- Recently our small family sold our beachside home, looking to offload our mortgage and live a life filled with freedom.
We dreamed of owning our own homestead, nestled in nature, where we can raise our family and grow our own fruit and vegetables.
The motivation behind this lifestyle change, is the want to become more self sufficient, to take the slow road, live within our means and protect and nurture our family values.
After much searching we found the perfect place, Its not going to be easy, but we’re up for the challenge. And on this channel we’ll be sharing our journey, our highs our lows, and all the joy that comes in-between.
It's been a long time in the making, but we’ve finally arrived, welcome to Robinsbrook Homestead.
Contact: robinsbrookhomestead@gmail.com
Finding a woman with these kind of values is even rarer then all the gold nuggets you find, I wish you all the very best.
Made me tear up. Thank you!
@@robinsbrookhomestead Most welcome, I've shed a tear or two in seeing your guys happiness and adventures, please never stop.
Ah, I suspect she's rather lucky too!
Hi I am from India really getting a life partner like this is great great fortunate A lots of love 💕 n my good wishes to your both 🙏🤗
Outstanding
Congratulations on escaping from the treadmill of debt and stress.
This is what life was meant to be like.
So fabulous exactly what we did 43 years ago. Although things have changed now we're older, we've never regretted it. Best thing EVER for children. Best wishes.
Yeah when houses were affordable...
How about schooling and socialisation, sports etc?
Loved this video. Been down kinda lately and have lost track of my goals in life. This video reminded me of hope for a better future and for growth. Yall are so fortunate to have this life. All of your hard work and perseverance has paid off. Thank you for filming this
Having followed you for many years and seeing you both reach this point, brings a lot of joy and really added a heap of emotional feeling to watching video.
I speak from experience, that you buy a house, you move into a house, then you make changes and put your own feelings into the house - finally it becomes a home. And you can always feel the difference between a house and a home.
Congrats to you both, excited to see what you bring to this amazing home.
Absolutely laughed till I cried when you lost power, as it was our intro intro to our little place. iI is now a constant where we live, a n isolated village in the NE on the shores of Bass Strait. You learn very quickly to have a little gas cooker, bbq , plenty of battery operated torches and lights, a good srore of candles, a good toasting fork and jafflemaker , big bucket of water for the bathroom and when the weather starts to get dicey we just fill, billys, buckets etc as a matter of course. Also hot water bottles come in handy. Just like camping.. Nothing better than laying in front of the fire, no power, no phones, no internet. Xx A truly beautiful hideaway and is going to be a wonderful life for your family.
Yes, it's incredible...
Reminds me of the years I grew up in the outback... Channel Country...
When 'the wet' came...
8 weeks of going nowhere and we never had mains electricty nor phone...
Yes, we used an old copper boiler and pioneer village style washing apparatus...
We had carbide lights, till we got a 32v generator...
with battery storage...
Wood stove with hot water on side... and for baths, we had 2x 44 gal drums welded together, and we lit a fire under them...
Water was 2 x 30' dams side by side that supplied the homestead and surrounding stock paddocks!
I am so looking forward to the different climate, nature and the different way to survive different conditions!
But yes, they'll be many more challenges to come as you carve out your space as you reconnect with nature!
Cheers
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy a wonderful life caring for this special place with all the birds you now call home ............
We have a generator hard wired into our house. It can run the fridge, freezer, water pumps and a power socket so we can recharge our phones. This means that no matter what happens and as long as we have fuel we can stay in our home. Best investment ever as the power is often out in remote parts of Tassie. Best wishes to your family and congrats on your fab new property.
Heartwarming new adventure, Rob, Erin and Scout, rocking the Robinbrook! With the name-change to the channel, we wandered in unexpectedly, into sweet nostalgic memories of the seventies when we were a kid, parents home-making a forties soldier's house, bottles stacked high along the fence, but deposit returns ended, so did their bottle savings fence account. Alterations and repairs, the constant blackouts, trouble with the dirty water from the mains, and that was in the mid seventies, suburban Melbourne, Springvale, home of the band, TISM, who played Launceston in February.
Your new home, charming building, beautiful setting, the birdlife is amazing, fearless Eastern Riflebird with the orange chest have a nice, loud continuous call. Look after the small shrubbery as shelter for them all, the kookaburra keeping down the numbers of lizards and probably snakes, another hazard to look out for.
You're tops for sharing this, Rob. It's in remembering since your working the shop and earlier wedding videography career, mixing it with some prospecting fun, been since a long road, and a winning leap forward with this adventure, it's beauties and challenges, good luck and much happy goodwill saving, banking and accumulating interest, you could bottle it, spirit of life, eau de vie, it'd be nonetheless no deposit, no return! Howzat for a full circle motif, so cheers, The Robinbrook Three! 🌦️🏡🐦👨👨👦❤
God is great. 💜🙏
AMEN!
Amen
Amen
Oh so exciting guys! I’ve loved every minute of your new adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you on your new and incredible journey and I’m looking forward to each and every new instalment 🎉🎉🎉❤
You have a way about you both that I find extremely calming - always leaving me wanting to slow down, breathe, and listen to the birds.
