Your doing great content Rob and taking us pathetic old buggers to places we would have no hope of getting to. There is kind of a magical beauty the way nature reclaims the landscape that had some much hard work put into it by humans. Cheers man 👍
What a phenomenal amount of work, the old timers put in, to create those channels. It must have been a sight to see, when it was in full swing. 😮 The fact that the channels are still in existence, is testament to the quality of construction.
Thanks guys for the little adventure. Tell you what, we really don’t have a concept of how hard the old prospectors worked and lived. We are so soft these days.
Such a magical adventure. Thanks for taking us on this very interesting journey into another remarkable slice of Tasmanian rainforest. Those miners must have been so tough. As usual Rob your cinematography was top notch and I especially loved the aerial shots of the forests shrouded in mist. GREAT WORK 💕
👍🏼 Outstanding Adventure. Beautiful Country,,which I will only see on YT videos. Thanks to Levi✌🏼 I can watch Both Your channels from 9,000 miles away.
I was born in Australia. Never been to Tasmania! But the more I see on the old temped rain forests! I have fallen in love and can only wish to get down there an do these’s sort’s of adventure’s on my own or with some one .! An keep on doing it !
The narrow channels remind me of hydraulic sluicing operations in NSW. They used to take water many miles from upstream to get enough water pressure to wash away the spoil, then stack the rocks along the sides of the cut. I don’t know if they used it in tassie. Small trunks of trees indicates it was pretty denuded in the past.
Good on Yu Rob, I notice RUclips promoting you!!! new subscriber here mate. I love Tassi, and we have a mutual friend in Toren K (Tassi T) 👍🏻 Cheers from Spike WA
Great doco, have seen your videos and are hooked, thankyou for these. I have lived in Tassie all my life and watching you I learn and see so much, once again thankyou..
Wow once again you have shown Tasmania’s magic. It’s incredible to go into the Bush where our ancestors roamed to strike a living from the minerals of the land. 👍
Another great adventure it's very similar to what I see up in the subtropical rainforest's around coffs harbour. It's amazing what the old timers did. I have been lucky enough to detect some of their old gold and silver coins in areas like that even some of their nuggets and specimens. I think that you may be surprised what a couple of detectors might turn up in an area like that under a couple of inches of leaf litter. Thanks for the adventure.
Hey Rob, really like all your videos. I’m stuck at home looking after a newborn and have been unable to prospect or explore so your videos have been great. Keep it up 👍
@@Rob.Parsons he's a brilliant man full of knowledge! Winston was the reason I fell in love with our history and he guided me on my first trip to places not many have been by giving me the missing pieces to my puzzle... I used to stalk his Facebook profile for his stories, I absolutely love his stories in their written form and his photographs that span decades... a friend of mine used to take his coffee orders where she worked and told him I had been reading all his stories and he reached out to me, had many a conversation, I could talk with him for hours!
What an amazing spot Rob reminds me of a place I know in the Yarra Valley on the Yarra River the gold miners back in the day dug 2 tunnels through the hills to divert the river to access the gold they also made trenches through the bush to run water down to wash the gold through sluices I found one once in the dark taking a short cut out of the river to get back to my car, actually I fell into the bloody thing it was about 6 feet deep you have to be really careful walking in the bush around my area at night there are a lot of old gold diggings.
Fascinating Rob & Levi, thank you - didn't find any Osmiridium or meybe the Old Timers did their job too well. Very pretty, as Levi said, would look lovely in a garden. I know winter's rough, but could be in NSW... Keep safe - & well.
@@Rob.Parsons Ha ha! But nice to see how beautifully preserved it is. I like how our industrial past can actually end up being really attractive now (bit like Cornwall, with the tin mines.) Thanks for letting us see this secret world.
Really interesting workings there, most the stuff i've seen in the US have been huge piles of gravel tailings, or big hand stacked walls on the edges of creeks/gullies. I'm curious why their workings seem to be those narrow ditches criss crossing through the flats. Awesome vid man, thanks for bringin us along
@@officialtassieboysprospecting I like that idea too!! Maybe Winston could take you blokes somewhere and you can all re live the rich Tasmanian history... 😁 tell him I say yes please I would love to see you three off on an adventure!
@@officialtassieboysprospecting @Tassie Boys Prospecting he gave me the missing pieces to my godkin puzzle, that place had me in awe! Been there? I absolutely love the place, the hidden treasures, the interesting story of how an unsuccessful mine became "successful" and its demise. Stones throw from where you were out here really...
Thanks, Rob,&Levi for another great vid of the Tasmanian wilderness this time more on the West Coast I think you said? Keep em coming Rob...;..Pete from Devonport...:>)
Beaut vid men 👌. I love the rock walls 🥰. There’s rock walls that form parts of an old race in my nearby stomping ground. I’ll message you some photos if I can find where I stored them. That island with the water running around it - 😲. Cheers for posting up 🤙
Just finished reading "On The Ossie" by Nic Haygarth, so your adventure was very timely. Thanks for taking me along and showing the country they worked.
Sorry meant , happened onto it watching another show ( will remain nameless ) but he seems to have gone a little bit too Insta (product names in heaps of shots) so thank you for the hard yards & keeping it real
Well done boys. That looked like an awesome place to explore. A lot of back breaking labor went into building those canals. Just for the jungle to reclaim it. Best of luck Rob. Do you ever come across Aboriginal stone tools while exploring?
good spot down there hey bro plenty to see , all the true efforts the ol boys put in are everywhere truly a stunning secret place great vid curly hope ya well cheers
just as well i had recovered from our last trip Rob. this one was easy. no ambulance needed for me this time. What a lot of work was undertaken there, they had to be getting high prices. They seem to have stripped it bare. great undertaking indeed. Levi looked well.
I know right, they only just let me out of rehab after they found out what I did walking from Lake st Claire. Luckily no damage was done so the party rolls on. Packing my bag for the west coast this weekend!
Great video again Rob, full of information and as I had never heard of Osmiridium I researched a little and see that it was used for pen nibs and ammo etc. Thanks for taking us on an exciting journey once again.
Awesome, those river diversions were unbelievable, the mind boggles thinking of the effort needed to construct them. Another great vid Rob...Do you have a link for Winston Nichols? Cheers
Your doing great content Rob and taking us pathetic old buggers to places we would have no hope of getting to. There is kind of a magical beauty the way nature reclaims the landscape that had some much hard work put into it by humans. Cheers man 👍
I’m from the West Coast of the South Island .. it seems very similar to Tasmania.. the country looks beautiful… I’m going to visit there for sure👍
Now for your next quest...finding McGintys' two lost jars of Osmiridium!!!
Sweet hike,really amazing how much quality work the old timers did

