Wow this old girl would be worth bringing back to her former glory, one nice old house ❤❤

Saturday afternoon fun! Hello All! 😎👍 🇺🇸

Amazing to see that the original walls have lasted better than the newer walls of the add ons.

This had nice big rooms and big kitchen and hallway. Nice ole place.

Awesome 😎👍 place love that old coup it had suicide doors on it very cool looked like those people needed something done they did it themselves

Very interesting Paul. Ill bet it was a fine home for many years. Lots of things to explore on that property. Thanks for the walk! Cheers ☮️💜

In the room with the TV there was an old box for an Oliver Totem Tennis Game from the 70s. I only recognised it because I still have one. 😊

Yes especially if you live in Texas, flies are a screaming nuisance.........if you know what I mean, they are sooooo irritating

Put my imaginary gaiters on as soon as I saw that long grass! 😬 Lovely house and not as much structural damage to the walls as the last one, apart from the add-on oddly enough, where the wall was really separating. This one could be saved, I'm sure. The oldest car was my favourite, but the mini probably has more fans.

The station wagon is a XW Falcon 1968-9. The Holden station wagon is an FC? 1958. The Holden ute is an FB or EK 1960 -1 No one has been in there for a long time.. Thick walls and high celling's . Another great explore.

Hi there, just wanted to say i have been watching your channel for the last couple of years, and i really enjoy watching you explore these pieces of history, especially the old machinery and vehicles, im a big sucker for history. It always makes my imagination run wild thinking about what these homes were like back in the day with the people that used to occupy them, and also imagine someone exploring my property in the future when me and my family are long gone. I also love the respect you have for these derelict old properties. Anyway i love your work, and looking forward to your future vids!

@@urbexindigo5164 I think the cart you thought was perhaps donkey drawn, was actually an oxy/acetylene trolley lying on it's back.

The quality of the home indicates it was built by a very prosperous farming family. The last shed looks as though it was originally used for working with sheep but it was not elevated which would be the case with a shearing shed - the holding pens for the unshorn sheep would be on the elevated section with the shorn sheep being dispatched down the raceways underneath. Enjoy your videos. Rgds, Ian

Like your videos of the old bygone era of old homesteads & to see the quality of these Aussie buildings absolutely outstanding , true Australiana , they don't build them like that anymore unfortunately .

That shot when you first zoomed in. Such a beautiful shot of this old home

It may not be super ornate, but I think this was one really nice house in it's day. Large rooms, wide halls, and it looks like the people took good care of it before it was left abandoned. That International 726 PTO Header is not too old, late 70's or early 80's. The large vise that was outside the shed is called a leg vise, they were used in blacksmith shops. They clamped to the leg of a workbench or post and had an extension leg that ran to the solid floor, so when you hammered on a hot piece of metal you got a solid hit. I have one in my shop that I still use to this day. The cart laying on it's back on the floor is for a welding torch, the chains on it would hold oxygen and acetylene gas bottles for a torch set. Thank you once again for sharing your explores!!!

I feel so old 😀 my parents put the stripey carpet down in the holiday house in Albany in mid '70s. The lino with the blue flowers I remember from the '60s but was probably from the '50s as it was oldish then. The green carpet in the hallway I had in a rental on the gold coast in the early '80s so was likely '70 or late '60s. At boarding school in the '70s we used to cook toast on the radiator ( next to the chainsaw). I still reckon those old kero heaters were the best....I actually saw an ad for one on FB recently, apparently they still make them!

That was a huge piece of land. Loved that porch. Great explore.

First thing right off the bat, that music sound bite you used at the very start and the end coupled with the stitched in footage churned my stomach. The second thing is back in the day a family's wealth was measured by two things, a double pitched roof and the number of chimney stacks or fire places were built into the house. This was an awesome video to watch and I just want to add that these former glorious buildings are Australia's history.

The cart was part of a welding rig. It held the tanks of gas and the chain was to hold the tanks in place. These are common all over the world. Great explore and thank you for the entertainment.

At 32:55 that is a hand truck for moving barrels.

What a beautiful old girl. The house was in pretty good shape and had massive sized rooms and high ceilings.

Another old abandoned Victorian farmhouse and has a lot on the property from the main house, various barns and sheds, a lot of of vehicles as well, this is definitely a big place and plenty of old trees, more pigeons nesting inside but it is in a very nice rural area with a beautiful scenic countryside especially for the farmlands out there and i really enjoy your exploring the old houses every week and until next week Thank You. 🤠👋🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

All those proud, still standing turned posts on the veranda are so impressive. Beautiful fire places and such big rooms. The high ceilings must have helped a lot allowing heat to rise in the summer months. The whole house seems so roomy and comfortable. It would be fun to see that 1951 crossword puzzle! That back end of the oldest car in the group of three made me think "Nash" ... but that's just a gut reaction to the shape.

