Standing Beneath Tasmania's Most Elusive Waterfall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2022
- In this series I set out to follow the 100 km route through Tasmanian South-West Wilderness that Sir John Franklin and his party traversed in 1842.
This expedition was of great historic importance to Tasmania and led to the naming of name streams, mountains and plains. After careful research I realised that while some of these features still remain, some are misplaced, and some have been simply lost to time.
This route was partly covered by a group of 6 from the Hobart Walking Club in 1953, using the Frenchmans Cap Walking Track they began their walk about 30km West of where the Franklins had started.
In this series I cover the whole length over a period of 9 days, starting at Lake St Clair and finishing at the Gordon River.
The episodes will each be 25 minutes long, and I am expecting to have 8 episodes released twice weekly, one every Wednesday and one every Sunday at 7:30PM AEST.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can say this but I am absolutely swept along by this series. We are right there with you, Rob and I find myself caught up in the emotion of the effort and the experience you are giving us. That part of Tassie is awe inspiring and its an honour to be taken along on this adventure. Thank you, so much.
Thats so great to hear thank you. I am so stoked with how much everyone has enjoyed this series. From nothing but an idea in my head to a reality thats gone beyond my every expectation. Truely blessed, cheers.
All I could see was that little leach making it’s way towards your neck.
Tassie has some of the most magnificent landscape.
With heart of fearlessness and strength and clarity of mind, our brave adventurer marches on...
Rob that leech hopping towards your chin in the tent was killing us LoL, loved every minute of it mate.
Rob you are a pioneering legend. This is better than any miniseries on TV congratulations on producing outstanding content
Watching you carry a raft and paddle in one hand and the camera in the other while walking across mossy rocks.... so we could be there too. Nuts! Thanks Rob😅
You have lived more life in these trips, than most people do in a whole life. Well done.
Someone said I need to plug my merch more.. so here it is! www.staywildtas.theprintbar.com put your money where your mouth is!!😂 I hope you all enjoyed this one, I am loving making this series. FINAL EPISODE THIS SUNDAY NOOOOOO. But don't worry, I have plenty more trips up my sleeve.
Maybe do something like the one and only original Tom Cruse the Tasmanian Tom Cruse, not that other one...Pete from Devonport.... 🤠✌
You are an amazing young man Rob.You should be very proud of yourself.We love watching your videos and the stunning scenery as you struggle and battle your way through the tangled scrub.We cant wait to see your next episode.Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
When you get old you will relive all of this in your pain. wild man lucky you.
Loving every second of your channel.
Can't get enough of your adventures.
Wow! Amazing country, thanks for sharing with us. And those leeches, man, there's so many.
Epic man. I always look forward to the next of your videos. This one didn’t disappoint. I especially like the leech that was heading for you at 18mins 😂
It's become an addiction watching these, just as I'm sure your addiction is in documenting our state. Hopefully you get the recognition sooner than later. Whatever happens, your future kids are gonna be proud of their dad and his adventures! 🔮👍
help with that recognition ua-cam.com/video/nmSTv-Gi7RU/v-deo.html
18:00 watching that leech crawl up your collar was so stressful.
Brilliant videos though, love the effort you put in.
Came to the comments to see im not the only one lol...
I recon ur wife to be would be so glad to see u after this long you are such a inspiration to get out and explore this amazing place we live in
What can I say that’s not already been said? Another breathtaking video Rob. Thank you for the journey 💜
A century ago Robert Frost stood before a road diverging in a wood and in The Road Not Taken reminded us in 100 words of the magic of seeking out new adventures ending "I took the road less travelled by and that made all the difference" . Thanks Rob for showing us the same magic on a road only once travelled from Lake St Clair. Just magic !
Great series well done. Tassie bush has teeth. Not to be underestimated.
As usual, beautiful scenery and superhuman stamina from you. What an amazing adventure you have taken us along with, thank you.
The leech!!! Thank you so much for taking us along on this epic adventure.
This series is absolutely amazing mate, I’ll never get sick of seeing the most beautiful untouched parts of Our great state!

Just keeps getting better and better Rob. Absolutely amazing job.
So happy for you man. I’m from Stanley but financial hardship forces to live in bloody Melbourne. I get so emotional ”in a good way” when I see footage of my home state. Thanx.
You'll be one of only a few people alive to have stood on that White Hill Plains high point. Loved the lucky pop hole onto the river. That section of the Jane is one of the most beautiful pieces of river on this earth - lovely work.
You should be bloody proud of your efforts Rob. Even after 6 or 7 days solo, your motivation to film, commentate and document the journey is amazing! Thanks heaps for sharing with all of us mate 🙏🏼
I've truly loved this adventure , what an amazing trip
That primordial forest and then the amazing beauty of the Jane river was unreal thanks Rob for sharing this with us mere mortals
I reckon Olegas would be pretty proud of your efforts 👌 🙏

I salute you Rob, just wonderful and I can enjoy it due to your efforts. Thank you sincerely.
Nothing but fantastic! You and Levi have the best hobby, your lucky fellas doing what you do. 👍🏻
Well done! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Rob. I really enjoying watching your hard earned adventures.
Your videos bring back such wonderful memories for me of some 35 years ago when I was much younger and fitter and able to walk through our beautiful state. I can almost smell it and living vicariously through your videos brings me joy so thank you so much Rob ❤
Thanks for these vids mate. Few of us would get to see the beauty of the TAS wilderness.
So close to end, still not letting up, this is awesome.
Another stunning episode Rob! ----- The journey, history and the vid are tops!
Let's go ! This series has been awesome !! Don't know how you do it days pushing through scrub !

