Hike to Lake Oberon, Western Arthurs Tasmania 

Happy New Year Everyone and thank you all for your kind words regarding mine and Erins engagement, it means to world to us! I just recently ticked over 5k subscribers and I want to thank you all for your support with everything.. those of you who buy my merch, the comments, shares, likes, EVERYTHING! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! LET 2022 BEGIN..

You keep on producing the most beautiful content. Please don't risk yourself when you're feeling ill.

Thank you Rob. As older Tasmanians my wife and I are no longer able undertake adventures such as this and because of physical considerations our most adventuresome sojourn was an overnight visit to lake Nameless. Thank you so very much for sharing your research and videos on RU-vid. There is so much of our state to see when you leave the car behind.

So Lovely Mother Nature at her. Thanks for sharing !👧

Looking forward to the scenery!👧♥️

Hey Rob I ventured out this way in 2020 before lockdown. It was shitty weather but we managed to do the full traverse. I'm painting Lake Oberon at the moment and my photos were very average and few between due to the weather, so your video has been a great help. thanks again.

I am a geologist , retired, loving the contorted mountains!

Hi i live in Hobart 57 yrs young. travel all over this Island :-) 4x4 and motorcycling , camping , prospecting. Your Vids rule the WWW . Great Respect and Huge thanks u do Tassie Justice SIR :-)

Great video and scenery Rob. Glad you shook off your virus to get through it.

Great footage - loved the time lapse with the clouds rolling in.

Blown Away absolutly stunning

Here we go on another adventure. Can’t wait as I know the scenery will be amazing!👧♥️

Another magnificent video Rob. Thanks for making such an effort. The high production values do the scenery justice. Well done.

Okay I’m definitely adding this hike to my list

WOW, what a video!! Definitely my favourite so far which is really saying something as I love them all. The scientific lead in was terrific and the way you captured that timeless landscape has made me want to pull out my hiking boots and do this walk too. Great work soldiering on when you obviously felt like crap. The eagle in the beginning was a real treat 👍🏽🥰

Dear Rob, Thank you for taking this ole girl, on your adventures, I've just found your channel and binding a few esps. liking them all.. 😊😊😊

SPECTACULAR!!!

Thanks for all the tracks ,videos and shots on the way!

New bucket list 1-Lake Oberon [ ]

Epic 👍 Keep it up your amazing work 👌

Rob, once again you have excelled. Western Arthurs is truly a magnificent place with so much to see, you only scratched the surface. You released this video while I was on the Eliza Plateau. Another amazing walk worth doing, but of vertical and less horizontal. Very impressed with the push to the Lake in the time you made it in. Well done again.

Just recommended a family member watch this one and was compelled to enjoy it immensely again. Well done Rob, thank you. p.s. I have an urge to send you some fine Merino woollies.

Hope you’re feeling better now mate. Love all the videos you make. Cheers for making them, I’m sure a fair bit of effort goes into each one. Really appreciate it

Majestic place.

I loved the adventure rob, I'm 80 i wish I had done these lovely walks when i was younger. Regards Tezza

Hahaha! You actually said you love horizontal. Excellent.

Loved watching this video - brought back memories from my younger days hiking NZ.

Good to see you again Rob. Wishing you an awesome 2022. Great content as always 💖

It’s a brilliant area. Great to see your video. Memories 💚

Stunning scenery. Another great video thank you

Thanks for another great video. Hope you feel better soon and thanks for taking us all along for the ride 😊 I'm getting to see parts of my island that I most likely never will and you are inspiring me to get out there and see the places that are within my capabilities

Amazing scenery Rob 👌 Thanks for sharing, it was truly beautiful

Beautiful scenery, looking forward to the next adventure :)

Exceptionally good hike and another captivating production. Well done Rob!

Thanks for sharing your stories and talents. Another excellent video.

Great video Rob. Thanks for sharing the awesome trek. Keep em coming!!

Wow, this is spectacular! Thanks for the amazing footage, as always 🙌

Just outstanding, stay safe.

