Well Rob, now your name will be recorded in history books as the man who verified and correctly identified Christmas Rock and it's undeniable location in 2023. Congratulations for a job well done. 🎄

Not an adeventurer, not a prospector, not an author or story teller... but ALL of the above in two words! Absolutely awesome!

I am certain you are holding history right there in your hands. What an unbelievable find. Parks should be paying you to do this. There is no way the average person would ever get to see this. Merry Xmas Rob.

Excellent video and story Rob. Thankyou for sharing with the world. It would be a wonderful addition if you laid a stainless steel plaque stating the name of the place, the dates and people you quoted and please add your name and the date too. Maybe Parks will sponsor your efforts.. 🙄 God bless you Rob and your family.

Us not so mobile Tasmanians owe you a great debt for taking us places we can only dream of. You make a lovely family.

Robbie, your production values are over the top! I think you are a legit film maker who enjoys a bit of sniping here and there!

100%, you are a national treasure Mr Rob Parsons... Thankyou so much for all you do.... 🙏👍🧑‍🎄 . From a greatful 🇦🇺.

Being from the UK, I feel that I now know more than ever what Tasmania is like, I know there are towns and cities, the countryside is what I enjoy being in, the feeling of freedom, Rob is so passionate with everything why would anyone want to stop his story telling of history of your fantastic country, its promotional, now retired and worked with a lot of clowns, if its not there suggestion it wrong, if they think your doing a better job than them your name will be put down and any slight mistake will be blown out of all proportion (Parks and Wildlife) That's life as they say. Please never give in to idiots just find a better way, if you can improve the system for others, you've done your job. All the Best for Christmas and the new year, positive thoughts for next year

Alot of inbreeding down there.

Thank you Rob for another amazing adventure. Showing us how to respect and value our heritage and environment. I sincerely hope parks and wildlife support you.

What a awesome discovery Rob, you deserve much praise for your hard work. Parks and wildlife should be thanking you big time. I thoroughly enjoyed your video as always, thanks Rob 👍.

Merry Christmas Rob and family! What you and Levi have done has opened the eyes of people all over the world to your beautiful country. The Parks and Wildlife can stick it where the sun don’t shine. Beautiful places belong to us all not to the petty Lincoln pushers that will never do a worth while thing in their life. Keep on doing what you do!

pencil pushers not Lincoln.

Thanks again Rob for sharing this adventure with us. It’s greatly appreciated. Your research and use of modern technology with Lidar is amazing. I get to see and experience the elements of your adventures. It’s amazing that you can pick out a hut site in that dense country. You are also right about the care of the area by Aboriginal peoples. Vote Rob Parsons 1 for Tasmania!

Congratulations Rob. That’s a great achievement. As an old west coaster, your travels through the bush takes me back to my youth. 83 now so my bushwalking days are long gone but watching you is heart warming. Merry Xmas to you and your family and may the new year bring many more happy times both at home and out with the jays.😊 Regards Dave.

Glad you put the stoneware ginger beer bottle back.This shows a real responsibility to history.Great journey Rob.

Awesome video as usual, Rob. Your appreciation for what you do is palpable. I truly hope you and P&W come to some sort of agreement. It is inconceivable that this type of video wouldn't get people inspired and excited ahout history, being out in nature and discovering new things. Seasons greetings and best wishes for 2024 mate.

Awesome Rob, you must feel so proud of your achievement. Doing your own work investigating the true location of Christmas Rock, well done.

Thank you Rob. I appreciate the insightful look at the Australian bush. Your adventures are admirable and they give the viewer an awesome feeling, appreciation and respect for the Australian outback. You're a legend, a true blue Aussie mate. All the best to you and your family in 2024. Cheers

Excellent video! You go where 999 out of 1000 don’t , won’t, or can’t go. What a way to showcase you beautiful country. Having worked with Federal agencies in the USA for most of my life everything you say they are doing to you rings true. Love all of your content for many reasons. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your son.

The amount of research you do and all the things you take into account are amazing. So happy for you finding Christmas Rock. Another great video.

A double banger - two finds in one film, congratulations Rob. So bloody interesting this stuff. Merry Christmas to the Parsons family 👨‍👩‍👦🎄🎉

Thanks so much Rob, that was awesome. Wish I was 30 years younger. Keep up the great work, you are the best ambassador Parks and Wildlife could have, they’re fools.

One to re-write the papers and maps that are out there Rob, whilst documenting the colonial history of Tasmania and having it free for everyone to watch.

