Yes, our family's heritage is from the Mole Creek - Western Creek area. Dad was Charlie Lee, a bushman and bullockie almost a hundred years ago. Then a west coaster at Mount Lyall before buying the farm at South Mole Creek. On mum's side were the Youds who were trappers mainly in the upper Mersey area. These videos gives us a desire to somehow create something based on our heritage. Even when Rob is walking through the bush, it brings back my memories of traipsing on the Western Tiers and Mersey Valley - especially the smells....
Rob, thank you sincerely for sharing this adventure. I live vicariously through your adventures. You take me and your followers on ‘Indiana Jones’ type adventures into by gone days. To share your journeys is an adventure. Expeditions like yours are unparalleled and your cinematography, editing, framing and voice overs are superb. Again, Thank You.
Thank you so much Rob for sharing this historic trip. How amazing to see nature restore itself from the onslaught of human civilisation. I was amazed to see a fifty year old tree not even higher than your elbow. Now that is patient growth. ❤Rose
Thanks for another great video Rob and history lesson, more power to you and Levi for what you are doing. Your videos should go into the national library for the future generations to see, when what we are seeing now, has faded. Cheers.
I know you were rushed for time but when finding old tracks it can be beneficial to do it at night. Moonlight can let you see how the trees have aged and grown differently in a line. Hard to explain but amazing to experience.
Another great tour of the unknown areas of Tasmania, along with interesting history. I thought I might share it with Tassie national parks, but it would be lost on them. Keep up the great work Rob.
Thank you, very interesting Rob, I am a 72 year old Kiwi sitting here in NZ having my morning coffee..After watching you walking through the bush I wished I had my strong legs back. Keep up the good work young man....Barry NZ.
Great video Rob. I love the old history of what old fellas went through. Your videos really capture the mystery of it all. Well done mate on the effort you put into this.
Honestly, this has to be the best channel on the Tube (for the likes of me, anyway). Rob, the good you do, for this island and its folk, is, well, Flanaganesque.
Rob I live in Newcastle. When I was still at school we had a family holiday to Tasmania but we stuck to the tourist areas. I am remembering back about sixty years. I can't thank you enough for the work you put into taking us along on your journeys. Your efforts are very much appreciated and your productions are wonderful. Thank you for your work.
Another awesome episode mate. Not sure if it is possible but I would love to see an episode of you exploring the old overgrown streets of Savage River.
Great expedition again Rob. Love the history and your efforts in finding these out of the way locations the early pioneers called their home and work. 5 stars.
Rob, you are one amazing human who represents life, freedom, knowledge, love and peace. Thank you brother for you and the videos you produce inspiring us all to a better life🙏
Another great adventure mate. Nothing quite like standing before trees whose history is counted in millennia. BTW I reckon the mini Pandani were either Richea dracophlla (same genus) or Dracophyllum milliganii. Bit hard to tell apart (for non-biologists anyway) until they’re older and flower.
Thanks for another great video of our history. I love how much effort you put it to the research and all your efforts to get to these places. Thanks Rob, cheers Ben
Your films are always such a pleasure to watch. You always walk away having learnt something about the history of Tasmania. So many people not only get enjoyment but also education from your content. Thanks for doing what you do ❤
Hi Rob I've been watching your adventures for some time. All fantastic viewing, I believe that broken bottle that you picked up is a neatly baby feeder bottle. Great work hope to see more adventures.
Absolutely Spectacular! Rob Parsons is the new Tassie David Attenborough when it comes to documentaries! Keep them coming, young man. Your work is impressive as all heck. Best wishes from this Welshman. ~~ Ray
Hi Rob, That curved Nestle bottle you found at the top of the chute may have been a double ended baby's bottle. Way out of context though but that's what it looks like. I've got one here at home. Cheers, Ken B. Victoria.
Great interesting video once again Rob. I can almost smell the fresh air and looking forward to my flight to Tassie in under a month and leave the hot humidity of Queensland for a few weeks.
Many thanks for another fascinating video. 👍👏👏👏 I’d love to see one on how you do the research prior to heading out. I suspect there’s a few of your viewers that have their own ‘rabbit holes’ they would like to chase down but don’t know how to start or the resources available. 🤔😀
Great video Rob - yet again!! My bush bashing days are over but I re-imagine my old experiences through yours - though your trips are much more adventurous!! Keep on going Rob the Tasmanian
Watching you walk that track took me back to the early fifties when as a young bloke on the west coast we used to bush bash to our camp site at an old sawmill in the mountains. When you passed that Waratah tree it reminded me of my youth. A very nostalgic moment for me. Take care friend and stay safe out there. Oh to hear the sounds of the black jay once again. 😊😊😊😊
Unreal Rob! Great production. The government should be paying you to make this stuff not trying to shut you down. Hope you get a contract with the discovery channel or National geographic then it can be promoted around the world. Would love to see that.
Another great video Rob, those old timers were a tuff breed. Thanks for taking the time to research and for taking us along on your adventures. I'm glad your issue with Parks hasn't put you off sharing these great adventures. Unfortunately most of my trips to Tassie has been for work with a bit of time for a fish, watching these videos has given me inspiration and a kick in the bum to plan a trip to Tassie and start exploring especially thanks for the tip stay away from Parks managed areas and stick to areas manage by Forestry. Cheers Andrew & Jess
Thanks for making and sharing this video Rob. Coming at you from the deepest darkest part of the Brittany countryside in northwestern France here. Your endeavours have inspired me to explore and see what is hidden in the woods behind our very old Breton cottage set off the beaten track here.
When I first arrived in Tasmania in 1974 there were a lot of old Trappers huts out in the bush,great place to find when a blizzard hits without warning,but the story goes The Greens removed a lot,shame,those old shacks saved lives,Lee's Hut saved ours.
I love these exploratory vids. Thanks Rob. It's good to see the forest has recovered so well but I'm so saddened by the thought of all those ancient trees being felled.
Thanks for another great adventure in your beautiful part of the world. So interesting to see the history preserved there in the deep rainforest regions.
im Tasmanian, my family is from mole creek, these videos are great, im always watching people do this in other countries, thanks for showing me home

