- Hey explorers! This is another beautiful old farm house that was abandoned around 1971.
Sitting secluded and lonely in it`s own peaceful setting the old gem along with all of its out buildings and sheds depict a ghost farm that was once a thriving and bustling hive of agriculture. Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Thanks mate, stirred a lot of memories for this 80 year old South Aussie. I used to help my father-in-law on his farm on the south Fleurieu Peninsular. Footrot Flats country, with cattle & harvesting hay, & I'm very familiar with the hay rakes, bailers & elevators rusting away on this farm. I CANNOT believe you stuck your hand in a red-back's web @ 40:04 with a very nice example one of the world's deadliest spiders hanging about 6 inches from your hand...!!! I love your work!!!🕷🕸🤠👍
Yes, we need to be grateful, every day, plumbing, heating, all kinds of eateries and shops.❤
Eerie,and beautiful, all your explores. Appreciate these.❤
So quiet we can hear the distinct calls of various birds. The first little birds at your approach sounded welcoming. You are so respectful, searching for a proper entry to the home before resorting to a window. The little oval braid rug in front of the tv is like the ones my grandmother braided from strips of old wool clothing. They make tough rugs that can really take a lot of generations of walkers. Thank you for a lovely way to spend a stormy evening in front of my laptop
The birds are always very relaxing. Glad you enjoyed Judith :-)
Wow, what a great video. Knew it would be when I saw the length of it!! Sadly, my Mum didn't get to see this one, as she passed away pretty suddenly last Friday (4/8). But the whole family watched it in honour of her 6/8. Take care xx
❤ sorry about the loss of your mother.
Be thankful that you had her so long, my parents had me late so they died when I was young, I don't have one family alive now.
@@chrisclarke7828 I am VERY thankful!!!
That was a beautiful farm and definitely peaceful. Cool things to see!! Thank you Paul for the walk & cheers
💜☮️
What. A. Treat! Thank you, Paul. ❤❤✌️
What an absolute 52.5 minute treat ... thank you, Paul. From the original late 1800s house build with electricity upgrades over the years and sheds added to house the modern equipment as it was needed and purchased.
So glad you enjoyed this one Ken :-) A true old outback farm as it once was. The bustling sounds and movement of agriculture now replaced by peaceful birdsong :-)
If i could. Id live there for sure.
Just perfect peace and quiet.
I love all these old Aussie farm houses. Remind me of my grandparents house.
Fantastic. Love watching the farmhouse episodes. Can't get enough of them.
I think those sheds with the pits are for livestock, I believe the pits are for the manure and urine to run off into and then get pumped off for use as fertilizer. At least that is what I have seen setups like that used for here in the states. The floors inside would be grating, so the waste can be washed into the pit. Normally chickens or pigs. The one with the cinder blocks and sliding doors looks like the sides raise up like a chicken house. Hard to say without seeing how they are set up inside. Very interesting place, thanks for taking us along!!
Thanks ludercoarms :-) I figured something to do with washing. Thanks for watching again :-)
Hello Paul what another great Explorer those three tubs on the side of the barn is I believe are for the waste from the animals🐄🐎🐓🐤🐥🐖🤠 my parents had an old washing machine like that one the old ringer I used it also thank you for this video I really enjoyed it until next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York❤😊
I'm first ... now I'll enjoy the video 😁
Hi Ken, cheers mate! :-)
Explored another Treasure cove of time well lived back then family. Wow this place takes right back into my child hood life helping farmers and driving them gems tractors cows, sheep , pigs chickens. Thank you so much for this homestead of land:) That home blew me away 1 room perfect untouched the other rooms ceiling fall down crazy nutty how mother nature can destroy :(. Thanks again for this 1 of a kind homestead .:) Cheers to you and be safe my friend.
It seems as though the saying “The more things change, the more they stay the same” is true! I follow a farmer in Iowa that grows soybean and feed corn, so many of the machine you encountered were very much like what modern farmers are still using today! Of course now they are much more high tech, but the basics are still the same! Dig the furrows, plant the seed, fertilize the seed, harvest the crop, store the crop, sell the crop. Now computers digs exactly the correct hole depth, mix and deliver the exact proper fertilizer amount, tell you your crop yield on each row, and keep the crop warm moving and dry during storage time. Then when you go to sell it, the machines at the co-Op measure the seeds, how damp or dry they are, and weigh them right from the truck. It’s amazing to watch. Take care Paul!
