What an awesome job Frank! One of the greatest videos done. For all of us that don’t go there thank you for what you do. Love to see the history behind the mining industry, and all the hard work and effort spent to do that.

[@gusgreen3104]

Thanks for your continual sharing of what most will never see.

[@barbararobinson7980]

Congratulations Frank! The documentary is AWESOME - well worth waiting for. The footage is so crisp and vivid, and the sound is super clear and it has all been put together beautifully. I absolutely loved it. I like that you told the story of how your interest began and progressed. The history of the towns and the mines. I have always loved those scenic landscape shots, as well as all the amazing artefacts, machinery, miners art and fantastical rock formations and colours. The documentary brought everything together and really portrays you and what you do Frank. Well done you, and the team that worked with you on this. Thank you Frank, I thoroughly enjoyed your documentary and really appreciate all your hard work on and off camera and that you shared this with your KZbin subscribers. Wishing you good luck and hoping that this is picked up by one of the big networks. Take care and stay safe.

Hi Frank, I am so darn proud of you. All of the hard work you have put in over the years, all of the ups and the downs you have had, all of the experience gained has now given you the recognition you so richly deserve. I am so happy for you, you have achieved so much and now finally people are starting to take notice of this. Congratulations and a huge hug from. xxx

This is better than what they have on the discovery channel sooooo good please keep up the great content. Love It!!!!

[@georgeredbranch652]

You r a natural. Easy to listen to, the viewer can tell you are passionate about what you do, without being full of yourself. We have a relatively short history of mining in Tasmania, and we're not short of ghost towns. My wife and l try to photograph these old places before they are gone. These areas were the life blood of so many families in their day. It's important to document as much as you can for future generations. Great video as always mate

I have had a fascination with mines and tunnels since I was a child. The idea of entering in one place and emerging in another. I have only found one coal mine and it is located in the city of Edmonton surprisingly. The entrance has since been collapsed and sealed. Still I had a rare glimpse into this city's history. Your the absolute King of underground exploration. I have gained so much knowledge and respect for how dangerous this is. I would love to see some of these sights if only on the surface. GREAT content with superior information. Cheers on your success and hope you have many more.