Thanks guys for the little adventure.
Tell you what, we really don’t have a concept of how hard the old prospectors worked and lived.
We are so soft these days.
Yeah aint that the truth. Same with hiking in the bush with all our lightweight gear.
Levi "Look sole of someone’s old boot 🤢” Rob "oh nice 😋 “ 😂😂 good day out.
Was great to share another brilliant day in the wilderness with you lad
Oh to be fit and young again, thanks for taking us along .
Glad you enjoyed it
Tasmania, one of the best place i have seen. Love this island 😘

My Pleasure it was a fun day out. I'm happy I could share it.
Wow once again you have shown Tasmania’s magic. It’s incredible to go into the Bush where our ancestors roamed to strike a living from the minerals of the land. 👍

Thankyou for your video.

Yeah da boys these adventures are cool as we gt a few bout here in nz also
So good. Amazing all the diversions and the "landscaping" still there.
Thanks Rob, those Old Timers certainly had the knack.
not wrong!

So good! Looking forward to the Winston, Rob, and Levi adventure together!
I like that idea ✌🏼

Amazing 👏 nice work
Thanks a lot 😊
Beaut vid men 👌.
I love the rock walls 🥰.
There’s rock walls that form parts of an old race in my nearby stomping ground. I’ll message you some photos if I can find where I stored them.

look forward to it, thanks!
@@Rob.Parsonsfinally got round to messaging you them photos 😂
Awesome.
Thanks Colin!
@@Rob.Parsons I was having withdrawal symptoms from not seeing any of your amazing adventures. Thanks. Good luck finding a thylacine.
That was amazing to watch! Every time I watch your videos I learn so so much.
Happy to hear that thank you Krissy!
Just finished reading "On The Ossie" by Nic Haygarth, so your adventure was very timely.
Thanks for taking me along and showing the country they worked.
Thats a great book Nic does a fantastic job
Nice video, really enjoyed it.
Thanks homie
Nice.
Another great video Rob. I hadn't heard of this settlement before, great to see what remains.
Hell yeah dude cheers, check it out one time!
Sorry meant , happened onto it watching another show ( will remain nameless ) but he seems to have gone a little bit too Insta (product names in heaps of shots) so thank you for the hard yards & keeping it real
Thanks dale I will try to keep up the work
Thanks
you da man!
Well done boys. That looked like an awesome place to explore. A lot of back breaking labor went into building those canals. Just for the jungle to reclaim it. Best of luck Rob. Do you ever come across Aboriginal stone tools while exploring?
good spot down there hey bro plenty to see , all the true efforts the ol boys put in are everywhere truly a stunning secret place great vid curly hope ya well cheers
Never cease to amaze me how hard those old bastards worked, but they got good metal out of it no doubt.
I would have loved to do the exploring you blokes are doing when I was younger, but milking the cows was more important.
The amount of work they did in rough conditions is hard to fathom

Absolutely! ruclips.net/channel/UC7eUTwnVkHTaXY0GwnppnHg
Amazing as always 🙌
Thanks Laura! :-)
Another fab video Rob.
Cheers Terry
The quality of the rock walls is excellent, they really built things to last back then!
I reckon they will outlive the pyramids! hehe
Awesome!
Thanks!
A cool bit of history in the wilderness. Surprised you both didn’t wet a pan to see if there was any yellow in it
Bloody water's too cold to try
You great vids cheers boys
Glad you like them!
Cool spot. Is it all heritage listed or you just didnt want to do a pan?
Love how you research the history of where you are going, instead of just wandering around like an old billy goat.
Thanks Gnome well I love bringing whatever story I can to relevance, I try anyway!
This should be good! Hope you guys are super-well? Cheers!
Not too bad, getting through the winter!
Here where I'm at in the states it looks just like that....and we are Central California, strange....🤔
Oh wow really? I have a viewer from America? 👀
Recently discovered your channel, absolutely love it, but maybe get a dencent camera lol
Oh what is wrong with the old GoPro haha
@@Rob.Parsons it's alright, not to good in dark, low light lol
But you have also inspired me to get off my ass and explore tassie
Thanks man.... one of the coolest aussie history vids i've seen. Like Coment and subscribe everyone.
Thanks Benny!