Great video Robzombie.😂 I would like to see you make a video of catching some footage of the giant freshwater crayfish in Tassie I know your not allowed to trap them but you could take your diving equipment with you and catch some footage on your underwater go pro, that would be wicked. You also could do some prospecting while you were there and you should leave your trail cams on for a few days while you camp and try for some footage of the illusive Tassie 🐅. Just an idea but I haven't seen the giant crayfish yet, I think that they live in the creeks of the far northwest but cause your a local you would probably know exactly where they are. Best of luck friend.🐅🤗

Happy 2022 and congrats on your engagement. Thanks for sharing another of your awesome adventures👌 I'll have to add this to my list of things I'd like to do next time I visit Tassie, might need a longer holiday 😀

Great Journey Again Rob...Thanks Mate and have a Happy and Safe New Year.👍

Awesome video mate!! The wild orchids, scenery and mountains look pretty spectacular!!

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing😊.

Great stuff mate! Thanks for showing an absolutely beautiful part of the world. Inspirational probably sums it up for me. All the best mate 👍👍

I've been to junction creek when I was 12, climbed mt hesperus. I know what an exhausting walk it is.

really nice imagery Rob. And thanx for the geology tutorial!

Happy new year buddy stay safe your videos just show how special Tasmania is so much to see 😷

Stunning scenery and really well shot, as with all your videos mate. This one is definitely on the future hikes list for me. Thanks for sharing the trip.

Brilliant video has given us a little insight into our challenge this week

Downloading this video to watch later and hopefully do myself I've heard it's amazing

My 7 year old daughter says your videos are amazing and so do I.

Nice work and thanks for sharing. We hiked the range Jan 2019 your vid brought back some nice memories. Loved the beginning with the explanation of the range formation. Hope you're feeling better now.

still so many places throughout our state I have yet to go

Thanks for taking us on this spectacular hike and letting us be vicarious adventurers

Great intro into the Arthurs mate - keen todo this one myself. Top Job!

Always a great place. Loved the video work of slow moving scenes interspersed with time lapses. Good work. Well done.

Another good video Rob well done, thanks for sharing.

Great vid Rob, what a range!

Great video thanks. This hike is on my to do list. Love you hat btw. Cheers.

did this walk last January and even vlogged it inspired by you! (although i never posted it). Was very hyped to see this video pop up in my feed, great video as usual!

A specy hike. The flora upon those ranges, wonderful captures. The geological folds, amazing. The views, outstanding. The time you took, phenomenal. I hope that burned the crony out of you. Looking forward to your next share with us.

That eagle you seen was a younger wedge tail (highly unseen or photographed ) actually was thought they had been no more living or very few ) but IV seen one up northern Tas that had 1.5m wing span and stood half the height of a paddock fence.

Another epic vid. I love the effect the wind has on the water. What an awesome place, congrats on getting engaged too!

Thanks again what a spot to wake up

Another awesome video Rob ! 6am new years day and I'm just crawling into bed from drinking the night before, here you are on a 16 hour hike 😂😂

Rob, that was awesome. enjoyed that adventure. cheers.

Great vid once again Rob. Thanks for showing us parts of Tassie that most of us won’t ever get to👍🏼💪

Great hike crazy rock formations. My wife and l did Black Bluff on Christmas. Best way to celebrate special occasions. Hope you feel better.

Ive just moved to Hobart I cant wait to visit these places

great vid rob i see more of tassie from n great pictures,thanks.

Loved the vid , gorgeous scenery when it was overcast and misty , would definitely cast it in a different light if it was blue skies all round. Gotta say you pick awesome songs to play during your vids as well Rob , well done . Looking forward to the next one.

Wow, quite the dramatic change in weather just from Lake Cygnus to Square Lake! Good old Tassie weather delivering the goods. Two days, or is it seasons in one day! 😉😏

Geology captures, wicked! Tassie botanicals, out of control! Silent landscape stills awesome. Bucket Hat... getting seasoned. Happy NY Rob...sendit!🤣❤️👏

Very cool

Dude this is so crazy for me. I've been following your channel for a little while now and was camping at Oberon the same night as you which is blowing my mind. Should've come over to the hang spot and had dinner with us! Glad you showed the wind that night too because it was pumping.

