[@uthumanhameed]

[@formhubfar]

16:20.., its that attention to detail that has endeared you'se to so many of us, your appreciation of the finer things that most of us miss, and I want to thank you both for your humility and empathy to this world around us all.

[@jamest6837]

so true my friend! perfect sentiment..hey pasky, love your boots!

[@annhysell6064]

Exactly why u two & Free Range is my favorite, also 6:36. Remember where & what you are doing. Be safe & prepared.

[@trumpetmano]

Something not heard every day..."I got bit by a Wombat"... Your face when you said that...

[@christopherharlow5475]

Great film & music work. Pascal got a wombat love bite.:-)

[@peterdwyer1598]

Your "Bit by a Wombat" story is like my "Bit by a Shark" story. Many years ago I was on Dangar Island in the Hawkesbury River at a friends weekender. Some locals had caught some small sharks nearby and put them on the local wharf. I used my foot to try to turn one so I could see the mouth and my big toe brushed against a tooth and drew some blood. So 60 years later and now living in Canada I still talk about the time I got "Bit by a Shark". Recently became a Patron and really enjoy your videos and lifestyle.

Very Beautiful ☺👍

[@naviramos]

What a great chapter, wonderful. Thanks guys! Fortunate wombat the one who bit you! 😊

Great episode T&P, thank you! 🙂

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure!

[@doug1030]

Thank you for that !!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You're welcome!

[@budawang77]

Wombat borrows are something to behold. They can be wide enough for a small human to go down them.

[@maximilliankrause5286]

Very cool, thank you

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Very welcome

[@atschris]

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a wombat! Not what i expected. What an awesome place.

[@pearville37]

I very much enjoyed your hike a lesson on Wombats. Who knew their pouches were upside down. Thanks for including us in your adventures.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure!

[@EvilUnderTone]

What a great place! It's amazing when you think at the top of Everest there are sea fossils. So even at 29,000ft above sea level you'll find evidence of life dating back 65,000,000 years. Then there are the white cliffs of Dover. All dead sea creatures. We are but a breath on this planet. Glad you are making the most of it! Take care.

[@chrisrobertson916]

Even though I'm 50+ and have traveled Australia extensively, I learn something new every episode, love your channel. Keep hearing Chris Janson's soundtrack ringing in my ears "By me a boat" Ha ha.....

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad to hear it!

[@rorytennes8576]

You guys are a great couple. Good to see people who do so well together. I got chills at the scenery

[@michaelflaherty6096]

Very well done. With each episode you are becoming more like cinematographers than youtubers.

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Great Video Thanks for taking us along. Looks like a beautiful place to explore

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Pittwater Mowing , how’s it going, been doing any sailing ?

Jeez! I was getting the willies just watching you both walk on those rocks. Quite a drop.

[@alisonstead-spiritualmediu7115]

So was I!! Beautiful, stunning scenery though ☺

Places like that that humbles you makes you realize just how small and insignificant we are to this world .

Love this video.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you!

Beautiful shots!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad you think so!

[@GregMcAdam]

Thanks folks, really enjoyed this one. Another spot added to the list.

[@malcolmrowe1794]

Lovely video yet again. Those wombats look adorable, nice to see a place where man lets nature get on with it. The view from the top is epic, not a place to slip!!

[@trumpetmano]

Hiking again!!!!! Very nice. We missed you two getting out in the boonies... Thanks for sharing...

[@Roly679]

'Boonies' never heard of that before had to Google it, from youtube you can learn a new word from some where else in the world every day

[@trumpetmano]

@@Roly679 Or "Living out in the Sticks"... you guys call it the Bush or Outback...LOL

Another great one, thank you both!

Fabulous as always! Thanks for sharing.

[@josephoconnor9675]

Great geology and botany field trip.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bobjarrard]

Well - hit the wrong key!!! I also have had running backs, diamond jumpers and all the rest. In the long run, your rig is a sound choice and your genny seems to be up to the task. Glad you got to port and all is well. Bob

[@sailingonchallanger4024]

Hi, I think this is my number two favorite place you have been, the Kimberlys being my first. I found both of them fascinating, both the history and the geology. Thanks, Dan R

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Ours too

[@dww0013]

I agree with Andys comment. So simple in the details you see yet soo entertaining. Why do I feel like you guys could win awards at a film festival?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We get all the accolades we want from you guys

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

MISSING YOU TWO!!

