house. My husband ran for his camera but it was too late the animal had gone.
      That night on the tv at work there was a report that some people in the Adelaide Hills had seen a Tassie Tiger and someone had tried to film it as it passed through their garden. The footage was too shaky and blurred to distinguish anything.
      The really funny thing was that a friend of ours from the UK visited shortly after. He and his mum had spent a week or so in Tasmania before coming to see us in Adelaide.
      As we sat chatting I told him about my tiger sighting. His response was “oh, so that’s what that was”. He explained that whilst in TAS he and his mum had hired a car to get about. One night they were driving home after a meal in town and something ran across the road in front of the car. They saw it only briefly in the headlights but were puzzled as to what it was. He said it looked reddish-brown in the light and they thought for a moment it might be a cat but it was too big.
      Unfortunately, I don’t know where in TAS this happened and my husband is no longer friends with this guy.
      Long story short, l believe your sighting even if the trolls don’t.

    Eek leeches 😳 the little suckers….
    Beautiful scenery 💚 Rob. Keep hunting, I believe I’ve seen a Tassie tiger, we were deep in bush up north & one crossed our path, straight back & thick straight tail & stripes on its back, it was quick but definitely tiger…. 🖤🤎🖤

    That was terrific Rob. BEST YET! Such a professional and interesting attempt to find the elusive Tassie tiger and I think you’ll do it next time! Your reasoning for its possible location is very plausible and it’s probably just a waiting game. EXCELLENT photography as usual and loved the footage of that really healthy devil. A wonderful journey to experience on a lazy Christmas night. Thanks again Rob ❤

    Really enjoyed that Rob. Reminded me of my adventures up the Gordon and in the Southwest conservation area.
    I definitely think it's a good area to be searching for the Tigers, I personally always wanted to do the Wonderers River.
    Love Tasmania and wish that I'd spent more time there, or even stayed.
    All the best mate and well done 👍🇵🇱🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    You're an unending stack of ideas for future Tassie adventures Rob. Never ashamed to say I'm following in your footsteps. This Spero via Birch's Inlet looks good, and opens up options for the Wanderer and Mainwaring Rivers as well without resorting to the expensive helicopter drop in and pick up. I'll let you know if I spot a Tiger or three in there.

    hearing about tasmanian tigers I immediately imagined you would be heading towards the Spero... such a nice trip! at last I get to see it after following its course on the map... Tassie is such a wonderful place, and in many ways so similar to home! greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia, Chile

    Merry Christmas Mr.Parsons✌🏼hello to Levi too👍🏼I'm gonna add to this comment as I watch👁Nice soundtrack for sure, fits perfectly. Did You sample gold pan any?Any Documentation of a Hurricane?Tornado?,possibly knocked over evidence during storm swell? What about when the high tide comes in? Looked like " spirit of" Spider web floating in front of camera. Awe yes,,the Gummie's snack,,No such thing as a "Worthless" experiment,perhaps just a lack of useful evidence,,I was thinking perhaps using a baiting soundtrack of sheep or some animal distress call( like we use for coyote hunt)They should Still Be There👍🏼You did find a lot of cool artifacts, so it wasnt a fruitless adventure plus that Hiking stick is a nice Souvenir. Have a Great New Years Holiday You Guys✌🏼 Sure hope a Cleanup Party can be formed and further expeditions into the Great Tasmanian Wilderness. Peace Brothers🙏🏼

    A couple of years back, I am sure there was one on the side of the road near Bunyip Victoria. I had my high beams on and it was stationary and I was driving slow, so I had a very clear view. Was not large, had the stripes and distinctive tail and hind legs. I am sure there are some still out there.

    Rob ,don't get me wrong , but I am glad you and Levy did not find any traces of the Tiger. Just think what would happen , the area would be locked up ,the Gov. would come in and catch the last reminding tiger for breeding purposes. Keep looking and if you ever come across one , or something related to the tiger, then do your own investigation , record everything ,sound and videos and when the time comes then you can make it public. In the mean time ,don't stop showing us your videos , they are tops , cheers

    Rob, thank you so much for such an incredible doco into the Wild West coast of Tasmania, mate. Both you and Levi have gone the extra mile to give us viewers an insight into some absolutely stunning untouched country, thank you. I as well as you really feel that, that type of country side could possibly hold real evidence of the possible extinct? Thylacine? You both gave it a good shot, but a little bit more time might have proven some evidence of this once wild ace predictor.
    Thanks again Rob for sharing your adventures with us and hopefully one day evidence will be found?
    Merry Christmas to you both and all the best for the New Year.

    I feel like they could possibly still exist in the Southwest. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for & adapt to changes. Lots of people say there would be roadkill if they existed, but that begs the question - What about the places where there are no roads? It’s hard to say with confidence and without any evidence that they exist. I’ve watched both of your videos about this trip now & i thoroughly enjoyed the amount of detail you packed into the beginning of this. What an epic place to spend a bit over a week! I cannot wait to see that part of Tassie for myself. You’ve got yourself a sub 👍🏿

    Watching your adventures always generates questions by this viewer, so its not unrealistic that I would search wikipedia about devils, since that is what you found. "thylacines and devils maintained a complex relationship, the thylacines preyed on the devils, the devils scavenged from thylacine kills and the devils ate thylacine young". Seems to me if you are in an area inhabited by devils there might not be thylacine present. Great filming waiting for the next one! Cheers.