The wet & the leaches (& let's not forget the camera!!) must have made it extra tough - amazing trek - Awesome Adventure, Rob.

Amazing the distinctive changes in the undergrowth as you descended into Jane

Hey Rob hope you are well , mate I can't express how much effort you put in to your journeys, please stay safe ! You are a true an adventurous person. Thank you so much for the beautiful scenery in your filming . They say that parts of tassie are impenetrable, but you my friend are like a bulldozer. Great work 👏 take care once again. Cheers 🍻
Stunning Rob .. What an adventure 💕👍
Looks miserably wet. Huge effort Rob!
Man you are an absolute stud bashing through the Bush great adventure so far Have a great day and bash on
This episode is next level Bro!!
Awesome scenery of creek and of the Jane!
The rapids would have been fun.😬
Great Vid man!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Some beautiful Tassie bush Rob👍
Just gets better and better, can’t wait to watch the finale!!
Thanks Kent!
Amazing scenery Rob. Those Huon pines were almost fluorescent
Wow! Incredible adventure Rob, thank you for sharing with us. Such amazing wilderness.
Fantastic scenery and great video Rob...Tasmania is hard to beat..
That was fantastic mate...👍👍👌👌
Stunning!!!!!
Epic Rob we are lucky to live in this place 💪
Awesome adventure, thanks for bringing us along. Looked like a very wet couple of days for this leg
An epic adventure. Thanks for all your efforts, thoroughly enjoying this and all your other series🏆
18M:03S you made me yawn too!
What a totally magical place.
Wow! A lot of brush to go through once again. Hope it gets better for you❤️
a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
What a journey! Appreciate the hard work that goes into producing this quality upload. 🙏
Jawdroppingly gobsmacking scenery....complete contrast to the historical record
Incredible forest!! I'd have reached up to brush past that huon pine too. Idk how you still had the energy to though ☺🙌
So i see the terrain you hike and hardcore as it is it makes me wish l wasn't old and riddled with arthritis but when l saw the wet and cold you went through in this video with the leech climbing your collar to your neck as you sat in tent talking to the camera it sort of made me feel glad l am old and riddled with arthritis.
I, thank you Rob, Tas is the best , and no better to see it is with you , you've got this 👏👏👏👏
It's journeys like yours that invoke memories of our own past adventures and give feelings of our accomplishments. Crossing a knife edge in a fog @ 5000' or my first 100' rock face repel.
You have that special ability.
Nice little leach coming in for a kiss and cuddle on that rainy morning scene almost made it to your nose 😬
Beautiful scenery 💚
Thanks for sharing, epic adventure Rob, what a great job you did pushing through
This trip has been an epic, Rob - what a gutsy effort to tackle it, let alone by yourself. Rafting down the Jane reminded me of the half dozen trips I did down the Franklin in the late eighties, early nineties. Beautiful countryside...
Ive been so looking forward to this....
Outstanding!!!
Awesome episode Rob. That little pack raft is as tough as an old boot. It's awesome
It was until a rat chewed it on my last night on the Gordon River! I have since repaired it hopefully its still tough!
yay I got the 500th like in. well done again Rob.
OMG, Rob. What an amazing journey through some of the most dense and inhospitable country I have ever seen in my life. How did you survive such an epic journey mate? Simply incredible.
Congrats on 10k mate
You can have those leechs.... 😂 Stunning spot where you dropped in on the packy.
Again another amazing episode!! Thank you so much for your hard work!!!
Brilliant video once again,Rob. What an amazing journey
Great stuff man
Wonderful trek, really enjoying the history and landscape, thanks so much for all your efforts in sharing this with us 👏👏
Epic Tasmanian adventure time!
What another crackin adventure Rob
Thanks!
Epic trip Rob 👌🤘👍
when your older and super duper famous remember I am your number one fan!!!! I don't want this series to end! I've been reading the explorers of Western tasmania and I reckon you will be the next they write about!! woohoo!!❤
@@Mark-rc4wz OMG!! YES!! My goodness gracious me, this is my dream adventure!! I'm obsessed with Pearce..

That first view of the Jane, OMG relief! Nice little entry point in the overhang too!
As a Canadian, I would have to stop and fish the Jane before moving on
The Salty Sage makes a return ...... and yes too much time on my hands .....
