As an avian vet, the fact that this bloke walks into places like this without a mask astounds me lol. The amount of disease in all that pigeon crap that can be caught by simply breathing it in terrifies me.

That has always been a concern for the welfare of the videographer for me too!🦘🇦🇺😬

Love how the peahen was just nonchalantly sitting on the bench top! Love how animals are so adaptable.

I would take that as a late 1800s home from what I have learnt from you. The pressed tin ceilings, the smaller stones in the walls... it would have been a beautiful home back in the day. Thanks for sharing Paul.

Hi Anita :-) Yes good call, it does certainly have late 1800`s features so sometimes when these home get an add on or extension they re do the whole roof, perhaps this is the case as the louvre roof style cam in early 1900`s or just on. The chimney at the rear was different suggesting its an add on. Cheers :-)

Hi everyone,really enjoy watching the videos. I don’t normally post on the comments section. However I do think this is extremely important. After reading the Avian Vet comment I would quickly like to share this with you all. I contracted Avian Flu when I was 36.Back then I was super fit and strong.6ft 2” /200lbs. With in 2 days In was in hospital fighting for my life.Pumping me full of those Super Antibiotics, changing veins every hour because they were being shredded to pieces. I bought a compressor from a clearance sale at an old farm house covered in Pigeon shit having inhaled the dust while cleaning it. I was off work for 12 months convalescing. Please you do need to be very careful with the wind and dust.

16:28 Paul's unwitting Steve Irwin imitation. 🤪👍 🇺🇸 RIP Steve.

Thanks to you I am out wondering around Australia looking at interestng old buildings instead of stuck indoors looking out the window at a dark chilly, wet, windy U.K. Thankyou for making such an option possible. A breath of fresh air!

I once lived in an early nineteen hundreds symmetrical villa in rural South Australia that had two windows on either wall in the front two rooms. Used to get nice breezes when they were both opened. Loved living there.

Thank you Paul for a fascinating explore of an old stone house, filled with vintage household items and also occupied by a beautiful Peahen.

Got that exact stereo/ turntable and speakers for Christmas in 1976

Seeing all of these beautiful homes abandoned with pictures left behind breaks my heart! Awesome video mate! ❤️😘💪

@7:44 - that's not a vacuum cleaner. It's an electric floor polisher. I'll take a guess at vintage and make (based on the design), and say it was probably made in Australia by STC in the late 1940s or 50s. STC started as a British telecommunications company (Standard Telephones and Cables Pty Ltd), but their Australian operation diversified into other home appliances. Another brand that disappeared when the tariffs that protected our manufacturing sector were removed. What remained of the business was bought out by Alcatel in the 1980s.

🌟Oh my gosh what an absolute beautiful old gem sitting lonely in the countryside, full of history, memories I love the six over six windows and the beautiful brick facade would have been a perfect home back in the day rural Australia 🇦🇺 working the land a grand reminder of the past. Hope the cut on your hand wasn’t too nasty. Thank you for the tour.❤😊x

Bathrooms often near the kitchen, easier to keep an eye on the kids in the bath while dinner was being prepared.

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Merci pour la visite. Pour les fenêtres obstruées si vous aviez été en France j'aurais sut pourquoi, il y a eut une époque où il avait un impôt sur les ouvertures, beaucoup de fenêtres furent condamnées (la France royaume des impôts absurdes). J'ai aussi pensé que ces ouvertures condamnées était sur le plan d'origine et donc non ouverte d'origine c'est les même pierres que le reste du mur. Pour la femelle paon, s'il y a une femelle il y a un mâle . L'oiseau ne couvait pas d’œufs pour le moment. Le femelle du paon pond quatre à cinq œufs dans un nid dissimulé au sol, dans des herbes hautes ou des buissons. Mais c'est une rencontre plus agréable que celle des abeilles Bonne fête de fin d'année

Pressed tin is such a cool look

Thank you so much for respecting Mrs. Peahen.... I have a question- why, with hay prices through the roof, would anyone leave that hay? I realize it wouldn't be any good for horses, but cattle eat anything, and even if it wasn't good for that, it would be good bedding, or silage. It floors me that it just sits there wasting away.... Thanks for such a great explore!!!!!-SDK

great explore of a wonderful large old house, it is touching to see your concern for animals during your explores, bless you

That was a grand old home. The scale in the room where you saw what you said was another scale was really a clock with a timer underneath the clock face. I love your explorations. ❤❤👍👍🤠🤠

Those large wooden ? painted panels along the front hallway walls are remarkable. Have you seen that aesthetic in other old homes ? Thank you for your hard work, knowledge & passion to share & record the past . Just wow.

I was going to say thats a first for you coming across a peahen with eggs wow what a surprise well at least the old home is being put to use

What the hell is that peacock doing in the kitchen ?!? 😂 Cool explore , thanks mate 😎👍

This house looked very similar in design to one you visited recently, with the apex design on top of the roof. That peahen wasn't a bit bothered by you being there, so she must have felt safe by the way you carefully moved around. When you left by the back door and directly to your left, there was a curved corrugated piece of metal. I was hoping you would venture past it as I was reminded of the house I grew up in that had an Anderson shelter in the garden (an arched air raid shelter, but then used as a shed). I rewound and realised that it was probably a circular tube lying on the ground, as well as realising that Australia probably didn't have Anderson shelters!

My late mother grew up in the parts of Australia Paul shows us. Mum was a young girl during the 2nd World War. I know she talked about homes and properties haveng Air Raid Shelters but not sure if they were Anderson.

What a beautiful old home in a beautiful country setting. I hope you had a great Christmas, with best wishes for the new year! Thank you so much, Paul, for your videos that I devour x

These old farmhouses always have a lot things left behind in the houses and the barns on the property in a very rural area there and a lot of pigeons making it their home now but it was an interesting place to explore and I really enjoyed it as always Thanks for another wonderful find in this place Thank You and until next time take care.🇦🇺🇦🇺🏘🏘🏘🏘🇦🇺🇦🇺

Definitely a Peahen -female peacock. How neat. Trying to imagine that home in its heyday, looks incredible.

Hello Paul another beautiful old farmhouse I always enjoy your videos great job yes that was a peacock🦚🐝 I'm glad you found that egg before you found the peacock take care love from upstate New York❤😊

What a surprise to find the peahen! The house building materials seem to be a bit of a mixture. The chimneys didn't match and noticed red bricks on the corners of the house, but then a patch of bricks on the wall towards the back. Perhaps they ran out of stone or patched it up sometime?

Ok, the peahen was REALLY cool!! Amazing old home too. I love that you always leave things as you find them.

That's a Peahen, Peacock have the huge tails with the eyes.

Nice to see you this Thursday morning 🌄. Be careful out there.

What a gem 😊

That was a Peacock she was sitting on her nest good thing you didn’t scare her.

That place must have been beautiful in it's hay day I wish we could have seen the mantels and the hallway but at least they were saved

Yes that was a peacock you saw but it was a peacock yes and I enjoyed the video as always

The cistern for the toilet was in the bath. So the flushing toilet probably was in the "new" bathroom. Thanks for the tour and the sitting hen!

Super cool! Thanks!

On one of the farms we lease. I went to do some maintenance in the old farm house. Bee's.the bastards attacked. Now when I see a new hive in any buildings I get rid of them.

Amazing old farm house, I love seeing these homes on Restoration Australia being lovingly restored. Strange place to see a Peacock/hen, they aren’t native to Australia. The Brits brought them over here from India during colonisation. Cool Vid, stay safe. :)
