    as a Tasmanian currently living in Queensland, this brought me to tears immediately.
    To hear somebody talk about Tassie’s beauty, it’s history and to just see it, is so fucking familiar and refreshing.
    I really miss my home.

    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

      Hi Lee.
      As someone appart of the team that works with Terry Reid to help restore and maintain huts as well as the forest itself (like replanting new King Billy saplings etc) on the West coast of Tasmania we sure aim for this.
      Thanks for the support.

    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!

    My ancestors worked that area, logging and mining. Heritage Howard and Walters. I was so excited to see history of an ancestor life experience logged in the hut journal. Thank you for sharing your marvellous adventures, without your wonderings I would have never seen this history.

    My Grandpa's little 18 foot clinker built boat was King Billy. Soft so you needed to take care when scraping off the hull for re-painting. Beautiful timber. Lots rellies were in the timber and mineral work. Love our forest and history. Our little draught horses were outstanding too, very sure footed.
    Tremendous video, thank you.

    I did this walk with my family for my 16th birthday, just a few years ago and we spent the whole weekend there. It’s just so crazy to look back at the history and amount of work put into these places over almost 100 years. Just for nature to come back and fit this hut in like it’s a beautiful jigsaw puzzle.

    There is something so incredibly magical and special about snow falling in Tassie amongst the forest. The silence and peace that come with it are hard to describe. Thank you for capturing that and reminding me of just how beautiful that experience is.

    Thanks Rob ,we have koalas round my place at the moment grunting away as it’s breeding season, I love living in the bush away from Lego Land

    I took a group of NSW Venturer Scouts to that hut in 1980. It’s a great steep walk but well worth visiting the cabin. One story told was of the huge resident snake. It’s probably produced many descendants by now. Thanks for the memories. Cheers 👍🏻🙏😓

    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.