[@regiebmoc9590]

As always a great and informative production. No fear of heights for you two! My knee were going mushy just watching.

[@seaweed1992]

Amazing! Thanks🤗😊 wish you two the best

[@davehayes9648]

Oh I see, this week we are proudly sponsored by Doc Martens. And bulldozer wombats. Great episode - thanks!

[@radical.chatter]

Very nice all the way through! Thank you for sharing your experiences!!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure

[@scottswineford6714]

Magnificent episode!!! Thank you both!

[@BillB23]

Thanks for another great episode. As always, your musical selections fit like a kid glove. Fair winds and following seas.

[@cameronurquhart1515]

Wow, my feet started to tingle when you reached the top and showed the camera shot straight down. Thanks for your videos - they are so inspirational and interesting. Cheers

[@FreeRangeLiving]

lol, I get the exact same reaction to heights.

[@rodney106]

This video is why I come to KZbin

[@kimhynes544]

Wow so beautiful just like you 2 and so well done .Kimbo

[@AlA-ok5jh]

Very interesting place. Lots of history. Wonder if the wombats are a food source ....maybe big birds of prey. Gee no shortage of criminals ... That was great scenery from the peaks...and a good workout up and down. Yous must of slept well after that hike. Wombat motto song goes like this: Eat non stop 22 hrs...sleep 1 hr....wake up and poo 1 hr !!!!

[@joebrown1382]

Very nice I love when you walk about. Wombats what an unusual pouch. Those cliff formations look like stacked columns very beautiful view from there. Thanks

[@327365hp]

Another beautifully crafted episode. That was well worth the climb to the top! I was getting winded just watching you! Stunning scenery. I especially like the reflection in the window of your boat!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Awesome, thank you!

[@williambunting803]

This footage is a true treasure. I have shared it every where. Thankyou!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Wow, thank you!

[@briangarcia8986]

Thank you for taking us along.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure!

[@howardjameson]

Thanks for the video. Lockdown in urban UK means seeing somewhere else is really special. I remember aged 6 or 7 and my Aunt in Oz sent me a book 'The muddle headed wombat in the tree tops' which I used to love. Enjoyed this episode and thought of her.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

That book is still beloved by children here today!

[@grahammewburn]

I definitely want to visit Maria Island. Thank you for showing us around. Cheers Gray Brisbane Australia

[@timspurge7448]

Congratulations on yet another excellent video. The combination of scenery together with description of the location and wildlife paints a vivid picture of a place we have yet to visit. A good antidote to our boat being out of the water on lockdown.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We hope you can get back out on the water soon!

[@Viper_Poker]

The wombats are so adorable, I just want to sit there and hand feed them baby carrots all day .... 😏 The island itself is gorgeous thank you so much for sharing this adventure.....🌹❤🌹

[@stijndeklerk]

Cycled around Tasmania and also Maria Island, takes me back.

[@richardshippful]

What a charming episode. Quite the Cliffhanger at the end.

[@cyclomaniac9086]

Beautiful....

[@garyc5483]

What a fantastic place for a hike. Loved the episode. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Fair winds & regards from the UK

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Many thanks!

[@paulkeys175]

And another great episode, you two really are great.

[@whotknots]

Years ago I read an article on fleas in a National Geographic magazine which stated that Wombat Fleas are the largest fleas in the world.

[@iakkatz128]

Spectacular! enough said.

[@klemenprezelj]

Amazing place! Wombats are super cute

[@sailingddcircumnavigation5931]

Zero gravity environment Troy? LOL

[@whotknots]

Some exceptional footage guys, thanks very much!

[@JS-wl3gi]

Love the commentary and wildlife

[@yakekaj]

Nice bit of home schooling history lesson! I like how our countries are so different yet so closely linked by history (although not all of it good). Looks like it has been worthwhile leaving the tropics, what a stunning place...!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad you enjoyed it RA

[@oldbloke204]

Sent a link to this one to a mate of mine in the US that is besotted with Wombats. I'm pretty sure she will love this video. Thanks guys for another great video.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for sharing!

A crucial point

I always enjoy your videos so much, but the wombats were an extra bonus!

Glad you like them!

I love Maria Island.

[@gunghoadventures871]

Awesome 👍

[@blueskyredkite]

Hey, Pascal needs some better boots. DMs aren't the most practical for that terrain. Thank you for sharing the spectacular scenery, and the wonderful wombats. My wife doesn't share my love of sailing, but she enjoyed your wildlife footage. Thanks again.

