- I had to revisit the "abandoned house that affected me for days" house because it intrigued me so much. I tried to find out some history on the place and was able to find out some early history of when it was first settled.Yes it's a long video but I had to get it all and it gets more and more grusome towards the last half of the video. AbbeyGreen was originally owned by George Loder. The property consisted of 10,000 acres in New England region of Australia. Loder was a champion breeder of merino sheep and first class cattle. He ran the property religiously for 52 years. Married twice and the sideboards in the dining room at Abbey Green bristle with cups, vases, lumens, etc., which he won throughout the Commonwealth. The property was then bought by Curtis Henry Welch. Welch was also a top breeder of cattle and sheep and died in 1924. The property went to his son in law and the blood line ran out soon after. I was unable to find anything more recent about the property but it was hugely substantial as I counted up to eight separate workers cottages on the property. I had no idea that there was so many of them and it just kept going on and on everytime I'd get to one I'd discover another place further down the property. I also lost count of the amount of dead sheep I found dead around the place and The smell of rotting carcasses stayed in my nose for the rest of the day. This is a long video but I had to film as much of the place as I could so I could make a permanent record of this amazing piece of Australia's history before it all completely crumbled away . The property has a conservation order on it and towards the end it looked like at some point (maybe) national parks may have set up in one of the houses as there appeared to be old wildlife posters still stuck on the walls. I really don't know as trying to find out more history became rather hard. I hope you enjoy the video. I hope you enjoy my tour around the property and my commentary because I wouldn't shut up in this one. I wish I knew more about this place as Im really intrigued as to what happened after the first two owners. I know I ended up saying "I don't know" a lot in this video so I know ok Ha! If you enjoyed this video please give me a thumbs up, subscribe and share me around.
If you'd like to donate to my paypal that would be awesome and thank you very much.

Hi folks I have to apologise for the quality of the video. Being a huge file originally at almost 4gb I had to shrink it down to a reasonable size to upload to youtube. The quality was ok before I uploaded it but youtube has degraded the video. Sorry about that. I hope you enjoy the explore anyway. Update on the quality of the video. I just watched part of my video on my phone and it was great quality so if you can watch it on your phone you'll enjoy it a lot better :)
mkuebler5 very interesting video. Thanks for sharing it with us all. You mentioned a weird little nook thing! I noticed a brown wooden box with a hole in the top which you could lift off. I believe there may have been either a bucket kept in that for toiletry requirements, which was then emptied. Now it may not have been but it certainly looks like one of many I've seen before.
Charla Ville Thank you very much for the additional information you have provide. I'm a bit dim when it comes to trying to search trove etc and just end up scratching my head and going around in circles. Thanks for watching and share as much information as you like if you have anymore about Abbey Green
Ifits historical its a pity it isnt being preserved
Charla Ville You can post as much as you like. All I could manage was some small info of Loder and then Henry Welch Curtis who apparently was the man that made Abbey green what it is. I'd love to know when it ended up being vacant and who lived there before it became abandoned
mkuebler5 Hello. I'm new here. Subscribed and really enjoying your vids. Have one question for now I hope you can answer when time permits. Does the issue of paranormal activity ever welcome you when you go on these investigations ?
People freak out when they see dead wildlife, like wildlife never die out in the WILD. Are you KIDDING me? That does suck about the sheep getting trapped. And he was kind to try & make sure the door doesn't do that again. The criticism is SO ridiculous.
It really concerns me to know that there are so many instances of animals being completely abandoned with the loss of their owner. We should really confer with our local animal rescue organizations about what can be done to protect them.
I loved this! Your appreciation for these old buildings is lovely. What others may see as junk and decay you find the beauty, as do I. Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing part of Aussie history with us all.
love the way you do research on the places you go, and give the respect the places deserve. thank you .
Wow... I actually sat through the entire thing. Kept me very interested. I can only imagine what this place would have looked like when it was up and running. I'm sure it was stunning.
Thank you for taking the time to go back and video it.
I really like the basic way you talk about things....so much better than all those other sites that talk up or denigrate the history of places.....you seem to hoour the history of the place.
Cheryl Cartwright That's why I subbed to him on the 1st video I ran across.