Always a pleasure to watch your films Rob. And thank you too 👍

Awesome job my friend! Glad you were finally able to set the record straight. Your dedication and determination is on another level! You are a bushwhacking beast! Please don’t ever stop

Brilliant. Frenchman's has been on the list for years, two small kids... I'll get there in the coming decade and look forward to seeing it for real. In the meantime your adventure just makes me want to visit more. Thanks Rob, be sure to send Parks a bill for marketing such a wonderful place.

I'm going to teach my grandchildren all about the great modern explorer "Rob Parsons" is what I am going to do! Thank you for your sheer determination and guts. Love your work. Sod the "authorities". All respect to you and congratulations to you and your wife. ❤

Almost unbelievable , To challenge that sort of bush takes a special bread . My hat off to you Rob . You are a winner 👍

Seasons Greetings Rob to you, Erin & Scout from the Guy in Queensland who gifted you the set of HWC Tramps & LWC Skylines recently. Greatly enjoyed your scrub bashing trip and glad of your success in finally finding Christmas Rock. The late Leo Luckman would be proud of you . Hang in there with all the Crap PWS are dishing out and keep doing what we all enjoy watching.😁

That was fantastic Rob what a find a great landmark slap bang in the middle of nowhere thanks for taking us along with you and may you and your Family have a very Merry Christmas and a safe ,happy and prosperous New Year.

Absolute banger of a video, I absolutely love you're filming, editing and music choices. This looks amazing, please keep these up. Rob. And let us know when you're going to partner back up with Levi and go on another adventure with them. I absolutely love it when you guys partner up.

A National hero.

G'day Rob. I pray the little man is half the fine gentleman you are. Surely another asset to society. Love the above quality cinematic productions you create. Bringing the beauty of Tasmania to my living room is a treasure for me. Thank you Sir. 🎉🥳 Happy New Year to you, your family, friend and viewers 🎉🥳

Fabulous film making Rob. I've learnt so much about Tasmania and it's amazing topography and nature from watching your adventures; not to mention the history which is fascinating. I'm an outdoorsy person but that brushwood must be a nightmare at times 😂 Have a great Christmas all of you 🥰 Well done from Somerset England 🇬🇧

Here's hoping future charts will be updated to show correct lat / lon locations. Great job Rob ^5 !

On ya Rob. I hope your discovery gives you some gravitas and authority in your battles with the powers to be. Perhaps you could charge them for the location of your historic find.

Absolutely stunning .. With passion comes amazing quality. And that's what these videos are. Awesome stuff once again rob.

WOW that was a AWESOME video, ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. i've said it once, and i'll say it again... YOU SIR are a BLOODY LEGEND 😊 I love you attitude to you know who, keep up the GREAT WORK. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 THANKYOU for all the trouble you go to, throughout the year and the Great video's 👍 Cheers Rob and Shelly

A true modern explorer and archaeologist. Thanks for all your amazing efforts. Shame on Tassie Parks!!! ❤

Epic man. Glad to see you back up in the Frenchmans area. Stuff Parks Tas, what you're doing is way more important than any petty vendetta they might be holding. Re: cramps. I get the same. Consider this another vote for Magnesium, it's helped me heaps. Also, not sure how much you sweat when hiking, but if you do sweat a fair bit, electrolytes will help heaps. Can get sachets to carry on the trail real cheap, I actually dont leave home for a hike without them. Merry Christmas mate!

I have it on good authority and it works for me that antacid tablets are a good preventative measure for avoiding cramps. It's the Calcium that does the trick. I down a couple of chewables after each walk and haven't suffered one since.

Merry Christmas mate,thanks again for the amazing entertainment.🙏

How did I miss this upload 2 months ago. As an Aussie I appreciate everything you do and teach us about our history. P&W should be ashamed IMHO. 💜 from W🇦🇺

In South Africa, we don't have the online tools you have, I loved this research and vid. Almost nothing is online for research in South Africa. I had to use books to find certain routes of the old settlers in my area outside Durban. It is invigorating when your research ends up providing the goods. LOVED THAT MAN!

Thanks for your incredible videos Rob. I was born and raised in Tassie, but I never got to see as much of our incredible state as I wanted to. Your videos have inspired me to start bushwalking, and to appreciate how rich Tassies history is. You have been an incredibke inspiration to my own journey in re-discovering Tassies history for myself, and I have acually decided to try to make the history of our precious state into a career. Thanks so much from all the people you inspire everyday, and thanks for helping me find my passion.

