[@BillHarrison-c3l]

I bet you are the only person in 50 years that has taken the time out looking for MR Armstrong. Enjoy all your videos

[@nickrosemellia4408]

I’m with you brother keep fighting the new world trash. Without your videos I would have never seen the beauty of Tasmania

[@shanelocke237]

ONYA LEVI-I TOTALLY DIG THE PICS OF THE LANSCAPE.IVE ALWAYS ENJOYED YOUR UPLOADS MATE.

[@GramCanyonSam]

I don't skip a second of your videos

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

Levi, the amount of effort you put into researching, trekking, filming and editing does not go unnoticed. Happy holidays from Washington State, USA. Also, the shot of you jumping was epic! 😂🌲🐿🍄

Much respect for crediting your inspiration sources. Integrity. 🙏🏼

[@TheHogMan]

You're amazing Levi. Keep fighting, my friend, not even a government will overcome a man with your ambition and drive. Love your videos, and especially your commentary.

[@lorinoseworthy4318]

Merry Christmas from Newfoundland Canada. Wishing you peace, love and tranquility in 2024.

[@hunglo4u2]

Hey Levi Your video creation skills have improved dramatically since you started your channel. Your film choreography, editing, dialogue etc. all are first rate. It is a shame that the local forest authorities cant see the value you provide sharing the beauty of back county Tasmania with your 100K+ subscribers. Many of us will never have the opportunity to visit Tasmania and seeing it through your eyes is a true blessing. Keep doing what you love mate and don't let the authorities beat you down. San Antonio, Texas

[@stumped463]

Most people don't realize how tuff the old timers were . Pick and shovel is a hard life . No modern day conveniences . It's a good thing to revisit history so it's not forgotten and a honorable quest to find a old miners last resting place . Great video thanks. Happy Holidays from the central valley of California USA .

[@brendangrray8017]

Please Keep showcasing, the magnificence that Tasmania is,, 99.9999999% of us would never get the scenery & feeling ,, but , for the thanks too you. All the best 👍👍

[@laurafoster297]

This was right up my alley! Love the history! Beautifully filmed and documented Levi, thank you for sharing with all of us! See you in 2024!! 💚

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Outstanding This is the reason I love and watch your videos. There’s no one else in the world taking us back through Tassie history like you. Please keep making your videos for all of us to watch and enjoy and live in the footsteps of our countrymen and women who settled in this country. I hope that one day you get the recognition that you deserve. Thank you so very much.

[@chrisjc6879]

They were very tough old fellas but we would not know much about the history if it were not for people like you Levi . Keep the dream alive 🦸‍♀

[@Chemiolis]

We need more Osmiridium!!!

[@stephenshort839]

Thanks for posting this video. The history is amazing and should NOT BE FORGOTTEN. Nature claims it's due and everything is returned, workings are lost for ever.

[@valeriedeakin9904]

That was awesome!! I lived in the Savage River township when I was about 10 and then again when I was 14, spent most of my time scrambling around in the bush, it's beautiful and I still remember the smell, love all of your vids, keep on keepin on!

[@billbowden74]

Levi, Thank you for yet again another quality film. The effort you put into this is remarkable. It baffles me why the gubberment aren’t supporting what you (and Rob) do. Show casing the beauty Tasmania has to offer. Our history will be lost, all because some inner suburban knobs don’t want a few sticks moved. From me and mine to you and yours Merry Xmas and may you have a safe and prosperous 2024.

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

well said, totally agree!!

[@christian_garcia72]

Hello bro, that expedition you did trying to locate that important history of mining that laid the foundations of what Tasmania is today is impressive. 110 years ago and you were able to find part of the cave and remains of the camps, it's a shame that you couldn't find Mr. William's tomb. It was also all very interesting, thank you very much for sharing that with your followers, we greatly appreciate all the effort.