I finally know what an auger is. I have been looking up Scottish and English recipes while reading some historic fiction novels based in those areas during the 1600's. I love history and old houses definitely. I hope someone takes notice and tries to preserve the history of it all. Knowing where we were and the cost that our ancestors paid to get us here is priceless!
Ladies and Gentlemen did you know that when wanting to draw attention to a certain time in the video that you can put the at sign @ right if front of the time mentioned and others can click on that time and go right to it? Such as @5:34
Don't we all wish we could go back in time and see that the place really looked like in its prime.
What an amazing way to spend an evening.So interesting i went through four cups of tea watching! Thanks.
I want to thank you for this video. My Great grandparents owned a station in NSW, I only have one picture of it and I can only imagine what it all looked like. This was beautiful! This gave me some sense of being there, as it really could have been. I don't know what it was called, wish I did. I would love to find the old place. I live in the USA, so I don't think that is ever going to happen. Loved it, thanks for taking the time to walk all around like you did.
The may be stupid but it reminds me of the book The Thorn Birds. Thank you so much for documenting this wonderful estate. Job well-done!
Love this video and you did a great job explaining everything. Thank you!!
Excellent video! Quite a place there. It doesn't matter if the video is so long when there is so very much to see. Must have been a magnificent operation in the day. Thank you for taking us here.
What an amazing place! I enjoyed very much. So sad that it's not being taken care of. Thanks for the adventure!
Thanks for posting! I really love seeing these old places too.
Love the video , That is just simply to beautiful to describe ..
and as for your huffing and puffing what matters , you behind that camera making these videos for us ..
Amazing place. Thankyou so much for going back
GREETINGS FROM LONG ISLAND, NY, USA. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO. THE LAND IS BEAUTIFUL. LOVED THE OLD TREES. MAYBE THERE WERE CHAMBER POTS IN THE BEDROOMS AND THE SINKS WERE FOR PEOPLE TO WASH THEIR HANDS, SHAVE AND SPONGE BATHE. FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN YOUR VIDEO. HOPE TO SEE MORE. THANKS.
You did a wonderful job on this video,and I do appreciate it. It's so sad to see such beauty fall to waste when it begs to be restored. Every garden, every building and every household item should be brought back to life as much as possible.
This is my first video of yours. Loved it! Never can be to long. Also nice to not hear bad words. I will watch all of your videos tonight.
This is my favourite vid of yours so far. So glad you went back.
Great vid mate,i love these old homesteads just to wander about and listen to the bush and it makes me think off better times,i just subbed mate so keep up the good vids,thanks...
You needed to get get back in the saddle, as they say, and you did it. Super video. Many thanks for sharing
Wonderful video, thank you for taking me on this experience!! Love Australia 🇦🇺!!
I really enjoyed this video. I could listen to you talk all day. Thank you for filming this and sharing. God bless you.
Fascinating video, love the history of old places here & other Countries . Thank you ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
This was an amazing video...I loved the journey and all the info you shared! Bravo :)
Beautiful place and oh my the driveway with the trees 🌳 was lovely thanks for sharing 🧡🧡
Amazing Loved all of it Thank you so much I love Australian history I love all your videos Thank you for a job well done Regards Kerry
Great video record of an historic site. Love your vids! Very respectful of those who went before but also some surprises! Yikes!
The bird stickers on the wall used to come with chocolate bars in the early seventies. Used to collect them. Thanks for a great video
Great explore and very nice info about the place, and a lot too see around and inside, loved watching a long video. Thmx Mate.
Absolutely fantastic love the video. Farming is a tough business, you go from great beauty and joy to deep sorrow for what is needed to be done.
this video is amazing. I love old history and here in the US, we don't learn much about Australian history if any!
Great vid!! What an awesome place. I'll definitely have to go take a look next time I'm down that way.
Thanks for going back. I know the first time was quite rough. This is a beautiful estate. I too wish someone would buy it and fix it up.
Thanks for making such an awesome video. Looking foreward to more.
This place is amazing and so sad that all of the history is being lost. It is so beautiful and that driveway is so impressive. Great job I feel lucky to have been able to see this.
I feel so bad for those poor sheep that bottled themselves up through the swinging door. What they must have gone through until they died:( But anyway a thoroughly fascinating exploration, hardly noticed the length of the vid while eager to see what was coming next. I do hope the property finds its restorative angel! Thanks so much for banging yourself up to bring us this fascinating look into the past!