Great stuff Rob. Thanks for not letting Parks stop you from sharing with the rest of us. Great also to see you using a hammock. I’ve often watched your videos (and Levi’s) and wondered why you didn’t use a hammock. I used one on a 7 day trip in Wyoming last year and I’ve slept in it at home ever since - even sold my bed 🤣 keep up the great work. You’re creating a legacy for Scout Your cramps may be due to electrolyte imbalance Finally loved the shots where the camera seemed to be moving as your were walking away or alongside it. Would be interested to know how you did those on a solo trip!

Waking up on Christmas Eve Day to a Rob Parsons film...who could ever ask for anything more. Shame on you Tassie Gov for trying to stop him. You should be ashamed of yourselves, I know I am for you.

Dude is Indiana Jones....."this belongs in a museum " 😂❤ merry Christmas from Ohio.

Well done Rob. Really enjoy you videos. 😊

I agree with others that national parks should be supporting people like you. I'd also like to congratulate you and your beautiful wife on your new chapter in life ! I hope you keep up ur efforts despite what nàtional parks try to pull on u .. merry Xmas and see u next year

Merry Christmas to you and your family Rob 🎅🏼🧑🏻‍🎄🎄🥰 can’t wait for this one !!

Rob Parsons, You are the quintessential Tasmanian Legend

This adventure was absolutely incredible. The scenery, commentary, and history.. Stellar!

That old beer crock proves you are correct sir. Great work Rob, your film making and ability to tell a story is highly appreciated. Keep up the good fight, Happy Christmas to the fam.

An honest, if young-in-cheek dig at Parks and Wildlife.. a great episode.. keep them coming

You are our modern day explorer! We live through you! Thank You!

What a great video. I enjoy seeing our country and the places I have never seen. Keep going with these wonderful videos.

A win win solution would be for parks to employ you. Imagine if they got you to make safety or educational videos showcasing Tasmanian wilderness. Congratulations too on the family front.

Most Exellent Video Bro ! Keep It Going 😎

Brilliant as always and thanks for the adventure Rob! -Liam 🇦🇺 🤙🏿

Awesome job Rob, well done again All your research and finally finding the rock was fantastic to watch

The amount of effort and energy you put into your videos is above and beyond. The history you share is great the research you do then getting out there to find the proof is admirable. Keep up the work

Champion!!! Great job brother…you got ripper bush skills and what I particularly like is your honesty…thanks for sharing and all your efforts 🙏👍💪-Dazstone

I’ve walked French’s a few times. It’s one of my favs. Yeah I walked it before all the track work on the Loddons to and after. It’s made it relatively easy now with the bottom track work. I sorta understand the hard going getting through the tea trees, then button grass where it’s lower but with big holes between clumps and the Jack jumpers on the higher ones need to watch yourself. It’s a sorta clumsy dance getting through. Anyway, I didn’t know this history. Perked my interest as I love this area of Tassie and not many go out this way. Especially the route you went. Thanks for sharing, was a great reminder for me of a countryside I see little of these days. Have moved to Qld now so can’t really pop out for a couple of days in Tassie wilderness.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT LAST SHOT YOU FILMED WAS SICK ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parks and the government of Tasmania should proclaim you to be LORD PARSONS of the Jungle and pay you for the promotion you provide. Your videos get better every episode.

This was just epic, big thanks for sharing this adventure! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Nothing to say but awsome….u legend rob❤️👌👍

Bloody awesome watch 🎉🎉 love those sweeping side on shots, so good man

Great premier. Glad I tuned it.

Absolutely incredible movie to watch on Christmas morning!

Im so FREAKING happy to see this post!!!!!

Absolutely Sensational Rob, like many before me Thankyou for sharing parts of your remarkable life again.

What a great adventure you took us through some wild country. Here in the US we had a Ron Parson’s type by the name of Daniel Boon. He was asked if he was ever lost and he said no, only confused at times. Keep the Adventure Going for us please - so love the historical nature of what you and Levi do.

True emotions for this one! Great job! Thanks for sharing the adventure 🙏❤️🌲

Such a great find Rob and thanks for another epic adventure, Merry Christmas to you, Erin and Scout, and again, wow! you are a legend mate!

Brilliant Rob keep it going whilst ever you can

Thank you, Rob, for letting me feel like I am searching with you. You have achieved so much, well done, you deserve all the accolades you get. 👏 😊

I just love your videos Rob all the way from Bethpage TN USA