[@toddrodgers5108]

This one was a great adventure. Thank you for filming what no one will get to see. Blessings

[@jameshatton4211]

Levi this was tops mate 👍 I thoroughly enjoyed watching your exploring man. Thank you for giving us some history lessons and thanks for sharing

[@Normal4fanslers]

Thanks for the journey down under from us up over! Wonderfully edited and documented for others to see and learn from.

[@mickdodd8538]

[@danlindey7368]

I love the history. It's what defines how we got to where we are at right now.

[@michealklonowski5267]

[@Tiagomsdias]

Thank you so much for the videos you make and also, for mentioning a name from a Portuguese guy. Regards from Portugal :)

[@dazbarone]

Unreal Levi. Super well done for trying. Im stuffed just watching you. Merry Christmas!

[@bobbushca797]

YOU decided to bring your paddles along this trip , 😄Amazing country

[@robperano7708]

Awesome Levi.The amount of subscribers you have now is an indication of the quality and enjoyment people get with both yours and Rob's mahi.Don't let the buggers grind you down

[@Gunsgame1966]

Mate this is a fantastic bit of history, I felt your exhilaration when you found the entrance of the tunnel and then to find the other end possibly buried and lost in time from ol Mother Nature! Must of been a bit of a kick in the guts in a way , hope u go back in and find the grave site , I’ve walked the bush in very remote areas myself in some of Australia’s most geographically steepest country so I have an understanding of what it takes to do it alone , I’m much older now and my physical injuries prohibit me sojourning like I once did , hat off to you young fella and the best of luck next trip in for the grave! Oh and merry Christmas Levi cheers Wrighty 🍻🎄🙏⭐️🇦🇺 keep up this journey of yours on KZbin mate it’s great someone is keeping our cultural history alive for generations to come!

[@ericbruns888]

Here til the end young man. Just pausing to reflect. Sorry for this. You control you. God put you Levi in control of Levi. I am just one man and with many men no government stands a chance. We watch you because of YOU. Your an amazing traveler,miner,explorer and greatest gift of you and Rob is that we feel your stories,lives and challenges thru both of your blessing in front of a I pad phone or other device. Your editing skills are well to be honored. If we can help push you to stand up for your freedoms, I can only promise I will push from here as well. I’m sure you don’t but I let you know months before your queens gold video she was already passed. I’m here to let you know. You are now in power. YOU are the power. This world is changing and you have a captive audience that will be more than you can handle soon. Stay true to your self and your beautiful family. Just keep pushing on. There will be a way. He will guide you. May God Bless you and your family at this time of year. And please be safe out there you have love waiting. 😉 now go get that gold. WWG1WGA 🇺🇸🇦🇺

[@tonyl7953]

Wow what an adventure thanks levi for sharing such unknown information and keeping the history of your land alive KEEP IT UP dude we are all standing along side of you PEACE

[@Jrski11]

Merry Christmas Legend Levi! Thank you for persevering, sticking it to the man, and going on great adventures. We love you ❤️

[@nsa_surveillance_orb-42b]

Love the adventures you take us on. Thanks for all of your efforts.

[@haroldludwick6423]

I agree with you Levi that the Tunnel would've been dug on a slant offering less resistance for water to flow and less weight on their dam, Great to see more exploration by you mate 😎💯

[@jimmihaurholm]

Merry christmes levi to you and your familie . Love your trips in to the Bush. Good prospecting in 2024.

....and this dear parks & wildlife is yet another great production made by the best Tassie ambassador YT has to offer these days. Levi, thank you so much for uploading this one, happy to support you on Patreon!!

[@kevdimo6459]

That was great thanks Levi, i really enjoy your historical videos as well as your prospecting ones. The hardships the old timers had are truly inspiring. Your coverage of their plights is also inspiring! Please keep up your important work both on and under the beautiful rivers of Tasmania. 👍🏼

[@thesingularity6715]

I normally don't comment on anything. But. I have to thank you, Levi, for this wonderful documentary and your obvious love for your country. You are a true citizen of Earth.

