- Recently our small family sold our beachside home, looking to offload our mortgage and live a life filled with freedom.
We dreamed of owning our own homestead, nestled in nature, where we can raise our family and grow our own fruit and vegetables.
The motivation behind this lifestyle change, is the want to become more self sufficient, to take the slow road, live within our means and protect and nurture our family values.
After much searching we found the perfect place, Its not going to be easy, but we’re up for the challenge. And on this channel we’ll be sharing our journey, our highs our lows, and all the joy that comes in-between.
It's been a long time in the making, but we’ve finally arrived, welcome to Robinsbrook Homestead.
Finding a woman with these kind of values is even rarer then all the gold nuggets you find, I wish you all the very best.
Made me tear up. Thank you!
@@robinsbrookhomestead Most welcome, I've shed a tear or two in seeing your guys happiness and adventures, please never stop.
Outstanding
Congratulations on escaping from the treadmill of debt and stress.
This is what life was meant to be like.
So fabulous exactly what we did 43 years ago. Although things have changed now we're older, we've never regretted it. Best thing EVER for children. Best wishes.
Yeah when houses were affordable...
How about schooling and socialisation, sports etc?
Having followed you for many years and seeing you both reach this point, brings a lot of joy and really added a heap of emotional feeling to watching video.
I speak from experience, that you buy a house, you move into a house, then you make changes and put your own feelings into the house - finally it becomes a home. And you can always feel the difference between a house and a home.
Congrats to you both, excited to see what you bring to this amazing home.
Enjoy a wonderful life caring for this special place with all the birds you now call home ............
Loved this video. Been down kinda lately and have lost track of my goals in life. This video reminded me of hope for a better future and for growth. Yall are so fortunate to have this life. All of your hard work and perseverance has paid off. Thank you for filming this
Absolutely laughed till I cried when you lost power, as it was our intro intro to our little place. iI is now a constant where we live, a n isolated village in the NE on the shores of Bass Strait. You learn very quickly to have a little gas cooker, bbq , plenty of battery operated torches and lights, a good srore of candles, a good toasting fork and jafflemaker , big bucket of water for the bathroom and when the weather starts to get dicey we just fill, billys, buckets etc as a matter of course. Also hot water bottles come in handy. Just like camping.. Nothing better than laying in front of the fire, no power, no phones, no internet. Xx A truly beautiful hideaway and is going to be a wonderful life for your family.
Yes, it's incredible...
Reminds me of the years I grew up in the outback... Channel Country...
When 'the wet' came...
8 weeks of going nowhere and we never had mains electricty nor phone...
Yes, we used an old copper boiler and pioneer village style washing apparatus...
We had carbide lights, till we got a 32v generator...
with battery storage...
Wood stove with hot water on side... and for baths, we had 2x 44 gal drums welded together, and we lit a fire under them...
Water was 2 x 30' dams side by side that supplied the homestead and surrounding stock paddocks!
I am so looking forward to the different climate, nature and the different way to survive different conditions!
But yes, they'll be many more challenges to come as you carve out your space as you reconnect with nature!
Cheers
Idyllic environment altogether. A thoroughly delightful beginning for all three of you!!! Thanks for sharing. Aussie born, almost 80 yrs old; 50, in USA!
I am so green with envy right now. You are going to live your best lives at Robins Brook Homestead. ❤
Oh so exciting guys! I’ve loved every minute of your new adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you on your new and incredible journey and I’m looking forward to each and every new instalment 🎉🎉🎉❤
Heartwarming new adventure, Rob, Erin and Scout, rocking the Robinbrook! With the name-change to the channel, we wandered in unexpectedly, into sweet nostalgic memories of the seventies when we were a kid, parents home-making a forties soldier's house, bottles stacked high along the fence, but deposit returns ended, so did their bottle savings fence account. Alterations and repairs, the constant blackouts, trouble with the dirty water from the mains, and that was in the mid seventies, suburban Melbourne, Springvale, home of the band, TISM, who played Launceston in February.
Your new home, charming building, beautiful setting, the birdlife is amazing, fearless Eastern Riflebird with the orange chest have a nice, loud continuous call. Look after the small shrubbery as shelter for them all, the kookaburra keeping down the numbers of lizards and probably snakes, another hazard to look out for.
You're tops for sharing this, Rob. It's in remembering since your working the shop and earlier wedding videography career, mixing it with some prospecting fun, been since a long road, and a winning leap forward with this adventure, it's beauties and challenges, good luck and much happy goodwill saving, banking and accumulating interest, you could bottle it, spirit of life, eau de vie, it'd be nonetheless no deposit, no return! Howzat for a full circle motif, so cheers, The Robinbrook Three! 🌦️🏡🐦👨👨👦❤
Omg that place is beautiful, guys! Congratulations 🙌 You three deserve it
🎉What a Breath of Fresh Air 🙏
You have a way about you both that I find extremely calming - always leaving me wanting to slow down, breathe, and listen to the birds.
