Snowed in Remote Wilderness Cabin

Join me on an epic overnight trip in to the heart of Tasmania's wild central plateau. In this video I hike all day through snow to reach a cosy cabin located on the fringe of Lake Meston, Walls of Jerusalem National Park. The next day I set off again through snow to find Grail falls, which I had seen photographs of and knew would be a stunning site to visit.

Ahhh Rob, you just visited my most favourite place in Tasmania, lost count how many times I've been in there now. There are some hidden Gems in there. Good to see the old Meston hut, built by Dick Reed still putting on a glorious show. You presented it very nicely too. And great comments regarding the up keep our our precious huts 🛖 We always say if you can carry it in you can carry it back out ! Love the falls too, great footage. You would have read a few of my posts in the log book ha ha ! Might just play that game of noughts n crosses next time in in there, happy trails mate, Late.

[@amaram4217]

Love chilling out on a Friday night with one of Rob's adventure vids!

[@AnthonyWalsh-tt7vx]

Great content better than gold. I am a Tasmanian living on the mainland for 30 years and always dreamt of walking through the walls of Jerusalem but now I am too old and unfit so thank you for letting me see such beauty. You have inspired me to encourage my kids to venture on such a journey You films Rob are truly fabulous😊

[@phillxor]

It's been about 15 years since I last hiked Tasmania in the snow, I forgot how breathtaking it is. Yearning to get back there after watching this. Thanks for the beautiful footage.

[@terrycharles7588]

Another outstanding effort Mr Parsons. Well done, your adventures are what legends are made of .

[@joannevieritz3463]

Do more winter episodes please! So pretty. You should be so proud of the quality of filming now .. and in the past, but now more ! I appreciate the beauty of our awesome country and promoting “Tasmania”! It’s so untouched and should stay that way in the future. Such an awesome Aussie .❤

[@terry8728]

That moment you came upon the hut, iced with snow and not a footprint or human blemish around, aah! Using your excellent skills in videoing the beauty of Tassie in winter. Thanks for taking us there Rob!

[@joyamongstforeverspark5422]

YES LOVED THIS ONE😊🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@Danielwyllie21]

That tree transition at the start of the film was on point 👌

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Nice to see a different type of Aussie snow experience. Stunning country and great video Rob. Love those wirecam shots!

[@crane2]

Just loved it! ❄️🌨️

[@MrHiss2011]

Lovely mate, sitting by the fire 🔥 in the cabin very relaxing , a glass of Port would Top it off.

[@lindsaybrown7357]

An Arthur Youd, fur trapper from Deloraine died in 1982. Maybe his spirit lives on !

[@ekkerslovarkia2726]

Thanks Rob for taking us on a beautiful adventure in the snow. Your doing a fantastic job promoting the wild nature in Tasmania and hopefully you will start getting a bigger international audience soon. 🌏

[@eddydianne]

Thank you so very much for sharing this story STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL scenery in winter and the Water falls ❤️ 💙 😍 ♥️ Gorgeous

[@dylanwoods6173]

Dude, you make the seclusion out there look really fun and it's very inspiring... I can't wait until my kid/kids are old enough to go on a safe adventure with me when I go back to Tas.. Also I applaud your etiquette when visiting these spots! Top notch as always

[@joycegiles4595]

Boy you had a ways to hike in a winter wonderland! 👧♥️

[@capt.fancypants]

Back in 1989 myself and 6 army friends packed for 14 day all weather bush walk, the weather didn't let us down and turned it up for us (lol) we started at Dove lake and went to the walls of Jerusalem then onto Lake Sinclair, it took us 14 days as at some points we used compasses & maps as there were no designated tracks, we did it in early January, which for some part was clear weather when we got to the Walls of Jerusalem the weather went shit and it snowed and we stayed in that very hut you were in for 2 days, the weather cleared up and we continued, it was the best bush walk I'd ever been on in Tassie.

[@michaelreppion5]

Great photography as usual and in awesome conditions . I have many fond memories of walking these same areas through the 1980s while living in Sheffield. Lake Meston Hut via Lake Adelaide or via Lake Myrtle and Lake Bill. Myrtle was very burnt out during the 80s and had lost its reported beauty. My last walk in 1989 was a sort of farewell before we set off on a trip around Australia and new adventures. I went up past Chapters Lake to Junction Lake ( the reverse of your walk). There was a group of local farmers from Mole Ck who were in the hut at Junction ( I presume it is gone because you didn’t film it). They were great company and shared both stories and evening nips of whiskey. My memory is that they said the Meston Hut was built by local cattlemen. Also lots of camping trips to Blue Peaks or Lake Ball as fishing was a major objective. Anyway I prattle on. On Mr Youd I think he is trying to relive an era which has long past in this area. Im not sure country NSW boys can be described as “city wankers” also I like my shiny new jacket and it is superior to the oiled japara we wore with heavy leather boots lathered with dubbin. I spent several months in 1979 in Lorrina having ridden a pusbike from Sydney though the Snowy Mts in winter in the company of my kelpie Hagar. At the time there was no electricity in the valley and one telephone. The ‘hippies’ had found Lorinna and lived generally happily alongside the locals. Many traditional skills were in use , curing meats, snaring wallaby, shingle splitting etc. One old local lived high up the valley with his similarly elderly sister(Sadly I forget their names). As a young man he was a trapper and took pack horses (up the Forth Valley I believe) into Pelion for periods of 6 weeks. He was an icon in Lorinna at the time. Anyway I prattle more. Thanks for reviving my memories and for the great trips to places out of reach to me.

