Huge Victorian era Farmhouse with stuff and old rusty cars/lots of sheds too! 1950`s add ons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Hey house lovers and explorers! This video I take you through and around a grand old late Victorian era farm house! Huge home even when built the around the 1950`s more additions were made improving the kitchen and wet room at the back. Furniture and old TV have been left behind suggesting the home was last lived in around the late 70`s or early 80`s. A stack of later newspapers may tell otherwise? 6 rusty automobiles dating back to the 1930`s sit worn and weathered. Many out buildings and sheds to see also so I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did. Loved the trek out to this one on a nice warm South Australian day amongst the flies and nature! Cheers for watching :-)

This had nice big rooms and big kitchen and hallway. Nice ole place.
Wow this old girl would be worth bringing back to her former glory, one nice old house ❤❤
Amazing to see that the original walls have lasted better than the newer walls of the add ons.
Damn I'd move there in a heart beat
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 ☮️💜
Saturday afternoon fun!
Hello All!
😎👍 🇺🇸
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
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!
Hi Damien :-) Cheers mate, so glad you are enjoying these videos and the history we try and unravel as we go :-) I am learning more and more all the time especially about the machines which you guys always help me with in the comments. Many vids to come :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 I think the cart you thought was perhaps donkey drawn, was actually an oxy/acetylene trolley lying on it's back.
🌟oh my gosh wow what a beautiful gem, love it. The hallway, wrap around veranda, you could just sit on a bench swing and look out at the countryside ahh one can only dream 💭 super classic old cars. We love to find old newspapers. A step back in time. Thank you so much again for showing us around. ❤😊x🌟:-)
Glad you enjoyed it Megan :-) My pleasure showing this one, many more still to come :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 beautiful can’t wait to see more of these beautiful gems ❤️
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
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. 😊
Cheers Ken :-)
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!!!
Great comments again mate :-) You know your stuff, glad you are enjoying these explores and all the details :-)
The two Holdens together were an FC wagon and an EK ute.
What a beautiful old house, and the flies just help us feel like we are on the adventure with you
Yes especially if you live in Texas, flies are a screaming nuisance.........if you know what I mean, they are sooooo irritating
great work showing these old joints , you know the ceiling panels were decorative pressed gal sheet metal tiles about 2ft x 2ft that are nailed to the ceiling , my old man had a house in wellington nsw with that ceiling , i think the station wagon is a 65 xp falcon the mini is the last of em about late 70's , the ute is a 59-61 fb or ek holden the wagon is 58 fc holden the old sloper i guess is an old british austin about 1940 , cheers big ears i love your dedication thanks for sharing
Cheers billbearback :-) Have come across many old places with the decorative pressed metal ceilings some in great condition still too! Cheers for the info mate as im not that good with car models :-) Thanks for watching
Would of been an amazing home in its day! Love the huge rooms, fire surrounds and that amazing hallway!!
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.
Did you see the first car in the long grass. It was a mini minor.
Taillight are XR/XT type the XW had the squarish ones.
Agreed, Andrew ... XR, XT or XW S/Wagon although the XW did not have the round tail light cluster. FC S/W and FB or EK ute. I'm guessing a 1934 Chevrolet which had the fabric insert roof. Plus of course the Mini.
@@67daffy I'm with you about the Falcon tail light cluster 👍
You're right its been so long since i've seen one lol.@@kenem1946
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.
My dad had that exact same FC holden station wagon same colour scheme back in the late 60s early 70s, best times.
Cheers Tonybony :-) The good ol days!
I remember mattresses like that when I was a kid.
Oooh, no excitement and sadness at 1.17 and 37.50. :( ... another Mini. Gone to the grave, Minimad is now Minisad lol. What a large property, so much stuff just left behind. So many stories these old places could tell. Thanks for sharing. Cheers MM :)

😉👍
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!
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.
The most amazing thing about those leaves they curl closed for a short time.
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!!
Cheers Shannon 🙂 glad these old homes spark a lot of memories for many viewers. Many more to come, thanks for watching 👍😁
THANKS for sharing this video was agood video keep up the good work the place did not lookedlike it was not lived in a long time i am from the U.S.A and i really enjoyed and God Bless and thanks
That shot when you first zoomed in. Such a beautiful shot of this old home
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 .
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.
Wow! That would have been a beautiful home back in the day! Love the huge rooms and hallway!! Thanks for the awesome explore Paul. 😊
That was a huge piece of land. Loved that porch. Great explore.
Cheers Tamara :-)
What a beautiful old girl. The house was in pretty good shape and had massive sized rooms and high ceilings.
The white station wagon with the round tail lights is an XR or XT Ford Falcon.
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. 🤠👋🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Cheers again Roger :-)
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
Great old home!
That is a huge house.
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.
A Nash it is, looks to be 1935 model.
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. Notice the retaining bracket with chain.
Nice big tour Paul!
Stayin tuned! 🤠👍 🇺🇸
Hey John! :-) Cheers again mate!
That’s exactly what it is. 👍🏻
Hi Paul from Arizona USA! Your videos are so fun to watch thank you😊
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.
Thanks for an interesting tour of this former farm👍🏻😊💕
Hi Paul. This place is even better than the last one! Love the big rooms and nice fireplaces. Thanks again for a great video. Take care. ❤
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
Love this explore. I'm sure that it was grand back in it's day.