Thanks you for your sweet comment Rhys!
I am so green with envy right now. You are going to live your best lives at Robins Brook Homestead. ❤
A dream these days worth pursuing.
Omg that place is beautiful, guys! Congratulations 🙌 You three deserve it
Hermoso su hogar felcitacoones un sueño ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
100% awesome !!
A generator, housed outside in its own space to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, would be a great addition to an already amazing homestead for the short term fixing of the situation after the storms of winter roll through. I love your place! 😀
Going to love following all your adventurers and how this house works out for your beautiful family over the years.
Thank you so much for being here!
Thank you for letting us into your home. What an idyllic place, beautiful bird life and peace and quiet ...
Lovely house, lovely family. Congrats. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Good bless you!!!
Thank you! You too!
Absolute thrill to share your families joy Rob :)
Wow! What a dream come true! And it is nearly ready-made, with flowers, vegetable and chickens! you didn’t have to rebuild a derelict cottage or carve a place out of the brush!! Congratulations!
What a perfect home you people got.
Fantastic move Rob, you will never regret this decision.
Amazing, what a beautiful slice of heaven you guys found ❤
Enjoyed immensely!!!!
What a wonderful treasure you found there.
I love your farm. What state are you in? I sold my farm 7 years ago to move to the beach in Queensland. I was south of Bega and it was getting too cold for my old bones. Btw, hens take about 20 hours to grow each egg and only lay one each day. It’s amazing how a few chickens can keep you in eggs though. 😊😊
Hi friend you are great friend ❤❤❤❤❤
Me and my son watched it he is 8-years-old he loved it too
🎉What a Breath of Fresh Air 🙏
The Grouse House!👍
Absolutely brilliant. So happy for you guys, warms the heart to see people doing so well. Look forward to following the adventure. Sincerely wish all three of you the best. Thanks for sharing the story with us.
Idyllic environment altogether. A thoroughly delightful beginning for all three of you!!! Thanks for sharing. Aussie born, almost 80 yrs old; 50, in USA!
Hey !! I know this family !! Congrats guys !!👍👍👍👍
Congratulations, an adventurous new beginning. 😊

Just found out about the new channel! Proud to have subscribed at 9.56 k. Congrats!!!!
It is the best the best area. Good luck your family❤
so party at parsons///robinbrook homestead style
I lived your video. Can't wait for more!!
I've watched your gold sniping videos and have been subscribed for about a year. I enjoy each one very much and appreciate it when you add up your tally at the end of the video. This latest video is profoundly meaningful. I've not had a drink in over 33 years. I never think about those old destructive days anymore but stay vigilant knowing I know absolutely nothing. I'm older now and old enough to be your father. I'd be so proud of you if you were my son!
For both of you and your son "Good on you".
Congratulations beautiful family. I am looking forward to going on this amazing journey with you.
Thank you so much!
All the best! Awesome outcome! Congrats👌
Wow!!
How exciting for you both mate 😀
Isn't it wonderful when too beautiful souls share so much love and passionate for each other wishing you guys some much happiness
Awesome, loving your adventure
The best way to live
Welcome to rural living, where most things are on a municipal scale. Back up generator, kero lanterns, solar if that's your thing. Or a gas BBQ and a camping shower for those times when the utilities fail. Next comes the chainsaw and a block splitter. Been there; still doing it; would not change a thing. Plant trees now for firewood in the future. Best of luck, good people.
And fruit trees... love some jam, pies, preserves and homemade wine.
The power of a strong relationship. 🙌🏻
All the best on your new journey slash adventure from the old Lenahvalley boys ❤
Great adventures in homesteading await you. I’m in SE Arizona USA in a 2400 soft. Straw bale home on 35 acres in the desert SW 6 miles from the international border with Mexico. Been here 16 years. It’s a lot of constant work but you grow into it. You’ll love it too. Congrats, and good health, wealth, and happiness.
Nice place you have there
Congratulations 👏
I wish you all good health peace and happiness in your new home Gorgeous baby T he birds are truly amazing . living with nature all around you Brilliant
Congratulations on what you have achieved. Looking forward to the progress ....in making it your home..
Awesome your living my dreams. Wishing you and family all best and happiness ❤ riono
Congratulations on your new home! Two of my favourite birds featured: the Kookaburra and the Eastern Spinebill 🤗 (oh but I love the Superb Fairy Wrens too!). Our power goes off too during a storm but we find it has nothing to do with our wiring because all of our neighbours' power goes off too (welcome to regional Victoria 😅).
Well done getting all of the stuff done before the removalists arrived. Amazing! We're on tank water too. You were very wise to have the water tanks cleaned out/inspected.
Your house looks amazing! So much personality! And that gorgeous blend of rural Australia meets cottage garden! Greetings from Lal Lal ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Big hugs your way.
@@robinsbrookhomestead 🩷🌞🙌😘
Rob is awesome! Good man, I’d be proud to be your dad! Scout and Erin are cute, such a sweet family!

Well done Rob, following you on your previous adventures I have little doubt that you have what it takes to give this project your all, i wish you all success in this venture. I personally think that you've managed this pretty early in life; welcome OUT of the rat race!