Amazing location (peaceful) beautiful old home.
Absolutely very peaceful d.parisi :-) Cheers for watching
What makes me sad is seeing a much simpler time in life, a time without iPhones, web, video games, where time was spent playing outside, climbing trees, talking with family around the dinner table at night! I was born in 1971 and I’m so sad that kids now will never know how beautiful it was then.. Someone being shot, murdered etc was not anything you heard of daily, at least where I grew up..thank you for the video, it’s bitter sweet ❤
What a great explore. It's always fun to imagine what an old house was like when it was intact and lived in. Lots of memories in those walls.
Wonderful video love the old farmhouse and the old machines keep up the great work great
Wow, this old place treasure trove of stuff to look at could keep scratching around here for hours. Cheers for sharing. Thanks :) MM
Glad you enjoyed it MM :-) You could easily spend a day here! Cheers! :-)
They look like Pig pens. Great as usual 👌 thanks for sharing 👍
At 26:30 that's a chaff cutter, you would cut sheaves of hay made by a binder into very small pieces for easy eating, a binder is seen at 35:00. Binder canvases are seen at 45:03, they are the conveyer belts for the binder that carry the hay. brilliant video mate. 👍
When i was aa kid in the early 60's here in NZ mum had a wringer washing machine similar to that one .The owners arent very house proud. i think they lost their broom. She a gem of a home .It will be on the cover of "Homes and Gardens:" next week. Nothing like a wire wove bed and a kapok mattress for a great nights sleep. Would have been a nice place once and busy. Awesome vid.
Cheers Andrew 👍🙂 I remember my grandmother had one too! Cheers for watching 👍😁
The old washing machine, I remember my grandmother had one like that when I was a little girl. So interesting looking at these abandoned farms & buildings. Wonder why these places become abandoned. Thank you for showing us Paul, really enjoy watching your videos of exploring beautiful old properties.
Cheers for the great support pj, glad you enjoy these videos! :-)
Love that old blue Metters stove!! What a fun explore Indigo!
Hi Jennifer, glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)
This old abandoned farm looks
scary but it is also a really nice
place to explore and this is in
a very nice remote area of Australia
this is another really great video Thank You.🤠👍
Glad you enjoyed it roger. Yes it did look ominous but it became very peaceful and the old ornaments on the mantle gave off a kind and caring past of family. WOuld love to go back 60 years and see it in production :-) Cheers again mate
I am picturing this home in its prosperous working days. Then fast forward to the 70s. This home was some epic find and explore.
It looks like it had a lovely garden I think they might have had a few kids as well
Thanks again for a great explore! The berry tree is a black laurel, I've had the world's worst hangover from laurel Berry wine 😑🤣 I felt ill when I saw them 😱
Those sheds I thought might be for pigs, the pits would've been covered and collected the manure which creates methane gas which could be used 🤔
We jam in Tassie with laurels, never knew about wine .
Hi Sandra! Haha sounds like those berries can liven up a party?? :-) Yes they definitely could be for pigs and it seemed like a washing station or something!?? Thanks for watching :-)
You are right. The Excement is good fertilisers. The Krump spreader was used for spreading fertiliser. I thought they may be augar pits for grain, but i wasn't sure and have lived on family farm.
@@ghostrider9978 I'm in Tassie, done jam as well, but I'm off anything laurel berry now
@@urbexindigo5164 maybe it was for washing the clip?? That would make sense! As usual I was over thinking it 👍
I cannot express how much I appreciate you sharing this video. It was amazing. Your respect for the past is something I appreciate so very, very much. It's almost a sense of reverence you are able to convey through your observations and and comments. Thank you.