Awesome Video! You did a brilliant job of filming and documenting this place. I didn't see the previous video yet, I look forward to checking it out also. I wish I could use, my spirit box there and try to get some EVP's. Such a beautiful place. I Love your accent, and expressions , so very cool!!!
I AGREE.
I love long videos thank you so much XX keep up the great work x
This was one of your very BEST videos,, the information is invaluable & the history of this place amazing. Can't thank you enough for sharing this particular video as it's hugely important regarding our Australian history & the history of such an amazing sheep/cattle Station.
There was no 'Shed' for shearing or penning up the night before,, so this Station must have either shared a neighbors Shed, ot it collapsed & was cleared many, many years ago. Nearly all Stations had their own Sheds, even small ones, so this is a bit unusual.
The collapsed she further up the property is much too small, so it wasn't that one.....
PS - Now that there is a 'conservation' order on it, nothing is allowed to be renovated or repaired, so it will continue to disintergrate. That makes your video even all the more special :)
Thank you once again Michael,, this is truly a superb video xx
Great video Mike!! Well done! I was wondering why there wasn't thousands of views and then I seen that you just posted it. Thanks for entertaining us Mike!
so amazing.. i like this video and the way you narrate i gain history..👍👍👍
The long drop "keep dry, 4 doz large tins". The tins probably refers to the wood ash, leaves, soil, compost, or sawdust that they sprinkled on top of the feces to decrease the smell in the case of pit latrines without a water seal aka a dry pit.
Dear God,
please clean this house up and out and please make it Solerised and please restore it fully 💖
Thank You God 👍👍💖💖💖💞👼💌🌟
Amen 👍🌎💖🌟
Thank you so much for sharing... what an incredible place it would have been..
alot of history with old places like this..makes me think of how everything looked back when..
it was a awesome video Mike love seeing the old home there in Australia
2:15 when he walks in...sounds like something dying!!!
That was a great video. That was at one time a beautiful property.. If the original owners could come back and see it.. they would be shocked.
I guess animals want a nice dry place to die as well. Too bad animals are getting stuck in the old houses. Hope your historic trust can manage that site soon. Great video!
Loved this video. Such a shame it is in this shape. Scares me a little to think I worked so hard and my place may be the same in the future, but that's life. Thanks for taking the time to film this.
What a shame that it has not been restored and open to the public. History is heritage and it belongs to e everyone. Viewing the past strengthens us by reassuring us that daily life doesn't have to be easy for us to survive and grow and flourish.
*THE PLANT GROWING OUT OF THE TOILET IS CALLED A TURDBUSH*
New England? There is a New England in America-the states in the north east.
I live in the state of Pennsylvania and I know of a house that I obsessed about probably 15 years ago. It looked like a regular farm house until i got close. It was a log house that had siding nailed over the logs. I went to the library to age it. I pulled a screw out from below the stairs and since it didn't have a point it was made before 1850. The log ends told me it was German built. Turns out it was made in 1790, is a mile from a road, and is slowly falling down. I should go back and film it.
+dshreve34 Oh yes! I vote go back and film it! What an opportunity of a lifetime! I hope it will be rescued from collapse, then be restored. It would be such a terrible injustice if it were to just silently crumble away and no one realized they could help save it somehow.
'Wishing you the best and am looking forward to watching your video.
Thanks for the positive reply. The norm for UA-cam seems to insult, talk about race and whatever. I don't think folks realize how much history is here where I live (between Pittsburgh and Erie). In 1859 Drake drilled the first oil well a little up river from me. For a long time the Allegheny was the western frontier. Oil brought a lot of money (and old houses). My ancestor traded down the Ohio River and helped clean out rivers down south. They named Shreveport after him. I spend a lot of time outside and know of countless houses and cemetaries that no one knows about back in the woods. One cool thing I learned from that house is how they hung the front door. They used and "L" shaped piece of steel and pounded it into the log to the left of the door. Then they nailed a leather strap on the door so the strap slid over the upward part of the "L". I have two now that I found at flea markets because I recognized what they were. Thanks again for the encouragement.
Please if you know of old cemeteries that nobody else is aware of, put all of the information you can find on the site findagrave.com. That goes for Australia as well, findagrave is world wide.