[@ronniehoffman8332]

Troy is that a goat that steps from behind the rock at 17:12? Sure hope so! lol... Super video, something for everyone here! 👍👍

[@gaflaview6476]

Stupendous!!!

[@howardbutler6523]

Up at the top, you were both like a pair of loving doves on a roof or tree branch. Your love is wonderful. I love your smiles. Heart goes all goooey when I see you both. Keep safe and happy.

[@jmo4021]

Thanks for showing the Wombats in there natural environment. I never knew about the pouch, that's really different. I'd love to see a Tasmanian Devil, as I've only seen rare photos.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

So would we, still hanging to see one in the wild.

[@ushillbillies]

Thank You, one could travel for 5 lifetimes and not see all the great sights of the world . Excellent videography !!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad you enjoyed it. Very true about not seeing it all so we try to see what we can realy really well!

[@earthwizz]

Thanks for taking us on your excellent adventures. Wombats are certainly single minded and that extends to their customary pathways. If you want to know how single minded, try putting up a mesh fence or a tent on one, they will just go straight through. You can identify their paths by their scats which are rectangular in cross section. I've no idea why they're rectangular but I have a theory. Since they don't deviate from their paths, if the scats were round they'd roll to one side or the other and they'd step in them. Disclaimer; it's possible that theory isn't true. Q. What do you play with a wombat? A. Wom.

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

Sounds like an excellent game. How do you play it? What are the rules? 😉

[@earthwizz]

@@sailingmoonshadow3169 Take your wom and hit it with your bat. There are points for style and bonus points for personal injury and literary eloquence.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Don't try hitting crickets with the appropriate bat

[@earthwizz]

@@FreeRangeLiving That could be fatal. Still, you'd get a lot of points.

[@mikechaplin3821]

Wow great camera shots. All your Tassie vlogs has inspired me to sail their too in the near future. 😀

You should!

Some one ask a question about sailing around Australia on Facebook and wanted to know did anyone do video and your Free Range Sailing can up 9 times out of 10. Every one well 85% of then said to watch you guys.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Represent!

[@paulkeys175]

Hey Refus and friend, dont get too attached to that place or you might have to stay for the term of your natural life. I read that book and the mariah passage as a teenager, I could not sleep for a week it was so disturbing.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Lots of history there that we're glad not to be a part of (till now)

[@petermcnaughton9031]

I loved the view from the top of the mountain, but I must say had funny feelings in tummy when close to the edge , love the animals on the island , great work guys , keep safe

[@miltas8837]

Another delightful episode. It’s always extra special when a place you hold dear and have special memories of is highlighted. Your footage of the wombats is just delightful. There certainly weren’t that many wombats on my first trip as a high school student in the 70’s and I have never been bitten by one during any subsequent trips. The corby grubs did make a mess of my groundsheet though. I appreciate your attention to detail across all areas of geographical features, wild life and history. The height of the cliffs and gaps between the rocks atop Bishop and Clerk are vertigo inducing. Not sure if you had time, but Mt Maria is also well worth the climb. It is a joy to watch your explorations. 💕

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Corby Grubs?

[@fishaholiclures]

@@FreeRangeLiving Troy, like a Bardie, or Whitchity, laval form of some winged insect. Not sure of the food potential there, but sure Pasc could make a Corbie Curry LOL

[@miltas8837]

Free Range Sailing Corby grubs are lawn grubs that feed on grass roots and organic matter in the soil. The campsite at Maria Is use to be down beside the creek on a lovely area of lawn. When fully grown in winter corby grubs are about 15 mm long. They are widespread and serious pests of pasture in Tasmania especially in coastal areas and on well-drained, light soils. At night they emerge to feed on the foliage of clovers, grasses and some weeds. And as I found, also plastic ground sheets. I think I may have cut off their air supply. My army green ground sheet with orange tape repairs lasted many a year after! 😉

[@Gold_Hunt_Australia]

Love the wombats.

[@klouism1]

Great video. Thank you. Me and Heights do not get along too well so I probably wouldn't climb to the top. Pretty spectacular view though. Thanks again.

[@gjeess1]

Great video guys, except the bit where your legs were hanging over a cliff - I still felt nauseated! Our great land and all its wonderful fauna and flora, we are extremely lucky - thanks for sharing.