Hi Suzette 😊 glad you are enjoying the videos, I love making them and yes I love and fascinated with old homes and old days. Thanks for the support and for watching 🙂👍
Love this explore!! So peaceful. Beautiful property at one time I’m sure. Love to see the old relics. 🥰🥰🥰
that was an epic explore, thanks
Thank you Paul -it isn’t a Sunday arvo without your video xxx
What a awesome old farm house 🏠. Thanks for the explore 😀. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤
Good find mate ,, laurel tree at the start. Made excellent jam back home in Tassie.
Cheers for watching again mate :-)
Some of those outbuildings and the two front rooms still look good considering the farm was abandoned over half a century ago. Love the corner fireplaces and those chairs have an art deco look. The chrome legs and back feature would polish up well! Beautiful large Peace Lily near the first shed.
Hi LWF :-) Yes the front part is amazingly in good shape for its time frame! Abandoned before I was even born! I think back and imagine all the things that have come and passed even since then!! Cheers for watching :-)
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me about Forgotten since 1971 this old ghost farm has so much to explore! Sheds n stuff everywhere! it was a good explore and i can't wait to see your next video iam from the U.S.A and i will always show supportto your channel i gave you a thumbs up and shared you out and God Bless.
Hello Paul, great video as always enjoy every bit very large farm they was very, very, busy love the lemon tree. So much to see. Thank you for sharing.
It's amazing how many places are left to rot.
Enjoyed the opening.
Very nice.
Glad you enjoyed it leed119 :-) Thanks for watching
@@urbexindigo5164 Thank you for the time and care you take making and posting your videos.
ANOTHER GREAT EXPLORE PAUL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Cheers guys for watching again! :-)
A real gem of a place, that one! I can't believe you didn't mention that Golden Fleece drum or get some good close ups of it 🤔 Also would love to see more of those wooden crate boxes, some of them will have advertising on them and are quite collectable. Cheers.
Hi Ross, bugger I missed those things, was so much to look at and try pay attention too! I will try better for those things next time :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 No worries, I reckon it would be a lot to absorb, a place like that, I'd have to be there for hours 😀
What a beautiful ,peaceful place to live the old TV s were big to accommodate all the tubes .Another good one Paul Thank you.👍❤️🇺🇸
Absolutely beautiful farm, I love your old farm explores!!!
I was born 5 months back in 1971 so the whole house and I have something in common we are both 52 years of age but what a beautiful old farmhouse and the farm machines it was good to see a Golden Fleece petrol can Golden fleece is not a round any more but what a great explore and it was a surprise with the old television set Retro Vision not many electronic stores like Retro Vision but thanks Paul for a great video
This was interesting Paul. One thing I wondered about was why the front door had the doorknob in the middle of the door; I’d never seen that b/4. On the inside it was to one side as usual. The Peace Lily bush was beautiful! And the luscious lemons…wished I could have picked a couple thru my iPad😊. I imagined when it was a working farm and the sounds of the machinery,the animals, people talking, and the birdsong…now alone the birds. And Mr.Rat or whatever creature living in the stove!😁. Thank you for the explore👍🏻.
Loved every minute!
Thankyou for another amazing explore, much love from Newcastle xx
What a beautiful find, from the house 🏡 to that gorgeous yard with all trees 🌳
You have some amazing followers...... your commentary keeps each of us in our own way glued to the screen. Thank you for keeping me interested to the end. Good stuff brother.
Cheers slong8941 :-) I am glad these videos are interesting and I do appreciate you all commenting with nice support. Many more to come ! :-)
Hi Paul
There sure was a lot to see. It’s very quiet there. I love the sounds of the
birds chirping in the trees. It was very interesting and as always you have
done a great job filming. Nice work Paul. See you in the next one.
Stay safe and well.👍🐈😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a cool house. Loved that retro screen door at the front of the house 😍💚💚💚.
Another great explore, love when they have heaps of shed & out building thanks for another beautiful home & video cheers
Gosh what a beautiful peaceful place, would love to live there. Thank you for another wonderful explore.
Glad you enjoyed it Pam, yes very peaceful :-)
What a lovely house it must have been in its heyday. It looks like there was no running water. Neither the rub or the kitchen sink had faucets/taps.
Hothouse, lemon tree, berry tree, strawberry punnets, preserving jars. Looks like they were maybe producing fruit on a small scale. I would have liked to have seen a closer shot of the old torpedo shaped Hoover in the corner at 21:44. Good stuff Paul.