Thank you. You are right. The old homesteads around here built in the late 1700s and early 1800s simply buried folks on the top of the hill, mostly facing west (like the sun going down). I could show you probably 10 that have less than 4 or 5 graves. Perhaps I should record them and go to that link. Thanks again.
I loved it and you.could watch for another hour. Thank u so much
Such a cool old place. Wish someone would renovate.
Absolutely stunning! I wish I lived there to fix it up to the original state. Stunning!
I WOULD HAVE JOINED YOU, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
Hi. Amazing property. I just cannot believe the sheep were left like that. I hope they did not die from starvation. Poor animals. I appreciate all the research you did. As for the breathing? A lot of us can definitely relate.

Gimme Kiss.....OmarGosh....love
What a beautiful place. Thank you.
Wow! Amazing thank you for sharing!
It called you back. I really do think so while you were
sleeping dreaming….❤️❤️❤️
Long but very nice views awsome place. I would love a place like that to see . From N. W. Indiana in U.S.A. Nice job.
It was very sad about the sheep in the last video. There was nothing you could do for it. I'm afraid I would have been affected as you were also. This was probably a really beautiful place in its day. Sad it's being left to decay. Great video! Pretty extensive place! Wow!
I love your accent! I'm glad you returned to this place, if nothing else for your own peace of mind.
I dropped my mouse at same time you said "Oops, sorry.!:....scared the h out of me ! Really like your videos especially your attempts to get some history !!
So glad you went back ! ☺
Love seeing historic locations. Beautiful property and great coverage. Shame it will not be around much longer. When I see places like this, I wish I had the money to restore and show what it looked like in it's Glory days.
When I was a young kid ( not so terribly long ago ) I lived in a house that had an out house & we heated with coal. It was my maternal grandmothers home. Seeing the old coal shed and the out house in this video sure brought back some memories....mostly good except that Out House! I hated having to run into that thing terrified a spider would jump on me or the wasps that got in would sting me. And the smell in there......don't ask! Terrible!. Great video BTW.......!
Watched EVERY minute & loved it. When you said the sheep went in & shut the door behind them & killed them self, I did laugh because of the way you said stupid sheep. Great video & an amazing place. 👍🏼
Hello from San Francisco area in Ca! I just subbed up. Husband and I married in SA (Morphett Vale) 1990 and drove from there to NSW to Sydney making some stops to drop off batteries for friends living off grid outside of Sydney. Have many family throughout Australia. Lived there for several months before returning to US. I just love seeing,hearing the sounds and sights. I have to tell you, I actually pulled my t shirt over my nose as you remarked at the place where porch had busted up with dead sheep inside😂🤢🤪
Poor sheep. I hope you get breathing gear, if you often visit abandoned places, care for those lungs mate.😊💗
Fascinating place it goes on for ages. Hope you got some boots on, wellies?
Bless you and thank you so much for taking us along. I like ur chatting. I think ur very humorous too.
Pacific*MM Tarot Welcome on board and thanks for watching my videos and thank you for the complement.
10:36 That hutch and trap door that seems to open to the outside at one point - may have been so that timber could be grabbed from the out side to throw on the fire -my parents had such a door and wood was either stacked inside or outside the door and at night when you needed wood for the fire you simply reached through and grabbed a log or two -was usually located near the kitchen
why would they l;et the sheep starve after he died ,... wtf? they should have auctioned them rather then leave em to starve
Rushelle alexandra eh just sheep 🤷♂️
it must have looked absolutely amazing with life in it wow. what a shame it's left to rot and be vandalized
I love the video and thank you so much for posting it. It does creep me out a little w/ all of the dead animals, I know they were slaughtered there, but I feel sure they would have been strict about disposing of the waste ?? And I know its a LOT of land but really THAT many just came up and died ?? I have lived around cattle all of my life and they lived for years and years just fine. It seems really weird to me..
I am near 80 now but remember the toilet that my dad built in the state of Misouri in USA was like the one you found made for 4 little girls to use!!
Thank you for the video. A very interesting property. Sad to see so much destruction. I always think of previous owners when I see these sad remains of once lively dwellings. Makes me sad to see the vandalism, which is different from the natural decay due to lack of ability to maintain the property. Cheers.
WOW you find some good ones. Love seeing the old way of life. Old sheep die. Another great one. 👍👍
I think you did an excellent job exploring this grand estate! poor dumb 🐑 poor old fox! thanks for taking me on a down under adventure!
