[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

​@@gorillagoldhunters I'm glad you made this comment, I will look into your content and if I like what I see I'll make a few shorts about it and promote your channel. With AI starting to take over I believe it is extremely important for people to network and promote one another. Looking forward to checking out your stuff and I'll let you know if I make a short out of it. 👁️👍

[@dcsc1]

No way Rob! I've finally just cottoned on with your surname. In your family pic scene, I recognise Tim in the back at Curringha. We're in the local fire brigade together. Haha what a small world! 😄 Massive congrats on the decision to homestead. 👌

[@NuggetNinjaAdventures]

I think I speak for everyone that we’re thrilled you chose your adventure/ prospecting journey rather than a party life style. It’s a real treat when you release your content. The journeys, the gold you find, your knowledge and video editing skills is amazing. Thank you 🙏

[@carloszamora8475]

How do you not have 26.01million subscribers, you are a great Australian storyteller

[@wellsjdan]

Happy fathers day rob...love that you dont drink....it makes your life toxic...your a great dad because of the changes you made

[@laviniawoollard2223]

One word...AWESOME..

[@sarahlydiate2113]

This is such a beautiful inspiring video. October 2023 I had my baby boy. This is the dream and the kind of life I aspire to live with him. It brought me to tears watching the love and joy you expressed about your beautiful family and amazing life you live!!! ❤ I love love your videos.

[@poorfellamycountry]

Welcome to forest life 😊 rule number one is have two water pumps, two water sources and two power sources.

[@lesflynn4455]

Inspirational stuff. I'm really impressed with what you did tandoori your previous home and selling it for a motza. Well done to both of you. It was undoubtedly a huge joint effort with your better half doing her thing whilst building another human being inside. That's huge. It's a great video dude. I'll be happy to subscribe to your new channel.

[@allan9603]

Rob your viewers here in the US are proud of you, and respect all you do for us subs, and your dedication to your family.

[@katodonnell7923]

My husband and I loved this property and were also trying to buy but just couldn’t sell in time. Very much meant for you and your family. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. That home is going to be stunning with tlc and your finishing touches.

[@sandicoppins]

Thanks to you I've really fallen in love with Tasmania and it's history. Thank you Rob🙏♥️😊

[@benw5691]

I've been sober for almost 3 years and my wife almost 2. The best decision we ever made for us and young kids!

[@davidberriman5903]

I am so pleased for the three of you. You really are a remarkable family. What a lucky little boy to have parents like you.

[@silence5071]

This is an absolute beautiful story

[@jackielanglois8945]

Congrats to you and your family. The most satisfying part of life is creating your world the way you want it.

[@viktorkolesnik7248]

Это великолепно, ребята вы молодцы, я рад за вас. ❤

[@leahmonkey]

Your living the same life as my husband and I....out bush either gold detecting weekly or fishing...I'm scared to think of what life will be like when they have to go to school..Hopefully we will have sold our house by then and maybe they can go to a country school..I have never understood people that work so much that they have no time to live...Love that you found someone that thinks the same as you...

[@alinabriggs5351]

Hi Rob. I spent Xmas day with my Mum, watching your adventures. We live in QLD, and Tassie was a favourite holiday for my parents. Dad is no longer with us, so Mum enjoyed reminiscing bout their travels to Tassie. She loved your videos. We have an old mate in Tassie, Graeme, he has told us many stories of the old times there, several of which you covered in your adventures. Thank you for the content, you made our Xmas day just perfect. I'm now looking forward to catching up with your new adventures of life with your beautiful family. Merry Christmas.

[@RD-hm5rf]

YOU are AMAZING, Rob! I have been binge-watching Your videos for a week and I can't even tell you,,, Freaking unbelievable... truly. Please be safe and happy😊💛🙏

[@AlanRogers-to7sq]

Congrat\s on your big move it's a nice feeling being debt free in a place you truly feel is home, I thoroughly enjoy your exploits in our beautiful Tasmania

[@DestinationOffroad]

Wow oh wow, what an amazing sight to see. Will sub straight after this comment. We are in the process of moving our self. After lossing my wife in April, I made sure I secured my family home. We will be renovating it to be what my wife would have called her dream house. Great work legends.

[@stephenmurphy1111]

Good for you three. Have a good life

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

That’s amazing news Rob , can’t wait to follow your beautiful family and your new journey ❤

[@toots4jesus]

Excellent job on the house and getting what you asked for in 5 days wow. And I’m so glad for you Rob that you stopped partying. Thats huge and awesome. You’re an adorable couple.

[@paulwhatreally]

I've followed you because you have worked so hard and with so much determination. You deserve every success and happiness you have made. Cheers!

[@martinstallard6173]

awesome love the dream. very inspirational.

[@peterlyall6789]

Well done Rob you and your wife and child are moving finally into civilization...Meaning the peace and tranquillity of the rural area near forest and mountains. Your doing what I'd had wished I had done many decades ago but failed for various reasons. No matter I'm happy now and content with what I got......Pete from Devonport.