Thanks so much appreciate it

[@jacqualineshipman9166]

Who wouldn’t want to live vicariously through you? I love what you do😊

Awesome mate thankyou

[@joshurrr]

I love these kind of historical videos Levi, like I was there with you reliving what it was like to mine in one of the most remote places on earth 100 years ago, thanks and merry Christmas to you and your family

[@irishsquire1]

Levi, thanks for letting us see this wonderful part of World, i hope you get something sorted with the government That let's you keep looking for the gold, and making these fantastic Video's. Good lock from the Kennedy's.

[@robertmassmann228]

What a beautiful trip. Love being able to come along. Thank you Levi!

[@johanv4668]

just found your channel and have to say finding gold and naturure is very nice to see. but finding these historic artifact is also very intresting. also i am just a guy from Holland, so tasmania is realy different than i ever could imagined. super nature there.

[@Bestiegroup2024]

Levi. You are a champion. I take my hat off for you. Love what you do. Love watching your vids. Keep on going what you do.

[@judithtaylor6916]

Visited Tassie for 6 weeks this month. Travelled back roads only and did NOT visit any National Parks in support of your's and Rob's cause. We stayed 6 nights at Luina near the lovely Madeline Creek which runs into the Whyte River. We were in awe of the impenetrable forest. Impossible to use a detector. I did do some sniping without success of finding gold but definitely could see tiny flecks of either tin/osmiridian. We wernt game to bush bash to find detectable ground. Just too thick. Deep gullies. Scary. We have learnt so much about Tassie history watching your's and Rob's videos. You are both ambassadors. NPWS cant seem to see the benefit. Have a great Xmas with your beautiful family🌲 Best wishes for 2024.

[@joshwasereyesterday]

Who is going to know about or see this side of Tassie if it weren't for you and Rob! Great work mate. Merry Christmas too!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! Keep on doing what you are doing, for our children’s sake!

[@TheSillySwagman]

Loved it, mate. I was so certain you were going to find that old headstone, the sentimental music kicking in now and again worked a treat and had me hooked haha Great work as always. Some really cool finds in this one.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Retention retention 😁 thanks for tuning in mate

[@northeastexpanse]

The sense of wonder and curiosity for exploring is a thing in itself. You do a wonderful job encompassing it in film. Keep up the great work mate 👊🏻🎄

[@mightymitts5533]

Recent follower from 🇨🇦. There’s something to be said to a solo guy backpacking through the wilderness alone. Balls of steel. Cheers mate! Safe travels!

[@sharonmalone8312]

What a great adventure, I would be so scared to go hiking and searching for old history. That’s why I love your videos,I get to see all this.

[@carlyoutube]

Would have happily watched this at the cinema. Epic. Thank you.

[@megbond]

Wherever Armstrong is laid to rest, it's in a very beautiful and peaceful place. Terrific adventure Levi - love the historical ones you do.

[@yellowboy1866]

Thanks for dragging us along, Levi, I have done similar exploring around the west coast of the south island in New Zealand and seen similar stacked rocks and oar cartwheels mixed up in caved in, debris. Im glade i never had to earn my living like the early miners. My early kin made their livings from selling picks and shovels to the miners.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Yes it would have been a hard living, that’s cool but of genealogy mate nice 👍🏼

[@jimfausset8122]

Thanks for the tour interesting too bad you couldn't find everything you were looking for but it was still cool to see what the old boys had to go through

[@markbrennan8392]

What a great and interesting adventure TFS Levi. When you were looking for the grave I noticed something by the trees at timestamp 26:26 and is in frame till 26:34 ... It looks like a cross behind the one tree and I wonder if you found the gravesite without finding it. It looks like it's on it's way down the ravine, possibly flood waters over the last 100 years bury it and re-expose it ... Hmmm 🤔I hope you get to see this and check it out.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Someone else pointed this out aswell I’ll need to double check when I go back but I think it was just a branch running horizontal of a standing tree in foreground but definitely worth another look I was probably to busy yapping

[@outnorthprospecting]

A little bit of history is always welcome! This was a really good video with amazing scenery, and I just hoped that you would find Armstrongs grave. Better luck next time. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎉 Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@DrSteveH695]

Blessings to you Levi, thanks for including us in your adventures.

