    Just when I thought your films couldn't possibly get any better or more interesting, you deliver in spaces Rob. Been up the Pieman myself in a Hobie Kayak and it's a magical place.
    The research and effort you put into making your films is greatly appreciated.
    Outstanding film - well done.

    • @HRRRRRDRRRRR
      @HRRRRRDRRRRR 2 дні тому +5

      Tbh I kinda understand where they're coming from when it comes from drones. RidingWithTom (I think it was him anyway) had a video of him going about his riding last year and he lost a drone in the bush and couldn't find it again. More and more people are buying cheap shit from Temu that tote the ability to follow you with object avoidance, that are just going to fly into trees and the dickhead tourists aren't going to bother to retrieve them.

    • @Rob.Parsons
      @Rob.Parsons  2 дні тому +56

      I do all of my drone filming on forestry managed land where I have permits to fly. As for Parks and Wildlife, I declined their invitation for a filming permit which would instantly stop me walking off track, showing any tracks that are not hand-picked by them and setting up camp in areas that are not designated wooden platforms made by them. Not to mention all for the low price of $440. The public does not need to pay to film on public land. Never have, never will.

    • @logsie3918
      @logsie3918 2 дні тому +4

      @Rob.Parsons 100% agree
      It is our parks and we are just showing the beauty of them.
      I was surprised to see the new laws in qld come into effect as I had heard nothing about them or had the local bushwalking clubs.
      Stupid thing is like you have pointed out in a previous video that instagram brings more idiots into the bush to get that perfect selfie. We have had 2 deaths up here in the last few weeks with them following Alltrails and trying to get that perfect selfie resulting in falling off waterfalls. Such a waste of life 😪
      On a side note
      I have started trail running this year with the goal of hopefully getting fit enough in a few years to head down your way and do the GoneNuts101.
