My dad took me to a remote farm an hour from Burnie TAS in 1963. On the way there he told me to never forget this day. An old guy in a dressing gown took us out the back and in a cage was what looked like a big dog with stripes. My dad told me it was a tassie tiger and not to tell any of my mates but never forget it . I know people think sure you did. I was there saw it and thats enough for me .

I know a young man who goes wood hooking for a living, he's seen 2 Tasmanian tigers over 10 years and he won't tell anyone where, most people that have seen them never will 🙂👍❤.

I believe you. 'An old guy in a dressing gown', no way you would make that detail up.

Nothing on KZread brings me the same joy as seeing a new Rob Parsons upload!

these videos are a editorial and storytelling masterpiece - glad to see someone producing interesting high quality content on this site

I'm sorry, this is my first time tackling a pet hate. Can people please use 'an' instead of 'a' before certain words where appropriate? It would seem that Americans are serial offenders, it has become really bad. Someone needs to put a stop to this poor grammar. (No doubt somebody will dissect my comment. However, I am merely pointing out the very basics). It hurts everytime I read it. Make it stop!

@@parkersanderson4156 you jump to the conclusion that I pick apart every comment when I raise a very specific hate of mine. And you'll find it quite prevalent.

I love this format of reading historic documentation/poetry etc and epic camera work. So grateful that you are doing this before mother nature totally takes back whats hers. Cheers Rob for taking me on another adventure. 🙏❤️

Thanks once again Rob for another interesting video. I always look forward to your videos, but this one came at the perfect time. A week and a half ago I lost my wife to cancer and this video gave me an hour of respite to allow my mind to wander to the beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness. Thank you.

That was a wonderful film. Well done, good story and good history lesson. My grandfather and his father journeyed to Australia - for what I don’t know, but I suspect they hoped to make it rich. They came back with nothing, and got in trouble on the boat for stealing beer from the barrels on board. Now I’m part of the oldest generation in the family (I’m 76), and soon those story’s will be lost! Ah me! You brought back the tales my Dad told me.. thank you. Les in UK 🇬🇧

I feel the same,you should really make those stories into a book those stories should never be allowed to die and be forgotten.

You nail it every time, keep true Rob. I recently did a far easier trip to an old Mining Town in Central QLD called Mount Britton. The history and the feeling you get just standing in the middle of where old pubs, police stations and boarding houses used to be once is surreal. Many old diggers would have hidden some Insurance in those hills also, keeping an eye for landscape and places that are naturally good hidey holes.....even the thought of finding that piece of history is addictive. Poem was also a great reading. Cheers

What a great episode of Tasmanian history , scenery glorious,and the chips of gem stones glittering in your pan.I so love you telling us more Tasmanian folklore love it Rob❤

Once again another amazing video mate! Keen for another adventure soon.

Fun stories you do a great job with your limited information.

Imagine how committed those early prospectors and miners were.Hard men!

Beautifully edited vid Rob. Love the way you find unique angles and different techniques so it seems like someone else is filming sometimes. Must take forever to film . Worth waiting for to see what adventure you get up to next.

I’m still baffled that you don’t have 200,000 plus subs . Love all your vids

I appreciate that dude. My growth has always been a drip feed. Hopefully one day I can thrive on this platform.

Thanks for the journey through the history of our beautiful island,keep it coming😊.

Terrific documentary..I have spoken with a number of credible witnesses to ongoing thylacine sightings in Tasmania within the last 20 years or so. All the best with your ongoing thylacine research and also historical work

Oh man the history is incredible! I love the way you put your films together!

Thanks for sharing all the research, history & on-site information of these amazing trips you go on! As always, a pleasurable watch 😊

I tip my hat to you for reexploring your nations' history, and for taking some old and weathered travelers along for the ride!!

Truly a very beautiful countryside, it was a pleasure to walk with you. Not only that, you found something distinctly heartwarming and cheering. Thank you Rob

Wow! Just brilliant and breathtaking 😊 thank you so much for sharing your journey with us 💜

Absolutely great history telling, Rob. Great job, mate.

Love these videos Rob. You are a great story teller. The quality video of the sites with the maps and history are such a bright spot in a crazy world. Please keep it up!

Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful video and a terrific story, beautifully told, to match.

Thank you for another wonderful video, the Tasmanian government should be paying you for your contribution of showing the world what a beautiful place Tassie is 😊

What a ripper video Rob, loved the poem at the end. Brilliant stuff. Thank you for bringing me along.

Thank you ever so much..for this so interesting beautiful..journey.. God bless your travels..

Made my covid day! The poem/drone shots so atmospheric I cried.

Youre a good story teller. No filler. All info. Good one.

Hi Rob - another amazing video!! We drove passed this turn off on our way to Corinna and didn’t know anything about the history of the area. Thank you for opening our eyes. I’m going back through the video to look at all the documentation you showed - wonder if I can find it on Google?!! By the way - we loved that you read that moving poem on your way back. Brought tears to my eyes! 💕

Thanks Rob that was extremely informative and entertaining 😊

At the end, I laid my head back, watch a little of the video. Then close my eyes and there they were, working in the drinking and digging and walking down the path. Thank you for that closing poem.

Another fascinating video Rob. Nothing like rusty bits of metal in the bush. My grandmother was born at Magnet in 1931.

What a wonderful video. Absolutely fabulous again, Rob. Thank you so much.

Spent yesterday rewatching some of your greatest hits, wondering when a new “R.Parsons doco” was gonna drop...BOOOYAAAA! Great work as always! Cheers

Great little overnighter you brought us along with you. I like your documentary style. Awesome adventure yet again! Well done young fella

Thanks again Rob. I'm running out of time to see some of these places and your documentary style helps bring these well documented sites to life. Possibly garnets in your pan. Great poem. Will look it up.

Great poem, our fleeting lives are so easily lost to time, but words so beautifully crafted give us a flavour of those pioneers lives.

Thanks so much Rob for allowing me to get to know, in depth, your part of the world (Tasmania). I'm a Brit. living (and retired) now in South Eastern Brazil and I go on similar adventures (mostly on my own) out here. I know that I'll never get to Australia but your videos are the next best thing. This particular one I found a bit spooky though, what with all the abandoned relicts AND the dire consequences should you be on your own (my preferred way of getting back in contact with nature) and falling down any one of those unmarked shafts!

These videos are like little treasures Simple yet sophisticated content and totally absorbing . Top notch .

Fantastic!!!!!

Thanks Rob, very much enjoys your craftwork adventure.

Love the history of the west coast and love watching you videos thanks for another great one

I love the adventures you go on, really sheds a light on Tasmania and the culture, I am fortunate to have found your site when I did Great stuff

So excited to see your video tonight, really enjoy your adventures and amazing stories.

What a film, well done young Sir and that poem at the end, so deep and overflowing with meaning, thank you 😊

Thanks Rob for taking us to places most of us will never get to go to. So much history and beautiful relics of a lifestyle well gone.

Fascinating. Love to see places that not many have seen. Strange to me the lack of wildlife, here in New England the woods are teeming with life.

Thanks Rob again for your amazing story telling and superb cinematography! The ending poem was so fitting! Cheers mate. -Liam 🇦🇺 🤙🏿

I've been a fan of Levi for some time because of his content, I came across your channel by accident and I'm impressed, been going through some older vids and newer ones, I used to be into the discovery of days gone by, just thinking of the work, life and hardships these people must have worked through just to get by was impressive to say the least, keep it up thanks very much

An amazing video Rob. Love your work.

Awesome adventure Mate Thanks again for sharing

love your videos, always looking forward to the next one

Isn't it amazing how quickly a whole town just disappeared back into the forest and in such a short amount of time. Love your video's Bob/

So interesting. Amazing forest.. Thank you, from London.

Nicely done Rob. Appreciate your effort. Very interesting. :)

What an awesome adventure Rob,, absolutely amazing locations, thanks for taking us along, bloody brilliant!

What a fantastic look at the way the old timers did their thing I have always had a keen interest in the old gold fields of my home state of Victoria and a bit of NSW as well in fact I'm planning a trip into a relatively unknown area of the Victorian Alpine region to have a bit of a look around I might even get lucky and find some gold. Thanks Rob for another great adventure.

Another great film. Keep them coming👍😀
