    Such a magical place, l hope it can be preserved forever so the stories can live on. Such a privilege to walk amongst those trees Rob, imagine the miners possibly never understood the significance of the King Billy pine other than a source to be utilised. Hopefully the trees will survive for another millennia, so much can't be learnt just in this area alone. Thank you for sharing the history of the hut, what a monument to time!

      Well, don't watch or share this channel! If the monarchy is over tho wen, then Tasmania will be devastated by human greed. And then humans will understand why no huge mining companies are never allowed to blast and kill the unique diversity on the remote island of Tasmania

    My favourite type of Rob Parsons vid! Stunning, beautiful history. Oh my gosh the quoll was amazing! Trying to take advantage a warm fire hut, cute little bugger. 🥰 and that mine is epic, the colours are beautiful. You'd almost want to go swimming in there in summer, it's so clear! 😄
    Falling snow is the most magical thing. Thanks, Rob, very cool video!

    A spectacular area magnificently shown, thank you, Rob. Thosr signposts must be of King Billy Pine to have persisted, and the tracks intersecting looked they'd have been quite active in spite of the ruggedness and wildness of this gobsmackingly beautiful countryside. The visitor's respect shows in the hut's maintenance and the many comforts people have left for others to come, in a perpetuity of grace. Thanks for adding to it, and sharing, as you ever do. Cheers from Gabi of Narre Warren, Victoria.

    So much beauty. Gotta tell you something, birdsong in the morning makes the pores in the leaves wake up. I reckon a couple of those trees were waving like mad at you when you went out and and had the joy of the snow in your voice.. They have gotten used to having people around and must like it when people come around So yeah, they hear the birds, so they can hear us, for sure.

    That was pretty cool Rob. No pun intended. You got your wish for snow at the old hut. I somehow could tell you were pretty chuffed about that. That old mine was pretty wicked too. Nice over nighter. One I am sure you will never forget. Nothing quite like being hunkered down in an old hut with fire blazing & hot food at your fingertips while snowing outside. Snug as a bug in a rug. Nice one mate. John from New Zealand :)

    What an awesome part of the world you live in. So primal in parts. I can't help wondering what made the miners head off into such a remote area thinking they would find something in the first place. I think you're mental going into that mine alone but I'm also glad you filmed it and shared it. Great video Rob. Awesome! 😃

    Thanks for that, Rob - very interesting adventure. Really good to hear about the different trees and see a cheeky camper! We'll have to get that book, just had some bits made from some reclaimed King Billy & Huon, so it was great to see it still actually lives & grows, it's a lovely wood. Happy trails! That view from the mine was awesome and the falls looked incredible! I think it would be good to tell us the month you are filming as it gives more depth and context. Do you think Tigers would live in that neck of the woods?

    WOW, as always the highest quality of adventure on display. Amazing history and story of the old hut, so nearly lost forever save for the chance discovery by the forestry dept.
    The view around the 36 minute mark might be one of the nicest you have ever shared with us, thanks.
    Serious question; did you leave your gigantic balls outside the mine, or was there just enough space in the collapsed entrance to squeeze them through?
    Love your content, always look forward to the next adventure.

    Another great video. Would love to know how you look for things in history and try to retrace them. Whether a hut, a mine, a slate tablet or Tassie Tiger. You must spend hours researching sometimes. Libraries or online. Love to know