The white station wagon with the round tail lights is an XR or XT Ford Falcon.

26:12 That's one short pit, how does one get down there and then get the car over it? Two people I guess. Good to see they did their own automotive work, one mostly has to send it out these days. 32:53 Could this just simply be a handcart for oxygen/acetylene tanks? It's what it reminds me of.

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Les manteaux de cheminée sont avec une ornementation qui ressemble un peu à ce que l'on pouvait trouvé dans des maisons bourgeoises. Celle de 11:37 avec les côtés en pilastre et la guirlande fleurie qui démarre du pot central (vous devrez certainement chercher comment ces ornementations s'appellent en anglais) il y a aussi la fleur au dessus des pilastres (les pilastres c'est ces longues rainures qui rappelle les colonne grecques). Très classique. 17:59 pour cette cheminé le décor est plus sobre, mais il y a les feuilles d'acanthes et peut être un motif perle pour le cintre. Le motif feuille d'acanthe ce retrouve très souvent dans l'ornementation classique. Le matelas c'est vieux mais pas forcément ancien (ancien 100 ans minimum), matelas de laine (ce qu'il y a à l'intérieur la garniture comme ont doit dire en France) ils étaient presque inusable car ils pouvaient être refais à l'infini il fallait juste changer le tissus qui maintien la garniture (le temps entre chaque restauration pouvait aller jusqu'à 10 ans selon la qualité de la laine). 20:26 ce type de rideaux étaient courant dans les années 70. Dommage que la porte d'entrée ait perdu le vitrage 26:30 je me demande si la fosse ne servait pas à réparer les voitures ou faire la vidange, un atelier de réparation. J'en ai vue un dans un garage avant qu'ils n'installent le pont élévateur. 29:19 bizarre comme machine agricole le tracteur devait être puissant pour la tracter et activer le mécanisme vibrant qui sépare les grains de la paille et je n'ai pas vue le bec par où passait le grain 33:08 soit un sulky pour poney, mais je ne vois pas les amortisseurs, soit un diable pour transporter de grosses charges. 38:11 cette carcasse me fait penser à une "Mini Austin", pour les autres modèles je ne connais pas, mais celle qui a l'avant dans les broussailles je dirais qu'elle ce trouve entre les années 30 et 40. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'exploration l'ornementation des cheminées surtout, j'adore ces petits détails qui ont souvent une période de mode

Hi Paul. What an amazing home. I remember as a kid (72) my grandparents had both the striped carpet and floral carpet similar to the blue Lino. Single bed mattress and frame I had that growing up too, the bed frame could turn into a bunk bed. It’s still very sad seeing these beautiful places rotting away. My understanding is the farmers/owners who have derelict properties on there land still with a roof they have to pay a tax on them, so a lot of them take the roof off. It might be just a WA tax thing I don’t know, but that’s what I was told. Please look out for yourself and drink plenty of water!!

The last Holden station next to the the old ute my ex and I had one ours with a dark royal she was beautiful the dashboard lights were so pretty at night and the guy in Sydney dropped it off in the late afternoon so that when we took him home that night he would be able to see the dashboard for the last time lol and I remember we had to put seatbelts in it because it didn't have them and my dad who was an old mechanic managed to source old Holden seat belts and then we when moved to Hobart Tasmania we sold it to a friend who took her to Byron bay I think my daughter might still have a photo of her ❤️🐈 Melbourne

Hi Paul What a interesting place, it would have beautiful in its day with the wide passages and large rooms. The single bed was the bottom bed of a bunk bed. I loved the older Holden's they real stood out on the roads in the day. It's great to see then on the odd occasion out on the roads today . Thanks Paul glad to see it wasn't trashed.

Damn I'd move there in a heart beat

I remember our first colour TV it was a Rank Arena aswell

That white wagon is an XR-XT Falcon stationwagon, then the 2 holdens are an FC Holden stationsedan, and an EK Holden utility. That cart is an oxy/acetylene trolly.