Thanks you for your sweet comment Rhys!
We have a generator hard wired into our house. It can run the fridge, freezer, water pumps and a power socket so we can recharge our phones. This means that no matter what happens and as long as we have fuel we can stay in our home. Best investment ever as the power is often out in remote parts of Tassie. Best wishes to your family and congrats on your fab new property.
Well done you two
Nothing better than being free
100% awesome !!
A generator, housed outside in its own space to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, would be a great addition to an already amazing homestead for the short term fixing of the situation after the storms of winter roll through. I love your place! 😀
You guys nailed it. Enough content to captivate and enlighten. Gentle introduction to you and your journey. What a place, and all the birds! Wow.
I wish you all good health peace and happiness in your new home Gorgeous baby T he birds are truly amazing . living with nature all around you Brilliant
Well, that brought back memories! 1984 and a pair of Londoners moved to the Huon Valley after a few years in Sydney. We lived in a pole-framed celery-top house around which the previous owner-builders had planted a heap of tooth-brush grevilleas which the honeyeaters loved. Yes, no water when the power was lost, no lights either but you plan for that. Kettle on the wood heater, candles handy, camping gear for cooking. Some of the best years of our lives were spent there and the same will happen to you. Just needs a sense of humour and some really good gumboots. Very best wishes to you all.
Looks like the start of a great big adventure!
Me and my son watched it he is 8-years-old he loved it too
Beautiful, absolutely...Beautiful..everything is just what you need. The House you've made your own. And now it's yours because of the work you've put into it. Well done Erin, Rob, and your son Scout.....Can't wait for the next episode of yours...Pete from Devonport.
How exciting for you both mate 😀
I’m so jealous! It would be so peaceful
Have just stumbled upon your channel… watching you walk around the garden for the first time & seeing all the birds made me appreciate my land & gardens even more. Sometimes you take this life for granted 🥰
The best way to live
I have loved to watch the video! All the love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Isn't it wonderful when too beautiful souls share so much love and passionate for each other wishing you guys some much happiness
God is great. 💜🙏
AMEN!
good to see silverbeet being fed to the chickens its all its good for mate! well done on the dream.
Fantastic move Rob, you will never regret this decision.
Absolutely 100% so happy you all three are in this channel!
Wow. Fantastic property! This is going to be great to experience and watch your progress. Best wishes for a phenomenal success. 😊
Geez guys what a great place to live, i think this is the best place for a little kid to grow up, living in nature, greetings from the Netherlands
So great to see; congratulations on your new home and wise steps forward. Lovely to see an Aussie family.
I’m so happy for you and your family. I so enjoy all of your videos.
You are so lucky. Living the dream.
Absolute thrill to share your families joy Rob :)
Love this so much! 💛💛💛
Congrats guys, thats an amazing slice of paradise you have found. Here's to many years of happiness raising your family there.
Congratulations Rob & Erin, so beautiful. I hope the power didn't take too long to come back on. Thank you for showing us your journey to the bush
That is so awsome guy's. Congratulations. What a little piece of paradise. I wish you guy's many many years of happiness.
Congratulations guys, what an adventure, love your house. In spite of power failure living there would be heaven.
What wonderful news and congratulations to you both after all your hard work and realising your dreams , the bonus for us is you now give us two great channels to watch, take care of one another , Brian and Susan
What a beautiful new home and loving the garden, chooks and the bird life smart move with the fire guard Rob well done mate looks fab. I suggest you guys look into off grid solar power and definitely invest in a diesel generator as diesel lasts much longer than petrol. Having the Kookaburras around are a great asset against snakes and you will get a good workout chopping up firewood. I spent 6 months in Tassie prior to 2000 so I know what the weather is like down there mainly cold lol hence why I moved back on the mainland. Best of luck and look forward to more videos and stay safe guys.
Hi Rob just check the regulations on heat shield behind hot plate. You may need one because the timber you have exposed can catch fire. Love your new property.
We scraped the crusty paint off and then put it back! Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous homestead! Amazing wildlife and a beautiful family to enjoy it all 😎
All your dreams come true. Well done ❤️
Congratulations you 3. How wonderful!
Congratulations! My husband and I look forward to following your progress. Love the birds!
Wise move! Good luck with your new home and new channel! 🎉🥳
Looking forward to more videos in the future this was a great watch! I enjoyed it
Congratulations you guys. You're awesome amd deserve it.. Cheers!!
Best wishes from a fan in Canada. You are making me jealous. I am looking forward to more awesome videos.
Congrats on the homestead and new channel! My partner and I are very excited to watch your journey! Inspiring ✨
Wishing you a happy, healthy and wonderful new life in “your” beautiful new home. Those first few hours of arriving at your dream were euphoric! Home really is where the heart is…
Well done, Rob, Erin & Scout. Now you have a small holding you will always be busy....😊
FYI poop all over the eggs is a signer the hen isn’t feeling the best. Love y’all!!
