    You walk amongst the greatest of men.
    A great man is not measured by wealth or power but by how he helps others achieve great thing's through the pain of his own body. Many would never see these wonderful places, but through you're own pain, you bring these great places to the homes of many people.

    Dombrovski would have loved this Rob, superb camera work. Its not easy to capture the spirit of Tassie nor to have enough spirit to seek it. Breathtaking.

    Bloody hell! What can be achieved in a day? You are a great example of what can be done if you get off your ass and do it. Fantastic footage. Beautiful edited. You did paradise justice. On more than one occasion the look on your face, drifting in silence amongst the dinosaurs, said it all! Cheers to those that had the foresight to fight for it!

    Tasmania is beautiful and I had only seen snippets of its wilderness until you showed the World its incredible sights.
    Every moment of your adventure brought more and more of its treasure to light.
    You took a journey that many of us can only dream of but you captured it all on video and brought us one step closer.
    Thank you.

    Hi Rob, l have only now been introduced to you and your video trips via my good friends in south Tassy. I live in Central Victoria on a 56 acre registered Sanctuary. I purchased this land to give back, protect and expand the extraordinary ammount of endemic flora and fauna on this connected corridor.
    I purchased Olegus book during the Gordon below Franklin protests when visiting Tasmania to assist ground zero protests . I was 21. Ever since l have been in love with Tasmanias wilderness experiencing rivers, landscapes and beaches as l am a part time Aboriginal anthropologist. Your shared experiences are inspirational and l thank you very much for the detail and time allowed in your videos to simply absorb at length mother nature at her natural and rare best.

I would have liked to know a little more about the flowering trees (if you knew) - those Huons where you stayed were incredible & I love Myrtles! I would have preferred to hear a little more about your struggles and past stories, the rushing waters and dripping rain rather than quite so much Ellie & Lissie - but can't take away from what an epic adventure this was and your marvellous photography, which single-handedly is EPIC! Shall share far & wide!! Keep safe, Spring is here - Adventures are calling...