No worries mate, great comments again and cheers for the support :-)
Paul, your videos always spark a nostalgic reaction in me & this one was no exception. They often remind me of my late mother & father & my childhood long ago..where does it all disappear to I wonder ? 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
Im glad you like these videos Sally :-) I am nostalgic too and really love doing these videos. Cheers again :-)
Nice old mantle-less 'bee-hive' style fireplace 21:32. Those were popular in the 'storybook homes' in Los Angeles in the 20s
Great place great video Paul.
again thank you so much for the tour.
I love vidéo BRAVO 👍👍👍😺😺😺😺👋👋👋👋
Another fascinating explore, thanks again Paul. Particularly cool for me as I was born in July 1971. Interesting to see a tongue and groove timber ceiling in one room and a pressed tin ceiling in an adjacent room, presumably constructed at the same time. Perhaps the tin was part of an early 20th century upgrade, that was only partially done. Really enjoying these videos!
Glad you enjoyed it again Matt, I though you would :-)
Thankyou for sharing.
Have you ever walked up to a place thinking it was empty & then it became clear that someone was living there? Did you have to pretend to be looking for someone to ask directions from, or something?
Must have been a bit more noisy when the farm was active. Animals, workers, visitors, machinery, deliveries, etc.
I love the way the birds are calling out to each other about you.
Love this. Seemed like it was harder to hear you tonight.
Hi Kitty! :-) Haha yes while I was editing the video I thought gee I am speaking a bit lower and I remember feeling because it was so peaceful that it probably just naturally happened to maintain the peaceful ambience. :-) Glad you enjoyed!
@@urbexindigo5164 our family loves watching you. We look forward to Saturday evenings for your next video. We are so excited you responded to us. Greetings from Texas.
🌟wow what an awesome old gem, sitting in the beautiful countryside just waiting to be loved again so peaceful and quiet love it. These are my absolute favourite. So much character. Just when you think all is lost to get in use the climb through the window trick works every time! 🤭thank you so much for the tour 😊❤🌟x :-)
Glad you enjoyed it Megan! Yep the window just had to do as we were not ending there video without a look! :-)
Production of an exploration is very time consuming.
Another great explore.
The Krump machine. Look like a superphostphate ( fertiliser and super) spreader
The Halls soft drink bottle, Seppelts vinegar and Dr Pat, I haven't seen for year.
Hi Robert :-) Yes it can be sometimes mate. Glad you enjoyed, cheers for watching :-)
Closer look they are pig sties and they are (effluent) pits so Paul you were right septic tanks. It also makes sençe what the krupp fertiliser spreader could have been used for?
Probably 60s vintage as you said, Paul. 17:35. It only has the one tuning dial which makes it pre-UHF that came out in the mid 60s
Wow, another really green setting. I would be scared walking around without a trekking pole to prod around in front of me for old hidden wells. That old stone and red brick is lovely. Did you ever find the old outhouse? I hope you took some of those lemons with you.
Hey ,heard theres some empty houses out in penfeild where they are going to do the RAAF base ..have you heard ?
So sad all the memories in these old homes
An absolute beauty Paul, this is as close to the floorplan of our home as l have seen to date! Just a few minor differences.
Really interesting video Paul. I think the TV would be mid '60s, as the early sets had a separate safety glass in front of the tube. Later tubes (like this one), had an integral safety glass. It would have been quite new if the house was abandoned in 1971.
The last verse of the 23rd Psalm seems appropriate for the house, I would say late 1800s judging from the dome topped windows, set in a brick facade, so typical of the same period in Britain of the time. must have been quite nice in its day. Cheers
Oh wow thank you absolutely amazing
You are so welcome Sue, thanks for watching, I knew you would like this one :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 you know every day I keep my eye open for more old farm houses. You make my day, I sit with a cuppa and a chocolate and watch my favourite UA-camr . Thank you for making my day. So when’s the next one lol simply can not wait 🙌🙌🙏
i would say this house is definitely late 1800s for sure it has that look about it
\
Always enjoy the videos, it does make me wonder are this abandoned farms were owned or did they have tenants & to have so many empty homes, is farming now to difficult to continue doing.
