Exploring Upstream for Alluvial Gold

In this video I paddle upstream of the old gold mining town of Corinna in search of gold leftover in the streams and creeks. Paddling up the mirror reflexion Pieman River past the rare and endangered Huon Pine trees I drag the kayak up some small rapids to some old gold workings of the years since past.

Rob. I’ve just been binge watching your Videos. Got to say your productions are absolutely astounding. You are a hidden talent that showcases Tassie and National Parks has done Australia an immense disservice.

[@chrisgolfer7528]

Thanks again Rob. Yet another video to show the true beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness.

[@shane_kyliehamilton251]

Stunning vid mate, I love your ability to bring a person on your journey and make them feel like they are there with you.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Love the clear skies the Corinna reflections and the clear water of that creek, nice day out mate

[@BorneoGirlAdventure]

It's very cool sharing, bro... 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hardyakka6200]

when we had clay to break down I found it easy to dry it out , break it up then dissolve it. Otherwise, the olde timers had puddlers built here and there on the gold fields powered by a horse walking in circles.

[@brodieburke7682]

I've watch almost every single vid. Mate your an inspiration. You've inspired me and I bet heaps of others

[@MrMarkar1959]

👍🏼G'Day Mr.Parsons,,I believe You are 100% correct on the Amazing Beauty. Gotta thank Levi for turning me on to Your channel. Best of Luck Forever with Your Ventures and Good Fortune. Stay Safe and Beers to Ya🍺

[@jophegan2821]

[@peterlyall6789]

A beautiful stunning area is Corinna and Kayaking along the Pieman river with trees on either side I have to say Rob can't get better than that....Pete from Devonport... 🚢

[@rossneich6544]

Great content. Enjoy your history story telling and wonderful photography.

[@chaoslab]

I love the smell of the forest too Rob, it is one of the most beautiful things.

[@tommclachlanmclachlan7166]

Great Video bud looking forward to seeing what the summer has in store for you and for us going along on your adventures.

[@Bendover-pz1sx]

5.19 duke willie was talking to ya. They follow me through the bush. A good friend to have when your on your own . Love the vids mate

[@SeMoArtifactAdventures]

Thanks for Sharing. That was a cool spot. We don’t have much gold we’re I live but there are a lot of old silver and lead mines. Most have been blown shut.

[@jackgartlan]

Hi Rob, I just wanted to leave a massive thank you for your excellent videos. My grandfather Robin Young has just passed away, he was a keen subscriber of your channel and fondly talks about your videos to all of those who share his interests. You brought him such joy being able to bring him along on your adventures in his beloved Tasmanian wilderness. Wishing you all the best for 2023, and looking forward to the next video.

[@Rob.Parsons]

Hey Jack, I'm very sorry it has taken me some time to read your comment. I remember Robin quite well, in fact I would dare say he was one of my most engaging subscribers, he left a comment on nearly every one of my videos. I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing and wish you and your family well during the time of healing. Thanks for letting me know mate that means a lot to know you thought of telling me.

[@freesocialrockclimbing]

Being out there is gold, Conical rocks, and Granville Harbour holds good memories. The colours are so vivid down there, it must be the UV Adam Edington

[@melnickharris1177]

What a wonderful peace of Tasmania have to get back there soon 👌👌

[@markinnes9843]

Another awesome vid Rob ❤ the Pieman 😊👍👍👍

[@rosshunter9053]

Such idiotic conditions, so still, so tranquil on the river. I’m missing the Tassie bush already. Cheers

[@ldcj2011]

Hi Rob, love your work mate. I’m a bit of a historian on the Bermagui Mystery. In Oct 1880 Lamont Young, a NSW Geological Surveyor was ‘apparently’ heading to Corunna Lake to survey a potential gold deposit. He never made it, along with four other souls. They disappeared never to be found, thus far. Lamont visited Montreal Goldfields before his disappearance. Be a great retrace exploration story to tell … and maybe, discover the Mystery of Mystery Bay (NSW). Throw me a message if interested. Simon

[@Rob.Parsons]

G'day Simon thats pretty fascinating mate. I'll have a read up on it and get back to you. Email me at [e-mail] if you have any interesting documents regarding it. Cheers

[@ldcj2011]

@@Rob.Parsons Hi Rob, great mate, I have heaps of stuff I could send your way. I will scrummage around my files and get a bit of a intro package together. I should be able to email it before the weekend is out. Happy hunting out there, I am really enjoying your channel. Simon

[@amaram4217]

Dude! I'd love to join one of the adventures! Love the videos!

[@terry8728]

I hear wet suit's and ride-on mowers don't go too well! Looks like you could do with an upgrade too!

[@shevaunlorne2234]

The scenery was fantastic. If you back could you possibly kayak to that set of stairs and show us what is there please. I am carer for disabled Husband so will never get there but would love to know.

[@traviscoggins6518]

I was the 1,000th like on this video . Btw, i found your channel today, and I've watched a great bit of your videos. Awesome content

[@terry8728]

Its such a beautiful spot, definitely on my visit list! Great video Rob, your usual excellent standard of footage! Its good to hear you're going to spend a heap more time out in the bush, you're going to take us along with you too right?! 😁

[@gorillagoldhunters]

What an amazing video dude. Like where did u get that camera lol just wow man. Holy moley national geographic!!! Amazing!!!!!!

[@Wello26]

I wonder if that's the same sea eagle that followed us years ago on the Pieman? What a great day you had Rob, beautifully presented always.

[@swampwart6955]

How did you get weather like that on the west coast? Cool drone footage in the forest. Thanks man.

[@joannevieritz3463]

Hi rob. Beautiful scenery once again. Was just wondering, when you could smell the forest, I have a bisistos diffuser oil called “ cradle mountain” . Man , if there was a perfume , I would wear it all day every day. Don’t know if you have ever smelled it, but if you have , is that what Tassie smells like?

[@joannevieritz3463]

Sorry bosisto’s

[@bigears4014]

Your just having to much fun

[@mcmacmcgee]

DO A FLIP!!!!

[@94simonb]

Hey Rob, awesome videos. I was just wondering, on a trip like this, are you following a tip that there is gold there or your own research? Have you done many sniping trips where you come up with no gold? Cheers

[@Rob.Parsons]

I follow old gold rush locations, and have definitely come home with no gold before, although it doesn't happen much these days unless the ground has been really worked recently

[@sallytodd8722]