[@sambiwan-kanobi]

Good on ya Rob. Great to see people following their passions and making dreams become reality. We reap what we sow 👍

[@adriantaylor741]

Hi Rob, I’ve been watching your stories and adventures for a couple of years and feel like I know you as a friend, just from listening to your voice and watching the stories. I love to see you follow your dreams and I’m envious I can’t get to the places you visit. I love Tassie. Great to see you finding your true vocation and happiness with Erin. Adrian, Brisbane.

[@topdownunder2011]

Congrats Rob, you totally deserve it for all the hard work you've done over the years. All the best to you and your family on your new journey

[@colinmucho-oro4099]

Best wishes from scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤞👍

[@judithtaylor6916]

Congratulations Rob, Erin and gorgeous Scout. A Lovely piece of paradise and hopefully debt free. Thank you for including us all in the next chapter of your life journey. For the water, upgrade your house pump with water filters for taste and smell. Attach sifter boxes on the downpipes to have cleaner water in your tanks.

[@Astrol589]

Dam Dude, you brought a tear to my eyes, I managed to give up the recreational stuff and drink but never found the right chick or the right gold deposits, I’m proud of you and congratulations on taking life my the horns and and finding your path. Your vids are great, they get me off the couch and into wherever you’re filming, sometimes I’m so entrenched in your gold finds that my hands start doing the movements of panning the gold. Good luck Bro. Cheers from the main land 👍

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Happy story. Good on you guys! May the living be sweet, and the time together sweeter still. I was lucky buying a back-block 25 years ago. Cheap as chips back then. I'm of Scots, Irish, Italian heritage, and 59 years solid Aussie. New South Welsh, but the first time I laid eyes on Tassie, I knew she was my family's future. Have dream, make it so. My little pile is up Loongana, high up the Leven River. Hope I run into your magic family down there sometime.

[@Andrew-pr9jd]

Hey Rob, You are living the dream! - I love your work and your adventures are truly amazing. Please keep them coming. I'm just renovating my late mother home for sale - I know what you went through.

[@jhallack7491]

Awesome job, beautiful dream...

[@rockyofusa1]

Man how heart warming of a story

[@geoffeagar9395]

Congratulations you three. Looks like a wonderful life ahead.

[@james7149]

Rob, you have a remarkable way with words, absolutely exceptional in the way you’ve described your life journey to date. You stand as a beacon of hope for many younger people in battling the rapids of life. It’s time we all put our bank and mortgage realities on the discussion table. For society to have reached this untenable situation of working to feed the bank more profits is a disgrace in any civilised society. The one thread that shines through in your story is that love is the most powerful way we can overcome all challenges and achieve our goals to make a better life. Well done mate👏

[@kengilmore4384]

Well done young man! I've been sober since 2007 and I will say life has been very good to me since.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Wow. Well done. Will be watching your other channel with interest.

[@curtis761130]

beautiful people with amazing land we have in Tasmania, Congrats to you and your family. Hope we have chance to meet in the future.

[@harryholt666]

Thank you Rob a massive inspiration - just about to look for Robinsbrook Homestead!❤

[@santonucci]

Looks amazing, and hoping the best for your family on Father's Day!

[@gabivalla6279]

Thanks again Rob for sharing your journey, from the start, and congratulations on the cusp of beyond 100,000 subscibers to the channel! We'd love to see some more on the 200 years of lineage of the family in Tasmania, and much respect to the love and devotion for the artefacts, heritage skills, lore and local knowledge, all you good Taswegians display. Best wishes to you, Erin, Scout and the community you'll be at home in. 👍

[@jonmarston4166]

Well done, congratulations. May all your dreams come true. ❤🙏🏼

[@6packcrusinAUS]

All the best , no banks sounds good 👌 we live in a debt free bus travelling Tassie... Best thing ever

[@denileriver]

firetrap knock some of that vegetation back there is also some product that you can coat your wood home in fireproofing in the event of forest fire. looks awesome.

[@lachlanscanlan5621]

You chose life and love, excellent

[@cliffmartin8917]

Congratulations on your new home and new life.

[@donavanjones9882]

Hey mate I cried watching this ...powerful piece of content . This is the dream for so much of us young Aussies you are showing us it can be done. I hope it pans out for you and family keep kicking ass brother

[@pippacarron1861]

A ship in the harbour rots away eventually ... Robinsbrook Homestead looks fabulous. Thanks for taking us along on your next adventure.

You are very BRAVE! ❤

[@SavageProspecting]

Absolutely awesome! Congratulations on making your dream a reality. I'll be subscribing asap👌

[@hadzijasmin]

Goodluck Rob to you and your family. Greetings from other side of the world!

[@simplylifeau]

Just caught up on this Rob, congrats and awesome move, massive effort to make the transition. Look fwd to checking out the new channel. Parenthood can certainly help you change gears, enjoy 👍

[@carolynrose9522]

When you think of your past relatives you can’t help but know it’s in your DNA for the lifestyle you’re finding. Plus, it makes sense when you do the number crunching, that no one can sustain paying off a loan for 77 years with likely further repayment changes pushing that out even further. Live the dream. Wishing you Erin and Scout every bit of happiness and success possible. Will definitely join you on the new channel.