Do you have any of these farms restored as working models, for history's sake, for your country, or tourists? I would so love to see what one actually looked like in it's glory- thanks for the explore!!!-SDK

Yes we do. There are quite a few homes, usually restored by the National Trust representative of different eras and stations in life at various localities around Australia. I have visited several in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory. One example being restored as budget permits near where I live is the original early 1800s home of one of Australia's inland explorers Hamilton Hume. Another very good example in our national capital city Canberra ACT which was donated by the last survivors of the owning family to the Trust, complete with original furniture is Calthorpe's House. It has been maintained so it looks very much like the middle class suburban inhabitants just left the 1930/40s era house on a short errand. Cooking and preserving classes are sometimes held onsite.

Agreed. Their offspring more than likely didn’t wanted to take up the farming work while maintaining the family home when their elders passed. It seems like they’ve neglected their family home for the city life for a better education, money and a modern way of living.

Absolutely loved it!

What a cool explore great video thanks for sharing 👍😀🤠

Interesting to read some comments referring to the hallway as the 'passage'. I grew up in South Africa, where we had passages. Seems Australia did too? Hallway sounds quite British. Either way, we all remember the browns and oranges of the 70's! lol

The blue rose linoleum pattern is so evocative of the 60's. No carpets to be seen, apart from a large carpet square in the living room ☺

Hi Great video 👍 In the shed,, the trolley with the large wheels would have been a oxy bottle trolley. The station wagon was a Ford xw or xy and the old utes FB or FC or EK. HOLDEN 👍

3:12 check out the 2 phase bridging on that stobie pole 😂

1963 FB Holden Ute. 1956 to 1960 Holden FE or FC station wagon. My Family owned those models back in the sixties. 👍

Dope explore

Very cool find!!

Hi Paul from Arizona USA! Your videos are so fun to watch thank you😊

The cinder block section was probably 60s or 70s. The yellow curtains and lightshade in the front room are both 1970s. The striped carpet in the dining room was 60s to early 80s. It was made by the carpet manufacturers as a way of using up oddments of threads.

You’d love to invent a time machine and take a look at who lived there …. Such fascinating stuff!!!! Do you ever research these rural properties ?

The Holden wagon is an FC Holden built around 1958 and the Ute was an EK Holden built around 1961. The first white wagon was an XR or XT falcon built around 1966.

I bet that was a beautiful house in it's day. I love the room sizes, and high ceilings. The fireplaces are beautiful so is the porch but I think they added the electric in the 50s along with the carpets. Great explore Paul Thanks

Very pretty old home.

Another cool old home mate, those pigeons have made there home in this one again. The TV Hitachi never heard of this model it looks similar to the HMV units. Loved the old cars I recon the first one might of been an early Ford falcon wagon looking at the rounded lights at the back, another awesome explore mate cheers.

She was one nice looked after old homestead in her time still standing compared to the 50s or 60s additions. I think my Dad had an FB as his first car. Pretty lucky that generation id say.

The cart at 33:00 was probably to move Wool Bales around.

For any US viewers the Holden was owned by General Motors 😊

It is sad to see these walk aways. Subscribed and liked

Your right about the carpet being 1970’s. It is what they made out of the left over ends of other carpet. The chainsaw….I thought the same as you did as the box looked quite new to me. 😱

Would’ve been a stunning home in its day

Compound Neatsfoot Oil container

The "Donkey Cart" is actually a Gas welding trolley with metal wheels (Sack Truck style) The 1st Station Wagon is a late 60's Ford Possibly a 1967 XR or XT 1968-69?? The Holden station wagon is probably a FC 1958-60 The Holden Ute looks like a FB 1960-61

My hope is, the owners of these houses will one day restore them !

The oldest car probably 1935 Oldsmobile slant back..somehow it ends up in Australia? I have photo of something similar but left hand drive. Rear opening rear doors split rear window. Same shape rear quarter light. Shame theres not clearer access to see the front end. Its also possible that the engine in the other shed is from it....a bit romantic idea perhaps but these are fantastic discoveries. They ( cars and buildings!) will probably never live again but you can bet they have awesome stories if they could talk!

Would love to know the history of this old girl ,and who lived there stunning archways . Really loving this THANKYOU 😊

yeah you got the last one right, an old shearing shed, raised woden floor for shears an wool. Mal

The Ute is an old FB or EK Holden 1960 to 1962, the wagon next to it is an old FC 1958 1959 Holden

Old holden parts are incredibly hard to find. It's a shame the FC's are left to rot.

Hi Paul, Gene here. This classic South Austrtalian homestead would be a great villa to do a bit of research on. I know someone is out there or perhaps a website would have some awesome black and white photos. With your story-telling, this would make a great collage/history documentary rival the fine ones you have created in the past.
