@@Rob.Parsons Hi Rob . Love the channel . Thought this might be of interest . 2023 Missing person Savage River area. www.missingpersons.gov.au/search/tas/celine-aline-cremer
I love how Rob makes something that would sound so boring to anyone not in this field sound so interesting, it just leaves me wanting to know more random history things.
Great video Rob…. Tasmanian tourist board, should employ you! Tasmania looks absolutely stunning!!! The history is fascinating! Keep up the great work!
I really enjoy your videos Rob. My descendants came to Tasmania from Denmark in the 1880’s, so I have an affinity with Tassie,and love your historical exploits.
Yet another awesome video production, amazing amount of research and planning. You should have your own series on TV. Hands down you (and Levi) are my favourite channels and i would love to visit Tasmania one day. Cheers, Drew
I always appreciate your videos. Your keen interest in history is nearly insatiable. Keep digging and sharing for all of us far, FAR away. As always, love from Texas.
What an awesome adventure. Thank you. I am mining surveyor and cartographer, like Hellyer. I can just feel his excitement when discovering this incredible resource. I hope this is preserved and not just exploited for little gain.
Tasmania the best place on earth. Visited it 8 times from here in the UK.Thankyou you again Rob for a wonderful video.Excellently researched. Reminds me of many adventures exploring this unique island.
02:08 I haven't seen that map before. My place is just to the East of The Surrey Hills, on the Leven River, centring between Burnie (Emu Bay) and Cradle Mountain, North side of the Black Bluff. A place called Loongana, property called Loth Lorian. Absolutely magic country. 98% old-growth forest.
An ace adventure, Rob, in finding that particular slate outcrop of Kirkup's. The long tail of the tale of the slate may still be in the garden of the late wife, and whoever the children breaking it may have been, whether that correspondence had the right yard address, and whether the house still has over a hundred years of rockery still there, may still lead to it, or other interesting incidentals, you never know. In looking for particulars for the one thing, discovering a mass of new information is always great, as you have with the VDL Co archive. We've an interest for the association that settled Port Phillip District, who were originally called the Geelong & Dutigalla Association, from Tasmania. I think organised in 1829 or earlier, as by 1835 they found down Anderson's River on Westernport Bay, the herd of cattle left had grown in number considerably. Be safe and well, looking forward to more surprising and fascinating history and scenery, thanks Rob!
Prior to university, the only time Tasmania ever came up in class was in reference to Devils or Bugs Bunny. I'm so glad that someone like yourself is now fleshing out the details of what is a fascinating location. Thank You.
Thank you, Rob. Another Excellent adventure. It is fantastic to tag along with you on these trips with such Wonderful Photography. It's almost as good as being there with you. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Hey there Rob, love your history adventures that you Indulge us in. It so really great just listening to your walk,the crackling as you go along. Just like the scrapping of the hook under water in your sniping adventures. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks Rob. This has all the right touches to be a series like you did a little while ago on the Jane river looking for a grave sight or a particular rock that was used for a campsite during a storm. I know you love a good adventure and am pretty sure this won't be the last we hear of this piece of slate.
Well done Rob. Really enjoy your storytelling. Your history facts really impress me as I love that sort of thing. What an interesting story. And I got goosebumps as you said that the person would have been there a hundred years ago. All the best. Hope the family's well and the cottage is coming along well
Awesome work, Rob. Your history videos are so well put together and often leave us wanting more! I personally love the Arthur River. So wild and untamed!
Oh my lord he’s off to locate the cascade and the other deposit. I love this sh… 😂 I’ve said it before mate but these historical hunts you do are bloody awesome. Keen for the follow up!
Awesome stuff. The amount of research you do is a credit to your channel. I never knew the Hellyer was once called the Don. Love the plot twist at the end.
I love all this history. I know where there is an abandoned sawmill settlement near Tolmie in Victoria. Can still see footings of the buildings. But I don't think it dates back any further than the 50's or 60's. Cheers mate love the videos. 👍🐕🤠
Very enjoyable walk and talk. I really like learning the history of our bush settlers. Hope your research turns out to be correct and one day you find the slate. Keep up the good work.
As always a great video. Really enjoy how you film and narrate and bring the watcher to your perspective of climbing and even having a bite to eat. Cheers!
Very entrancing video, Rob - I think you could be onto a special mission here. Helleyer's a bit of a hero, really, and I was wondering, when I was reading his Observations, whether you'd be interested in retracing some of his steps? What he and his road gang and explorers endured those couple years when he was looking for routes from Port Sorell to Cape Grim for VDL really was quite remarkable. If it were possible to do it at the same time would be quite something! Some of the weather they endured was on a par with what we've just been through - trees falling all around them, running out of supplies and trying to live off flour & water then Hope. I did wonder if there was anything edible, had they known. There was also bushrangers to contend with... I wonder if the slab remains - or any of the trees he inscribed with dates & info. Safe travels and thanks for sharing.
Rob , I love history and thoroughly enjoy your video's . You do such a great job explaining everything . Thank you so much from the states !!! Stay safe young man !!!❤
Quite intriguing story there. Surprising that slate would have held light scoring that long, even sheltered under an overhang. Hoping for more research and a continuation of the story. Have a feeling there's more to come.
I loved this story & especially the curious questioning twist at the end. It made me laugh outloud! Your productions and music selections are always improving. Thank you so much for this one! ❤
Hopefully, its still out there for you to find. I also make historical videos in the Blue Mountains NSW. My next adventure is to find the elusive Gwennies Grotto. It has been lost in time and Im hoping to rediscover it next weekend.
20:58 Yep, there's Black Bluff Mountain directly in the middle of your frame shot on that map, just to the right of where the green line touches the red line, and direct S-E of St Valentines Rock Road (not totally sure it says that)
excellent vid bro no doubt they passed through that area you and i have spent many a day enjoying but there is other slate deposits around and within the scope of routes they may have traversed ,more to search yet mate cheers
Just for context of the value of slate. I live in a village in the English lake district founded on lead and slate ,all the slate on the empire state building came from here it is and was the main material for roofing in the UK and much of Europe so the idea of slate roofs would have extended into the new world. I could drone on forever about slate but i will leave it at this , I am for the next few weeks working on a slate roof on a house that was built in 1693 and that's not particularly old here .