Thank you Rob for your breathtaking video, the scenery you captured was out of this world. Well done mate you are an inspiration. Have you ever done a hike to "Federation Peak" ? In the late 80's my wife and I took a joy flight over south West Tassie which included Federation Peak and to our amazment there was a hiker on top waving to us as we flew by, something i have never forgotten. Stay safe and congrats on your engagement. Cheers.

Awesome video Rob! I did Lake Oberon and back with my father and brother and loved it! The views are amazing, and what a sight for sore eyes is Oberon as you come over that saddle at the top! You didnt show much of the descent into Oberon, no doubt as you had no free hands to film, that descent was a tricky one! We werent game enough to go swimming either haha Thanks for sharing this, keep it up!

Another wicked video Rob, hanging out to follow your adventures in 2022 🤙🏼

That certainly is an amazing place Rob I would love to get back to Tassie one day in the near future.

You've done well Rob to get to Oberon in a day, especially feeling rotten. I still remember my skinny dip in the freezing but welcome water at Oberon . No flash tracks in my day 40 years ago. Your preference to rainforest scrub bashing is understandable but as they say a change is as good as a holiday. Go and do the whole range ,West and East and don't rush it. Looking forward to the next video so keep them. coming mate.

A pleasure as always mate hope I can do that one day oh that’s right I’m stuck at the rivers 🙄😂

wow stunning landscape I think I was born in the wrong country

G'day Rob, I have found some space to catch up time on some of your doings, congrats. to you and Erin on your engagement, looking forward to making the trip to Tas in October to join in the celebrations. Enjoyed the Oberon and the massive history of Adamsfield, WOW that was enjoyable, all the best mate to you and Erin ,your old uncle Mike

How you're all good now? Glad you went that route as I'll never get there so a spectacular hike & the geology is epic, I do love that quartzite! - & I guess those were amazing orchids? I like the history too, & you taking us off the beaten path in search of bringing the Past back to life & discovering Tassie 'secrets'...- take care & keep well, look forward to the next Adventure!

The night you spent in the car, was the night I was camping at Lake Judd just up the road. Great video brother, can't wait to go to the Western Arthurs one day soon.

You are a walking machine to be able to get in and out in that time. It sure is an amazing location.

class vid man, looked amazing. also, great hat haha

I walked this track about 3 times 20 years ago. No board walk then. Camped down by the lake but it rained solid for 3 days and flooded my tent. Fortunately it was waterproof but there was a lot of condensation and my down bag was loosing loft. Next day was sunny and I moved on and dried out.

Great video again. Western Arthurs are amongst my best ever hikes. I took a heck of a lot longer to get to Lake Oberon. Glad to see you didn't take your bride. Take a tip from an old bushwalker. Just because she marries you, doesn't mean your wife wants to do the Jane River or the Arthurs.

Another great one mate. Thanks for taking us along , all the best for 2022 safe travels.

Another great vid legend, hope your well and didn’t get to crook!

Nice one Rob. Looks like a lot of good track work has been done as far as Oberon. Pretty good effort getting there in a day when you're not 100%.

… and plan a return traverse as far as West Portal then back and out via Moraine K in mid February. I’m an old bugger though Rob and wouldn’t pretend to match your pace. Well done and, as usual, beautiful camera work, editing and soundtrack.

प्रकृति से मनुष्य का क्या संबंध है यह देखकर बड़ा खुश हुआ

merry 22 cobba im with you peaks are fun but the forests hide the history and the hard won treasures great edit goodonya bro yeeewwww

Had a photo of it above our fireplace for years.

Awesome content...Makes me home sick...

What an epic place! Love to see it but think I’d need a body transplant to be able to accomplish it! Thanks for sharing

When you tackling the full traverse 😜

I climbed a mountain on NYE too and slept through the clickover into 2022! Oh well, its better being out in the wilderness than among the masses. Spectacular landscape, its on my bucket list. Do you use a gimbal stabilizer? Your shots over the vegetation were fab! Hope you're feeling better.
