In this video I explore a very remote region of Western Tasmania that I have been wanting to investigate for a long time now. The area was the scene of the Hydraulic gold mining craze which boomed in the Corinna area some 130 years ago. 10’s of kilometres of water race were cut into the hillside to accomodate the water pressure needed to blast the gold rich gravels up in the hills. Join me for this epic adventure as we take a long hard walk into Tasmania's wild-west past.

The videographic quality in Rob’s videos somehow keeps getting better! The most soothing ~40 minutes I’ve spent on RU-vid since the last Rob Parsons upload!

@Rob.Parsons Год назад

Appreciate that mate thank you.

@CJAtrading 7 месяцев назад

It’s true Rob, your vids are absolutely the best. Exciting and so peaceful at the same time. I have been watching you from the start and you have gotten so good. Can’t wait for you and Levi to do another adventure together again. 🤟🏻

@Kenneth194 Год назад

Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Your ability to navigate the bush whilst filming and the camera setups amazes us. As very senior citizens we enjoy watching what we can no longer achieve ourselves and we see parts of of our state we weren’t game to tackle in our younger days. Keep up the great work and please take care. Best regards.

@peter6816 Год назад

Always enjoy being taken along with you with your videos. They all have a perfect balance of being adventurous, peaceful and educational. The excitement of gold prospecting, the peace of the environment and camping, plus the history of Tas and the incredibly humble personally you have make each and everyone of your videos so enjoyable to watch.

@Rob.Parsons Год назад

Thanks Pete, it’s great to hear feedback like that. It means a lot to me to know that some people do enjoy the way I put together and present my ideas. The concepts are always more than just a night out hiking, or just gold, or just anything. So I’m glad you can recognise what I’m trying to achieve. Thank you

Just spent Christmas 5 days in Corrina , our mission was to explore on stand up paddles . Went as far as log jams and such would allow up savage and Whyte , took pieman down to lovers Falls. Had the idea of implementing bunnings umbrella s as sails to get back with the wind . Pretty sure the few locals thought we were on the tree bark . Me and the misso love your adventures mate . Keep going legend.

@bjoernandersen8287 Год назад

So the gold you find is flushed out of this mine and end up in the creek right? Great to follow your gold hunt even if it's just a small amount. Thanks for sharing.

@tyennatim1 Год назад

Must of been hell on earth getting all that heavy machinery into position, and the heart break of little or no result. Respect for those intrepid and brave old timers. The reclaiming of the history is fascinating Rob and all respect to you. A job well done.

@benhaslam8854 Год назад

I was thinking the same, I wonder what else is hidden in there, what old tracks etc...

@JD-yv2zx 11 месяцев назад

I really wonder the same thing, wonder it every mine if ever been. I know alot changes over 100 years but generally tracks that have been bulldozed in will always remain somewhat visible. Perhaps it was more so horse and cart and all machinery was dismantled for transport?

There were trees but as with many mining operations they likely cleared land to get to working ground