[@cmccmc3306]

Love everything you do and videos. Appreciate the pure honesty and passion of this one particularly. Good luck on this exciting life you are creating

[@grahameroberts8109]

Thank you three for sharing. 👍🏻🙏🦘

Awesome story , love this journey .❤

[@haroldludwick6423]

Thats beautiful brother!! ...I wish you, Erin & young Scout the very best. The country is the best for a child to be raised, my father carved a place out of the bush where hectares of bush was our playground, and resource for food. Much Love & Respect!!

[@terry8728]

Wow, I did some research work on your ancestor a few years back, recognised the surname but didn't realise you were a descendant! I hope you guys got your power back and are back in your new home!

[@FZ-TAS]

Very best wishes to your family and may your health and paradise be with you always :)

[@robsagi2461]

Beautiful story Rob congratulations you found the perfect balance in life. 55y/o I’ve done all types of prospecting,by far sniping is the best.👌

[@judioliver8082]

Wonderful. Made me cry. All the very best to you. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomkalleske3475]

Thanks Rob for a truly inspiring video, and congratulations on securing your piece of Tassie paradise! Also 100k subs will be so well earned 🎉

Beautiful dream, beautiful family, beautiful homestead, you guys are now truly living the life so many crave. Wishing you all peace, luck and fulfilment in your new home.

[@BIGT-fn6fr]

I cannot wait for more adventures with you. I'm watching on youtube I will join your new channel. It's been fun watching you.

[@jimmymccartan369]

God Bless you Rob and your beautiful family. Please don't ever look back, move forward with an open heart to keep your dreams alive. May Blessings

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

Rob I am so happy for you! You are such a good example to everyone but especially young men. The hours I have spent watching you and Levi track through the thickest tazzy brush even inspires me, and I know I could not make it through that rainforest. I'm going to make a short to promote your channel in hopes that more people will discover your hard work and passion. Keep up the great work brother and I'll keep on being here for it! 👁️🙏👍🔔

[@AnthonyWalsh-d9x]

Congratulations guys, good luck 👍

[@Oldmanwithagoldpan]

Wow.. Great place to raise your son Rob.. and congratulations on living the dream man. Happy Father's day, May your pan of life be filled with big smiles and many blessings.

[@PlantCrazyMom]

Hey Rob. YT's algorithm led me to your homestead first. I was amazed by the stunning work you did on the first two videos. The storytelling was impressive and smooth too. I thought this wasn't the work of amateurs. And lo, as I was reading the comments, one said of your other channel. Unfortunately, there was no link there. This just popped in my feed. YT's algorithm picked on my interest in your videos. So here I am, starting to watch all your vids, in my sweet slow time. Thank you for providing us some good read, if I may say, in the not-so-old times when there's no YT, only good books.

[@peggysmith5202]

Look at you. I’m fairly a newly sub here. Say 5 months? Love watching all ur gold content. Now I find u have a sweet family!! I’m there!!!!

[@cordellkent4790]

Rob Parsons for Tasmania, what a wonderful adventure. I always like your narratives, and thank you for including us, your public.

[@katehall1104]

Such a beautiful story

[@markbroomhall2706]

Just a plain and simple Thank you from the bottom of my heart you touched. A genuine Tassy Icon .Thanks, Rob, Erin, and Scout

[@ozzyalchemist8806]

Congrats Rob, I hear ya, found my happy place in the outback, Joining your Homestead channel for sure, I'm on a bush block with caravan, love it! 👍⛏️🤠✌️🇭🇲

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Congrats on a major scale there Rob & Erin first on the birth of Scout he looks so adorable and Secondly for all the huge major efforts into renovating your home and buying the new home it looks outstanding. It kind of wipes away the negative part of all that drama yourself and Levi had with Parks and Wildlife or whatever they are called down there in Van Diemans land aka Tasmania. All the very best to your family.

[@gertsy2000]

All the best with the new adventure.

[@KevinAxt-om5on]

Congratulations to you and your family. Looks like a great location and home to live in.

[@author-1974]

Парень, Ты БОЛЬШОЙ , ОЧЕНЬ БОЛЬШОЙ МОЛОДЕЦ! Так держать ! Вдохновленный твоим примером, в ближайшее время тоже еду на реку - я живу в регионе, где много золота и камней в горной местности. Привет из России.

[@davebarns1]

Good on you two 👍🏻

[@Aussie-e5s]

I can relate to a lot of this about giving away the booze & smoking for getting outdoors more. I found that my reward system changed and my nervous system reset itself. I was getting the same and/or better high from hiking and riding trails with my dog as i did with the weekend substances. My vibe i was giving off has changed and things happen with ease now. Its great to see you choose to make big changes and the progress you've made. This is very inspiring to keep chasing my dreams. Thanks for making this video. It would of been hard to tell those personal stories to the world. P.S. did you have a hover hand over the upload button before uploading this? 😅

[@shanewilliams7742]

It totally true, we make dreams happen. Congratulations Sir

[@Starni-lr3ml]

Beautiful story mate, as a young 24 year old myself, this is honestly the dream life. Big inspiration Rob, cheers.