From what I understand, those RetraVision sets were made by AWA for that specific chain. Just like HG Parmer store appliances (in NSW) were made by Astor Electronics - again, from what I remember.
Someone owns these properties, the local council knows who, as somebody is paying the rates, they will never let anybody off not paying rates. These places are family owned, probably internal disputes so nobody gets anything and these beautiful places are wasted. Jeeez, let me loose here. Great video, thanks.
Beautiful house, beautiful yard, everything is just so cool, but it took me four hours to watch (customers keep interrupting!) so I've forgotten my comments, but one thing I keep forgetting to ask on these old farm houses - are the bricks on the house just for decoration, or do they help shore up the doors & windows & corners? Thank you for the videos!!!!
Those berries look like elder berries in the states. Not sure if they grow your way.
They could be for sure The Lightbright :-) Thanks for watching :-)
Nice one mate❤
The New Holland 471 is a small hay bale elevator and if you google it you can see one still being used in action, Do you remember which video you got into a hole to save a large lizard? I want my daughter to see it because she loves reptiles.
Hi Debra :-) Cheers for watching and the info. Here is the video. ua-cam.com/video/nCwYuUsHRjs/v-deo.html there is also another lizard toward the end of this one too :-) ua-cam.com/video/V6F8IasCang/v-deo.html
Hello Paul.
They sure had a lot of out buildings. Not a bad place though. I did not see where there was a toilet or outhouse.
9:42. We get a peep inside. 🤢🤮 Are you sure you want to go in? 23.55 What ever is living in the oven probably has a very long family history of generations of its family living in that oven. The pressed tin on the hallway ceiling tells us how beautiful this residence once was. The tin roof looks like it has been painted with chalk paint. The first thing you would have to do if you wanted to restore is put a new roof on. And probably win the lotto. Looking around in the garden you see some beautiful plants that are thriving on neglect and here we do all this flash stuff to get the same plants to grow in the town garden and fail. Maybe I’ll just leave them and see how they go from now on. 44:13 I was thinking pig breeding shed. It makes you wonder what happened to the last owners as I think it may have been a big and up and running farm business by the equipment in those sheds. Thanks for this video it was very interesting. Did anyone have a clue what the 3 buildings with the pits out the back. At first I though slaughter house but why have 3 then I thought chicken house. The pits may have collected waste that could have been pumped out and used for fertiliser.
Hi Tina :-) Yes nature is just getting on with things here and it was very peaceful. A big project if it was ever so lucky to be loved again. Yes I think also others have mentions pigs or chickens for those sheds. Cheers for watching :-)
I think ,mind you not a Aussie by a long shot, it was piggery. The pit area towards the end, butcher station????? Farrow house???? Interesting find.
Hey Paul know it's long shot but could you get some the gorgeous Australian birds on film. Cockatiels, cockatoos, crows, etc etc. Thanks
I was thinking that too. Slaughter house?
This was a interesting one it really was if they almost up and left considering theres a wheel barrow with wood in it and a washing machine with what looked like some clothes still in the press
Have you been to Hammond. It's a small ghost town. It's also featured in the movie The Shiralee with Bryan Brown starring in it.
Never been Steph, but sounds interesting! Cheers! :-)
Paul per chance have you ever experienced sensing the presence of previous occupiers of any of the properties you document. In my previous working life as a rural property valuer often working very remote I had a few unusual moments, one in Far North Queensland that saw me turn and sprint out of an abandoned homestead before I realised I was moving. Pure sdrenal fight or flight stuff. Something very evil had occurred there I was later informed.
Hi James :-) Well I certainly do like to feel the vibe of each place I explore and yes some have distinctively different ones. I cant say I have sensed an actual entity trying to communicate although once I heard a man clearing his through with a coughing that I can still not explain :-) Gee you would have seen a lot of nice old places in your travels as a valuer? Cheers for watching mate
Have you ever felt a spirit in all these old houses there must be some who are supposed your there
it would of been very lonely living out there so quite
The Proper People, explorers from the US call it “a chair just chillin”
That old farm looks like it was a Piggery, and the small sheds are farrowing sheds for the sows and Piglets.