Keep up the great work!
Many years ago my husband found a huge slate deposit off junction road near the Arthur with two primitive huts with rock fire places
Beautifully done. You sir, among your many talents, are a historical researcher, an excellent writer, and a great narrator. I'm impressed.
Nice one Rob! We will always love learning more about this beautiful part of the world!
It was great scenery and very interesting. Love the effort you put into the research to find these hidden gems. Thanks for taking us along, Rob.
I really enjoy your videos Rob. My descendants came to Tasmania from Denmark in the 1880’s, so I have an affinity with Tassie,and love your historical exploits.
I loved the childlike excitement that came out in, “Thats gotta be it there! That wall!”. It’s wonderful seeing people so happy

You’re awesome for sharing these things with us. Always keeping you in prayer for very successful gold sniping, and history uncovering.
Dude, you kept my attention for 20 minutes! Well Done! Subscribed. Tasmania is beautiful.
Prior to university, the only time Tasmania ever came up in class was in reference to Devils or Bugs Bunny. I'm so glad that someone like yourself is now fleshing out the details of what is a fascinating location. Thank You.
Another fascinating historical adventure, thanks for taking us along Rob!
Awesome history Rob thanks for sharing man. Another great adventure

The mystery continues and will one day come to be known, thanks to you and people like you. There is always a story to be told.
I appreciate your drive for history. Some good stuff out there. Not many have the guts to find it.

Thanks Rob love the adventure, the story and the wonderful wilderness area you have taken us , keep connecting to country 🤗😊
Wonderful adventure Rob. Loved it as usual
Trove is awesome! I've solved a few little mysteries through a combination of Trove and Find a Grave!
Great video ! A wonderful historical accounting of the history of your beautiful homeland .
Awesome stuff. The amount of research you do is a credit to your channel. I never knew the Hellyer was once called the Don. Love the plot twist at the end.
Love your research and footwork “Rob Parsons for Tasmania”. Well done.
While you were up in the hills of the Arthur I was camped at the mouth, nice bit of weather. Incredible slate deposit, very intriguing story.
I love all this history. I know where there is an abandoned sawmill settlement near Tolmie in Victoria. Can still see footings of the buildings. But I don't think it dates back any further than the 50's or 60's. Cheers mate love the videos. 👍🐕🤠
It was a nice thing you did by leaving that sign there for others to see. In memory of him
Good one Rob.

Keep them coming mate 👍

If you found that slate after 200 years it'd be amazing Rob. Best wishes to you and family.
I love your videos on the history of Tazmania, I'm from the US and no one here cares anymore...it's sad.
Thank you Rob, a nice watch after getting off shift at 1 am. Interesting.
Quite intriguing story there. Surprising that slate would have held light scoring that long, even sheltered under an overhang. Hoping for more research and a continuation of the story. Have a feeling there's more to come.
Thankyou Rob, A very interesting video
John Kirkup is my Great grandfather

Thank you 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
20:58 Yep, there's Black Bluff Mountain directly in the middle of your frame shot on that map, just to the right of where the green line touches the red line, and direct S-E of St Valentines Rock Road (not totally sure it says that)

LOVE YOUR VIDS Keep IT UP MAN
Somehow I don’t think this is the last time we hear about this slate from Rob 😊
Time will tell, you know me, I never give up too easy.
