    You walk amongst the greatest of men.
    A great man is not measured by wealth or power but by how he helps others achieve great thing's through the pain of his own body. Many would never see these wonderful places, but through you're own pain, you bring these great places to the homes of many people.

    Tasmania is beautiful and I had only seen snippets of its wilderness until you showed the World its incredible sights.
    Every moment of your adventure brought more and more of its treasure to light.
    You took a journey that many of us can only dream of but you captured it all on video and brought us one step closer.
    Thank you.

    Hi Rob, l have only now been introduced to you and your video trips via my good friends in south Tassy. I live in Central Victoria on a 56 acre registered Sanctuary. I purchased this land to give back, protect and expand the extraordinary ammount of endemic flora and fauna on this connected corridor.
    I purchased Olegus book during the Gordon below Franklin protests when visiting Tasmania to assist ground zero protests . I was 21. Ever since l have been in love with Tasmanias wilderness experiencing rivers, landscapes and beaches as l am a part time Aboriginal anthropologist. Your shared experiences are inspirational and l thank you very much for the detail and time allowed in your videos to simply absorb at length mother nature at her natural and rare best.

The Swan pine is such a majestic tree and even after a few visits down that way I have yet to be privileged enough to gaze upon them as u did here. Thanks for the inspiration I need to get my ass down their

    It brought back some old memories.
    We live in a topsy turvy world that this masterpiece only gets 25k views
    Three things really stand out
    That you could get such quality footage in that difficult country.
    That you could bushwhack in from the Gordon lake through that terrain.
    That you managed it alone.
    Class act
    Some great research to back it all up as well