[@lubyard6057]

What can I say again. Stunning, magnificent, Tassie I love you. Thanks Rob.

[@Al1978Newman]

Love your work @rob.

[@AussieBushLawyer]

Stunning scenery Rob don’t understand why it’s not reaching as many people!

[@scarcesense6449]

Hi from the mainland! I saw snow on the land once, a covering like this would be amazing. :)

[@chrismuramatsu6600]

i was excited to run into this video again and view it again. Beautiful capture of the snowy winter in Tasmania. I appreciate your highlight of the code for staying in a cabin. Respect for your fellow adventurers..

[@chaoslab]

Let the noughts and crosses commence!

[@dermotmcelduff2997]

Mate this is awesome, cant wait to come back to Tassie one day and hit the walls up again for a few days.

[@ericvanderneut3764]

Loved the snow covered scenery the waterfall was stunning

[@kaneoliver2080]

[@rogermace4516]

Beautiful photography and scenery

[@bigears4014]

Google Arthur youd he was known as the king of snairers , he also died in 1982 so someone is having a bit of fun

[@Tasrod]

Glad to see the ghost of Arthur Youd still frequents the area.

[@normcummins2719]

Yeah, the writing was a bit different each time.

[@debbiewilliams3888]

Gobsmaking Rob 👍

[@Navrak]

Absolutely loved the camera / video work in this episode. I know you have a background in videography , but this one just seemed to Pop with the snow clips . 👍👍. Awesome work , can’t wait for next video

[@hikesome]

Great video Rob! Incredibly scenery out there and the night in the cabin looks super cozy!

[@e1488]

Loving this video! Thanks a lot Rob for this , you just made my day !

[@ervinslens]

This is insanely beautiful bud, this is simply magical.🔥🔥

[@garyburgess4464]

Brilliant as always Rob! God's country, spent a lot of time in the Meston and Junction lake in the 80's and 90's. Great fishing lakes. I gather the Junction hut no longer exists? Hopefully one day I can hike back in there but I'm no spring chicken anymore .....but your trips are the next best thing for me, keep up the outstanding work my friend 👍

[@sallytodd8722]

wow how 'stunningly beautiful' Rob thanks for 'taking' us on another amazing walk 👍

[@wildcolonialboydetecting8335]

Great footage and video Rob. There is something majestic and unique about Australian foliage under good coverage of snow. The hut looked amazing and the log book entries of Arthur L would suggest he is what ... living off the land ?

[@davebarns1]

Faaarkin grouse....once again, man 👍🏻

[@joannestimson9641]

So beautiful! Your footage is addictive.

[@oohgeez4637]

[@BorneoGirlAdventure]

I really enjoy your adventure.... the atmosphere is very beautiful with the snow thinning, it must be very cold there. Warm greetings from Indonesia 🙏🏻😁

[@patrickpikacha6955]

Your videos are so inspiring. This makes me want to visit Tassie soon. You're doing travel Tassie tourism a huge favour.

[@mountainman066]

Tourism has ruined Tasmania

[@TheVeganTravelShow]

Cool hike Rob. Tasmania looks amazing all year round!

[@davidhall158]

Ha, I spent a few nights in Meston Hut. Was one of my favourite places to visit in the 90s and 00s. Never met any ghosts with a ballpoint though. Meston and Junction Lake cabins were built by Dick Reed. Nice bush joinery in both. Thanks for the video. I’m not so old I’ve ruled out visiting these spots again. Hopefully I won’t have to do it posthumously, like Arthur!

[@chrisferguson237]

Really enjoyed the video Rob. Nice work, keep posting. Liked and Subscribed mate.

Keep up the outstanding vlogs Robbie. I truely look forward to each one. Just a side note, im currently in geelong getting more damn cancer cut out, and in the unit my wife is staying in, is a shiny coffee table book titled 'huts of the high country'. It listed at least 100 huts across NSW,VIC & Tassie. Had the gps etc and a page or so write up /history etc. Well worth a look. Once again lad, well done and keep up the good work.👍

[@Rob.Parsons]

Thanks James and best of luck with the recovery mate.

[@rodgeorge7244]

Amazing vid Rob what a cool hut I've visited some in the Victorian High Country and the Snowies in NSW they are an important part of our heritage and can be an inviting refuge in bad weather and some are situated in some stunning places keep up the good vids mate.

[@coffeetwosugarswithhikingb4180]

So glad you didn't turn left at Junction Lake and trek the Never Never track. It is a nightmare. I wish I knew about Grail falls.

[@Wello26]

Beautiful scenery. Kids loved this one too, now they want to go there and play noughts and crosses.

[@debbiemingins4217]

Thank you again for another wonderful glimpse into Tassie's uniqueness, looking forward to your next video 😀

[@rosshunter9053]

Heading that way later this week, so looking forward to it. Doubt we will see snow though. Cheers mate