[@GlennChristie-y8n]

Well done Levi another great adventure in showcasing the beauty and history of Tassie to the world. Amazing what the old timers did and went through so many years ago to make a living . Hope we never forget the history and what those pioneers did.

[@christopherspence6459]

Great programme and I gotta say wicked music too keep em coming please!😎😎😎

[@born2unbox611]

Thanks for taking us on this amazing journey Levi, I enjoy every single video you post no matter how long the video may be . Thanks again brother

[@NarcolepticNobody]

I have Narcolepsy and with that I fall asleep randomly. It’s super hard to finish one of your videos cause I fall asleep because they are so relaxing lol but I rewind it and always come back!💕 thank you for making beautiful content 😊

[@stevefairchild3337]

I really enjoyed this one. It's sad that governments and businesses seem to think that by controlling historic sites is preserving them. I think that allows them to degrade faster because mother nature has an easier time reclaiming these areas. Without humans helping hands on, the jungle will take over. So sad to loose this. Thanks again.

[@William_Borgeson]

Thank you again Levi, I love history and taking us along on this adventure has been amazing. I wish you and your family all the best!

[@Jennie-leeGardiner-g5e]

Fantastic trek and thank you for documenting this wonderful part of Tasmanian history. I was mesmerised from beginning to end.

[@GRUMPYOLDSURVEYOR]

Thank you Levi for another great video. I hope the permit issues of 2023 can be resolved and you can continue your KZbin adventures. I look forward to watching them with my grand children as they grow older. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. ( maybe a whale shark ep in 2024)

[@margaretheschmidt7062]

Thanks for taking me along, in adventures beyond my reach😊❤ It is never good for anyone to forget the past.

[@JosesGaraje]

Brought your paddle this time, bet you won't leave it again. Rugged country; I surely appreciate all of the camera work put into your adventures. Glad you're overcoming the setback with parks, always a pleasure seeing new content. Cheers.

[@EnniodBleu]

I love this relic hunting style of video! Nice one Levi. My opinion on the tunnel is that they would have cut it square under the hill. It's not an adit chasing a lode so the old timers wouldn't have dug any more rock than they needed to. My experience hunting for mining relics and tunnels around the Adelaide hills is that you can be basically right on the entrance and not see it for the overgrowth. (I've found some pretty cool old stuff on public land here, that is rarely if ever visited 'cos it's almost impossible to spot). But its also likely the entrance to the diversion tunnel has filled in from floods, being on the outside of the bend in the river where you were looking.

[@johnwitte551]

they would have cut the tunnel on an angle to make it easier to divert the river,! Its harder to make water do a 90% turn.

[@Stoffe83]

Wow! What an adventure and the nature 🤩 to bad that the goverment dont want us to visit the tassie wilderness 🤷 Hope you and your family have a lovely start on 2024. Best wishes from Sweden

[@GlennPayne-z5x]

Can't wait for you and Rob to plan a trip back in there and find that grave... fantastic story tellers and adventurers!

[@lonniekruse5562]

thank you for keeping your sos with you. i did cross my mind if you had it i feel alot better now, no joke. note it was not hanging off your left backpack strap. we notice things like that because we worry and care about you. good job!

[@nicholasbrokling1508]

Great trip. You put a lot of hard yakka in. Linking those stories to the location is a great thing and shows the efforts those miner's went to. Thanks!

[@adv4wd]

G'day Levi, Another great video. It continues to amaze 2 me the hard work these old timers did to earn a living for their families. I'm looking forward to coming to Tassie and exploring some of this historic area. Have a great Christmas Mate and a safe and happy new year to you and your family.