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.
Hi Willy :-) Great to know that information. So glad our history is adored and preserved although so many of these old ones would be great to have people loving them again. :-) Cheers for watching
Thank you, Willy!!!@@willystanford
Another great find.That reminds me of my exes grandparents farm in Horsham.They had a big beautiful Victorian home that was the original house, that they used for the shearers.I always wanted to do it up.Last i heard they knocked it down.Shame,it was lovely but it was crumbling sadly.
Those Flys aren't big enough to worry about landing on the lens,they can't block out too much of the video 📹 😂😂😂
Thank goodness Julia! :-)
great old pad, looks like fb/ek ute and fe/fc wagon
unsure of the other old banger
What a cool explore great video thanks for sharing 👍😀🤠
A lot of the homesteads I have been around in US have Mimosa trees around them.
I always think of the families that lived there and took care of it, they would probably be sad of the current situation. But I love what you do! Thank you for sharing your experiences!!!
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.
At 32:55 that is a hand truck for moving barrels.
I thought for oxygen/ acetylene bottles.
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
For any US viewers the Holden was owned by General Motors 😊
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
👍
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 remember our first colour TV it was a Rank Arena aswell
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.
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
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
Absolutely loved it!
STOP RIGHT THERE!!
I need the address I’m moving in🙌 Paul this house has everything I could possibly dream of. Show cars and all. Come visit me in a 100 years cars house will be back to original. Lol I’d trade my home my cars for these absolutely bloody incredible time capsules.
Thank you for bringing childhood memories back to life.
Love your content.
NEXT PLEASE ❤
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 ?
LOVE the fireplace and the archway such a beauty , 👍🇦🇺
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.
Curtains @20.09 .. sun filters! 1980's must have. ☺
This would have been a lovely busy home and farm in its day. Thank you Paul :)
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. 😱
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 ☺
i thought the earlet stages of light switches were black to begin with loveley home very well made thankyou for sharing
Very pretty old home.
REALLY enjoying .your tour I’m subscribing love the old days , was that a hills hoist clothesline.? THANKYOU For sharing 🇦🇺👍
Hi Dianne😊 so glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes it was a hills hoist 👍 many more videos to come. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Great find
Wow this Is a awesome explore Paul.
Lots of awesome stuff left behind.
All the old car wrecks.
All the chrome on those cars. Fantastic.
Brilliant.
You make these videos a lot of fun.
What a brilliant find.
Colt from Clearwater FL
Glad you enjoyed it therealcoltstonewolfe :-) They are certainly a lot of fun to find and film. Cheers for the support :-)
That white station wagon looks like an 1967 XR Falcon station wagon
that is one huge house
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
Cheers Kym :-) Great info, glad you guys in the comments can fill in my lack of knowledge with those things. Cheers for watching :-)
Would love to know the history of this old girl ,and who lived there stunning archways . Really loving this THANKYOU 😊
1963 FB Holden Ute. 1956 to 1960 Holden FE or FC station wagon. My Family owned those models back in the sixties. 👍
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.
Hey Paul. You remembered the Aeroguard.👍 What a beauty of a home. So much still intact. The amazing old mantels and cast iron inserts. The doors and door frames. No frills but simple elegance.
So glad you enjoy the explore. We enjoy going along for the ride. What does Urbex Indigo mean?
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. What a journey they have been, my favourtite of such is the old Villa off Main North Road, Gepps Cross if I remember. Ute looks like my Grandpa's old 55' Ford Mainline. Anyway 5 STARS mate.
Hygiene.............
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li?
Cheers Gene! :-) I do intend to follow up on several of these old homesteads for the exact reason you stated. What stories they could tell. :-) Thanks for the great support mate
yeah you got the last one right, an old shearing shed, raised woden floor for shears an wool. Mal
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!
Dope explore
3:12 check out the 2 phase bridging on that stobie pole 😂
Would’ve been a stunning home in its day
The International 726 is a 1950 model....and the " 🐴 cart " is for holding and moving the oxygen and asentaline tanks around the shop...its just laying down.....
The Ute is an old FB or EK Holden 1960 to 1962, the wagon next to it is an old FC 1958 1959 Holden
Have you ever explored in another country. On holiday or not.😊😊
It is sad to see these walk aways. Subscribed and liked
Very cool find!!
Compound Neatsfoot Oil container
My hope is, the owners of these houses will one day restore them !
The cart at 33:00 was probably to move Wool Bales around.
Paul, looks familiar to me. Somewhere out kapunda SA way ?? Reckon I have been there. You sound like an Adelaide guy. No offence. Really enjoyed the video btw. Cheers.
The small car at the beginning is a Mini, never seen one with quarter lights in the door like that our UK ones had sliding windows.
I think the Holden station wagon is an FB 1960. And the Holden Ute is the FC 1958.
Old holden parts are incredibly hard to find. It's a shame the FC's are left to rot.
Heintze's yard in Koonunga, SA, is being cleared out, hundreds of old cars, many of Holdens like those.
@rumetalhead more details of location of Heintzes please.
I think the header would be around 1978 onwards
There was lime in that one barn after over raising corn wow one car had be from 1920 it when grandparents where young wow kind cool see out side Old pic
That white wagon is a XR/XT Falcon