I always wonder why these properties don’t get sold off ?
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Merci pour la visite, j'ai reconnu le nom "Electrolux" pour moi cela fait remonter des souvenirs de vieille réclame ( mot qui était utilisé dans les années 60 qui veux dire publicité). La télévision est plus récente mais je n'ai jamais vue ce modèle (mais un modèle plus ancien des années 50, une seule chaine possible un écran plus petit, mais cela ressemblait à un gros meuble de chevet).
Je me demande si les chaise garnis (celles qui ce ressemble avec du simili cuir rouge) ne sont pas des années 50
La remorque KL CRUMP je me demande si cela ne servait pas soit à semer soit à traiter les champs (pesticide, engrais). L'outil juste à côté c'est pour aplanir le champ, il devait y avoir un autre outil qui servait à briser les mottes qui sont après le labourage du champ. La machine avec la grande roue, je ne pense pas que c'était pour le bois, cela me fait plus penser à une égreneuse, comme pour la maïs (les deux outils précédents serait pour le même usage.
L'outil que vous avez filmé 42:16 environ je me demande si ce n'était pas pour faire monter les épis de maïs vers le séchoir ou les bottes de pailles (ce que vous appelez balles), j'ai vue, mais je ne sais plus si c'était chez mes grands parent ou chez mon oncle.
Je crois que les box que vous pensez être utilisé pour les vaches servaient pour les cochons. Je n'ai pas vue les mangeoires (on trayait les vaches pendant qu'elles mangeaient en France).
à 47:34 c'est une moissonneuse batteuse la tête est pour le maïs.
Il y avait un élevage de cochons les fosses servaient à récupérer le lisier (cela pouvait servir d'engrais pour les champs)
Hi Patricia 😊 thanks for the detailed comments I think you are most likely correct for all those points. You must have been on the farmland through your life? 😊 Thanks for watching, Cheers from Adelaide, Australia 🙂👍
@@urbexindigo5164 Merci, j'ai la chance d'avoir de la famille issus de la paysannerie. Ma mère était fille de paysan. Un seul de ses frère a repris la ferme, une de ses sœurs c'est mariée avec un éleveur de vache laitière. Donc j'ai vue certains outils agricole en action, et pour l'élevage dans une ferme vous avez de tout en petite quantité les porcheries c'est très différent d'une étable, comme un élevage de volaille ou un élevage de lapin. Vous risquez de croiser ce type d'exploitation. Je trouve triste la perte d'un patrimoine agricole. S'il vous plait il y a des détails architectural qui n'existe pas en France (vous vous régaleriez en visitant certaines de nos bâtisses)
The tv might date
back to the mid 1950s..
I'm pretty sure the bush you walked past at the 4.46 mark are not blackberries but rather the berries on a deadly night shade bush. It could be a fatal mistake to get those two mixed up.
It's called a black laurel Shez, we make jam from them here in Tasmania, and killer wine.
Yep, that wine will kill you. But not literally ❤️
I was suprised that there were no outhouse, dunny…. Apart from the bath tub in the « laundry » there was no « bathroom » per say.
Yes I did notice this too Jose, I could not see the outhouse anywhere! May have been hidden in bushes. Cheers for watching :-)
Curious as to have you ever encountered any hostile farmers/owners etc over your time exploring? I know of many old abandoned houses near where i live and have always wanted to check them out purely for the fact my father was a carpenter and the appreciation i have for old skilled tradesman as they certainly dont build things to last now-a-days but am to paranoid that im going to get blasted by angry farmers
Hi mate :-) Yes a few times where I had to explain myself wandering around with a camera. Best to have permission but they were ok once they knew I was not there to steal or vandalize. Lots of these farms are on leased land and the actual owners live a long way away so if you take the plunge just be prepared to explain yourself. I have to take full responsibility and accept all consequences if caught without permission.
We have a Retra Vision store here in Kadina.
My home town in Victoria had a little RetraVision store too Steph! :-)
Ratravision were branded tv's I believe they were made by Phillips