Well done and congratulations on your new homestead . Looking forward to watching your new journey to become self sufficient . Welcome to the great life x
Very enjoyable and heart-warming to see you fulfilling your dreams.
Congratulations beautiful family. I am looking forward to going on this amazing journey with you.
Congrats on your new home. Enjoy. 😊
What an action couple (family)! Renovations are extremely difficult/stressful. Well done!
Now to watch the seasons roll by!
Your first home came out stunningly beautiful, and I’m thrilled for you and your beautiful little family.
You’ve arrived at my daughter’s dream life too. Awesome!
Not easy for newbies I know. But so worth it in the end. Need a generator sooner rather than later. May God bless your little family.
Thank you so much!
So happy for you and your family, congratulations to all three of you. Happy to be here.
Absolutely brilliant. So happy for you guys, warms the heart to see people doing so well. Look forward to following the adventure. Sincerely wish all three of you the best. Thanks for sharing the story with us.
That is REALLY Kool Rob!!
Sincere congratulations on the new home and new channel. Wishing you and your family the best.
many thanks for sharing your journey !
There bound to be a way to have a backup for a power outage, or even better if resources allow( , water, wind&solar) to even go off grid!
looking forward to toggle along!
Seems like you are living in the garden of eden. All the different species of birds An animals I think that is so 😎
Congrats guys, you deserve it
The best thing I have ever done was buy property, we own 23 acres of canyon forest on a gold producing year around river. It’s something so amazing and it’s a full time job maintaining and upgrading all of it. Your new pad is stunningly beautiful and I wish you the absolute best in all of your efforts!
Great adventures in homesteading await you. I’m in SE Arizona USA in a 2400 soft. Straw bale home on 35 acres in the desert SW 6 miles from the international border with Mexico. Been here 16 years. It’s a lot of constant work but you grow into it. You’ll love it too. Congrats, and good health, wealth, and happiness.
Beautiful place Rob , congrats 👊✌️🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
Wow!! well done guys, thanks for sharing your adventure. Looks like you need a back up plan for power, bet you're working on that. Looking forward to your next post.
Congratulations Rob, I wish your family all the best. Scout has a bright future with you two as parents. I’ll be watching your developments on this channel with interest.
That was so enjoyable to watch, love the birds. Love it! 2k subscribers already, this is going to be huge 👏 I planted giant sunflowers here in Devonport back in January and got dozens of rainbow Lorikeets, it was amazing to film and just watch them. Congratulations on your hard work 👏🙌 looking forward to watching your videos
Congratulations and well done.
A peaceful environment to enjoy and be nutured in ❤
Welcome to rural living, where most things are on a municipal scale. Back up generator, kero lanterns, solar if that's your thing. Or a gas BBQ and a camping shower for those times when the utilities fail. Next comes the chainsaw and a block splitter. Been there; still doing it; would not change a thing. Plant trees now for firewood in the future. Best of luck, good people.
And fruit trees... love some jam, pies, preserves and homemade wine.
You guys are amazing! Thanks for sharing your oasis!! Keen to see the development!
Loved watching this! Congratulations to you all on your beautiful new little piece of paradise ❤
Amazing, what a beautiful slice of heaven you guys found ❤
Well done, you have a little piece of paradise, perfect place for a family. 🏡🌳🦜🦘💜
A fantastic way to have your new beginning recorded for posterity Rob.... On ya....😊
Congratulations and well done - welcome to the world of homesteading!
Thank you! We love your channel! Big hugs 😊
Congratulations well deserved ❤
This is awesome! I live on a small farm surrounded by bushland with my family (and my parents - intergernational farm) and we grow some of our food and have livestock. It really is a fantastic way of life for kids.
Looking forward to following this channel and new venture. Congrats!
I also did similar, although I built the house in the bush. Congratulations on your move to freedom. I have long since left that house and must say I miss it terribly, my 2 younger children aged 32 and 34 still talk about their fond memories of their life on the farm.
OMGosh so beautiful. ❤ congrats.
If. Your creek flows. You could make a small affordable hyro generator to charge batteries to be a backup power supply..
GG😢
Brilliant. I guess you’ve bought a generator by now. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻🙏🦘
Be an amazing place to grow up for the little one.
I can see a backup generator in your future.
There’s nothing like the intense excitement of your first home! Best of luck to you both! 😊
Wow! So pleased for you all. What a wonderful to live out your dreams
If you want the glass on the combustion heater to come up clean dampen some newspaper or paper towel then dab it in the ash and wipe the glass with it. You will be surprised how well it works.
Congrats on the new patch of land , looking forward to more vids . Nothing like the feeling of having a few small acres to call your own.
Congrats on the new home guys, looks super cosy & cute!Loving this new direction for this channel!!! Looking forward to watching further episodes! ❤❤❤
That was cool.