What a shame it's still in such good shape. It could be so beautifully fixed up and saved. I love your enthusiasm and love for the whole place. Why are they all dead??? Omg really got stuck in the room?! Who'd they belong too??? Thank you what a beautiful piece of property.😀 I could just see a carriage coming down thru the line of trees. Take care.
Beautiful! It is sad that hisortians didn't take the place over and saved it and allowing just history to get swollowed up. I loved the drive with the trees in exact line like that. Would have been a beautiful drive! Or even a path in the garden!
Hello Mike I am from California I love watching your videos because of the country you are in. It looks so much like our homes in USA . I have seen so many in my life time that when you enter theses places I can smell them 😂🤭 I would explore before vandals started! I have seen so much in my life but all here in California. I gree up by an old war camp turned into a migrant camp! There are 100 yr old schools that we can look at very fun Thanks mate
Nice to try and imagine what it was like in its hay day. The homestead had a white mist like figure pass him just before exploring the pantry. Totally enjoyed the walk through.
Bird almost sounds like growling words get out ,out,out 😬👻
It took me awhile to get to this video. You know, I'm always surprised that some local garden club hasn't taken over funding for historic homes/estates, like this one. So much is lost by pure negligence. I'm not sure why communities don't take pride in the people who have come before. That being said... I always enjoy walking with you as you visit these interesting homesteads. I particularly like your spontaneous asides. Thank you, see you soon.
A really interesting video,thank you.
"That is one seriously big sheep, if that was a sheep" . 😂 Hello from Texas! Love your videos! They are very striking and have great footage. Keep doing what you are doing!
I just stumbled upon your video and I loved it. One thing I wondered about is how does the stench of death linger around for so long (apparently there's been some recent activity on this property). Thank you for taking the time to share this with the world. New subscriber from the USA
mariaandcream I'm wandering the same thing! I was about to ask myself. I know it's possible after a year maybe but years and years? Weird
It isn't years and years. The land is still used for livestock, many farmers re-build a modern house over at a different section of the property. The land could be leased to a neighbouring farmer for stock grazing purposes, whilst the owner lives in the city and the house stopped being used. Grazing land is highly sought after, but the house isn't necessarily needed. The land isn't abandoned - the house is just not cared about.
Someone put a lot of time to work on this place. That really makes it so sad no one kept the estate up. I would love to have a beauty place like this.
The rooms in that house are HUGE. How the hell do you heat a place like that?? Good God, that would be an absolute NIGHTMARE.
Those old wood burning stoves put out incredible heat. They wore many layers of clothes and went to bed early anyway. They were up at the crack of dawn and got the stove going for cooked meals, which re-heated the house.
Kristin Burton
Oh, I know they do, I love wood stoves and have one myself (the real thing, not some fake fireplace looking thing that burns pellets) BUT....if you don't have a fan nearby to circulate the heat throughout the entire room, it will remain cold except for the area around the stove. Not only that but you're talking about mass amounts of firewood to keep a house that big warm til morning!
love this place. thank you
how come no water buckets for any of the sheep? That's why their all dead! Government should place a keeper there for goodness sake. So sad, a piece of your history falling to ruin. Maybe your video will bring some attention to the preservation of this huge property! Well done.
We learn more about history on you tube then we did in school. Thank you for sharing what an amazing find. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Stay safe out there brother. Maybe where a mask next time and gloves. Keep up the amazing work.
When you have workers on a farm, you need access to a bathroom without coming in and tracking thru the house. So that explains that outside entrance.
Never heard an outhouse called a thunder box before. Great term!
greyeaglem lol thunder box mmmhm
greyeaglem I never heard of an out house called 'thunder box' till seeing the vid. Maybe they used it during a thunder storm? Could it have been hit by lighting, hence the name. :)
Thunder box is what outhouses were known as! Great term. Not sure where it originated, but yes, very widely used
WIDELY USED WHERE? I LIVE IN NEW YORK, USA. HAVE USED OUTHOUSES BUT NEVER HEARD ONE CALLED A THUNDERBOX.
If you ever walked past a johnny-house after someone had eaten a huge bowl of
beans you would understand why its called a thunder box. Thunderous gas!
oh yeah the trees are huge! amazing