Great to have you back with your wonderful educational walks brother... Just a shame those old boys removed so many of those big old pines.... ✊🏽
Another fantastic video. Tassie certainly has a lot of history, thank you for sharing. Great commentary also.

Amazing Rob living vicariously through your travels!
No Hollywood props, the real thing and I am grateful for it.
Thanks for showing a side of your country few people would ever see. Fascinating.
Great vid. Some little critter at about 27:20 running off to the left
Your films are always such a pleasure to watch. You always walk away having learnt something about the history of Tasmania. So many people not only get enjoyment but also education from your content. Thanks for doing what you do ❤
Brilliant work Rob, what amazing history!
Great adventure. What a hard life for those loggers. Thank you sir!
Hi Rob I've been watching your adventures for some time. All fantastic viewing, I believe that broken bottle that you picked up is a neatly baby feeder bottle. Great work hope to see more adventures.
Yes…a baby’s bottle.
You had perfect weather for the whole trip.
Love these vids Rob. The Tasmanian landscape is pretty mystical to me. Awesome to see how some people made a living lifetimes before us.
What a brilliant video. Thanks for taking us on your epic adventure.
Great video Rob. I have just visited Strachan and can appreciate your efforts.
Absolutely Spectacular! Rob Parsons is the new Tassie David Attenborough when it comes to documentaries! Keep them coming, young man. Your work is impressive as all heck. Best wishes from this Welshman. ~~ Ray
Thanks for documenting what remains, your passion for Tassie history is a source of delight.
That was and Is Awesome thanks Rob for sharing two for two ya found them both. Great adventure brother and well done! What amazing scenery ❤
You've got a hell of a knack, to find the coolest of stuff. Really admire your perseverance, in taking us to places few would explore.

Many thanks for another fascinating video. 👍👏👏👏
I’d love to see one on how you do the research prior to heading out. I suspect there’s a few of your viewers that have their own ‘rabbit holes’ they would like to chase down but don’t know how to start or the resources available. 🤔😀
This is a fantastic project . I would say it’s equal to the trip to the Moon..! Thank you..!

It's a long time since I heard them called black jay!
@@ugthump2753 they have a call that once heard is never forgotten. As sweet as the bush it lives in. Pure cata-caw, cata-caw. Cheers.
Amazing video! So fantastic to be able to do that type of thing and not worry about large predators. Beautiful country!
Another awesome vid rob, I enjoy learning about the history here from you 👍🏻
Beautiful Rob, just beautiful.
High quality you tube channel. Fantastic insight into the history of Tasmania and your film work is superb! Keep up the good work.
