Abandoned Gold Mine Found after 3 Days in the Bush

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 KZbin since the last Rob Parsons upload!

[@Rob.Parsons]

Appreciate that mate thank you.

[@CJAtrading]

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. 🤟🏻

[@garypgermain6675]

I am catching up on all your adventures. Looking for more, so i am digging back a ways. Keep up the good work It is an art. By the way love the musical background. USA, New Hampshire

[@Kenneth194]

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.

[@Rob.Parsons]

Thanks guys

[@peter6816]

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]

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

[@davehortin6579]

…and the pleasant and peaceful music playing in the background…

[@davehortin6579]

Thanks so much Rob for sharing this with us!

[@greghooke2409]

That equipment you located showing make and dates etc is invaluable. Now it is recorded digitally and leaves a record for future generations. Well done Rob!

[@glennpayne9103]

Some of the best film making I've seen...fantastic viewing... makes me feel like I'm in the wilderness too...

[@TasdazDownunder]

Mate, love your videos, they are always so epic. Showing off our amazing state, wilderness and places I never knew existed. You do us proud!

[@Rob.Parsons]

Thanks mate!

[@shanedoyle3444]

A beautiful area you are in ,the clarity of the water is unreal and Mr Crayfish is so happy where he lives , Rob you are doing a great job with your video , it is so natural without dramatising , Thankyou.

[@Lee-astrololee]

I swear you were a mountain goat in a past life, the way you traversed that terrain was nothing short of spectacular. Loved this adventure!

[@nathanpunch1502]

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.

[@tyennatim1]

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]

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

[@JD-yv2zx]

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?

[@larrykasiah8852]

Wow if you ever get tired of your day job you are one hell of a historian and cinematographer thanks for sharing Have a great time and prospect on

[@chaoslab]

Feel privileged that you share your escapades with us. That bush, so stunning, rich and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your stoke for adventure with us Rob.

[@ginanoble7203]

Thanks for taking me on this amazing trek,this is what I love about Tasmania

[@caroljohnson8817]

February 2024 here in the States and so happy I found you guys. I saw your adventure at the honey hole. Man you are so brave. I’m following you!!❤

[@peterbuttge7434]

Loved your latest presentation Rob which reminded me so much of my 13 years when I lived at Pyengana in the 1990s. The Blue Tier area with its old mining relics from tin mining and scrub scenery are so similar to the West Coast. You are a lucky fellow to get frequent leave of absence to do what you love, especially as a young married man. Make the most of your time in the bush before Family commitments throw a spanner in the works. 😁

[@ixia515]

I'm from Philippines I enjoy your video... tnx for quality videos

[@Rob.Parsons]

Glad you like them mate thanks for watching

[@martcp71]

Stunning scenery of a side of Tassie I did not know existed. Thanks for taking us along!

[@ZackJacksonAK99654]

You were right there and didn't check that plunge pool at the end! You could have found your bounty down there....lol good luck man! ~ZJAK

[@beaking6799]

Thanks for another epic adventure, Rob. You are amazing! Cheers from an aging expat in Canada.❤️

[@glennwall552]

Thanks for having us along good to see Tassie content. Know that smell thanks again.

[@hasmeadali7316]

Another awesome adventure.. thanks again for taking me along. Please stay safe out there

[@leighanncronin6905]

Thank you Rob! I appreciate the time, effort and adventures you give us to see your beautiful country!🥰

[@tommclachlanmclachlan7166]

As always you do show Tassie off as it should. Your locations are just magical and the amount of work you put in to give us these epic videos just shows how dedicated you are Tasmania. Keep up the good work and i am sure the next one will be just as good.

[@tomellison6875]

You are nailing the cinematography Rob.

[@Rob.Parsons]

[@crosseyedone7960]

Thanks for taking us with you on another fantastic exploration. I always wonder whether you come across many Tiger snakes or the like?

[@Rob.Parsons]

Nah, hardly ever actually. I make too much noise bushbashing!

[@EricStorms]

Thanks Rob! Love the interleaving of history into your adventures!

[@adampurcell7119]

[@Rob.Parsons]

Wow, thanks mate!

[@jdaly1739]

Wow, what Heavenly scenery. And it's refreshing to see a young person approaching its beauty, too. I only recently stumbled on your videos, and now I'm hooked. Fabulous work, young man!

[@janetdTas]

Another great video Rob. Thank you for showing us many places in our amazing state, that most of us will never have the chance to visit. I personally would love to take my children to many of the abandoned places you have been to

[@kerryobrien3110]

New to your channel and I am amazed by your journeys, it take me to places I could never dream of going. I'm in the UK and could never see the beautiful jungles and water ways you travers, thank you for sharing your adventures, it is the most soothing and exciting way to spend time when I'm not able to move around due to medical reasons xx

[@darrenbarone3200]

Amazing Rob. Love your determination and courage exploring such remote parts. Well done. Take care.

[@richardgobbey7687]

[@colinwilson8747]

Super Interesting!!

[@peterblair6489]

I've got scenery like it, just down the street. Damn it's awesome. Western Tasmania is so wild. I love living here. But yeah, it's damn wet.

[@Rob.Parsons]

Lucky man, I love the west!

[@patriciamartinez3047]

Hi Sweetie thank your for the video where you go is so beautiful just please by very careful out there ❤❤❤

[@Rob.Parsons]

Thank you, I will

[@screwthecabal6453]

The sulfides coloring that rusty water to so awesome!!! That's why it's so green there is because of the quartz crystal and the gold and sulfides coming out of the quartz. Quartz has amazing metaphysical properties as well as gold. Gold, in its atomic form has wondrous capabilities. It has the power to prolong life in anything that ingests it. Gold is a "forever" that prolongs life, unlike other metals. Silver is great as in coloidial silver, keeps bacteria away.

[@terry8728]

What a gorgeous place it is, can't wait to see with my own eyes too!

[@emer5104]

Love the videos 🤩 always an Adventure and with Gold Prospecting is great. Also love the inside knowledge and research you provide 😊👍 keep up the great work you do 💗
