It's hard to imagine the logistics involved in building these houses 100+ years ago. They're in the middle of nowhere. Roads might have been more like tracks. Basic transport. Probably railway used. No just popping up to Bunnings for some building needs. People were tough back then.
I really enjoy seeing these rural areas with the old farmhouses just sitting there abandoned waiting to be explored for a look at the past thanks for another wonderful video take care and Thank You.🇦🇺🤠👋🇦🇺
Hi Paul, that second one reminds me very much of our childhood’s old farmhouse from the now very distant past. It started off as a shepherd’s cottage in somewhere the 1860’s then grew into a four room crucible layout with that ‘Soldier Settlers’ roofline plus the low stuccoed parapet walls around those styled verandahs post WW1. Gave me the shivers as did living there actually. You’re correct with your 1920’s estimate.
Hi James :-) Cheers for the comments, do you know if your old farmhouse is still standing? Amazing how these old homes hold so many memories even when they have been long forgotten. Cheers mate :-)
🌟Hi Paul, wow a real step back in time I wonder what those walls would say if they could talk, hmm the holes in the ceiling? Yep definitely 💯 % has to be you know what holes 😉. So peaceful and quiet grass blowing in the wind. So sad to see the homes long forgotten. Thank you for the tour. 😊❤x
I really liked this one. I've seen a few with the louvers in the roof. Kinda sad that farmers don't like to spend dollars on the upkeep. Thanks for sharing Paul.
Hey Paul Thanks for another great video. One thing I love about all these old homes are the trees and garden plants still living. The beautiful old conifers are so reminiscent of these homes. I was at some old homestead ruins the other day. And took some cuttings from a very ancient oleander bush. I've planted them up. Who knows. I may get some long lost colour. 👍🍺🇦🇺
Wow, these two places have seen better days. Natural decay is slowly taking over. Yeah, that's a bit different with the concrete style of building. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
The first house appeared to be a "party house", the people there likely had some good times that I wouldn't have minded being a part of at all. The second house was a rare one, I've seen poured concrete basements but never the whole house. Thanks for the tours Paul! Stayin tuned! 👍🤠 🇺🇲 Note: 9:00 "Bad Company", an English rock band from the 70's. Their work can be found in a UA-cam search. Also Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Company
Boy, the zoom on your camera is just amazing. 15:50 That noise, was that the wind? If so it sounded kind of spooky. Second home, liked the color on the fireplaces.
Even if I had an abandoned old house not habitable on a property I would shut the doors so critters didn't poop in it. Silly but it just seems wrong somehow. I grew up on a farm where the old man improvised with things, so he would have found it handy for sheep sheltering in a storm or away from foxes. Man, he used to make some dodgy assed stuff though.
Hi MPCK :-) Yes the critters and wildlife sure do make these places their home once they are left to rot. Making dodgy stuff and improvising is farming life hey? haha :-)
These farmhouses need to be saved. It occured to me, that what if you were this persons great-grandchildren, and you knew your family had owned this home- how sad that would be. Once these homes are gone, nothing is left, but I would be fine living in those times. The first home I loved, minus the grow operation, the second, I have never seen a home with murals on the walls, either- most of the ones you film have had to concentrate on making a living, and wouldn't have had the money to bring all the things needed to pour a concrete home out in the middle of nowhere, much less paint murals on walls. Do you have any information on who owned the farm? Also, why are Peppercorn trees always near the farmhomes? Thanks for a great explore, as usual. I hope the cats are doing well!!!!--SDK
Hi SDK :-) Have no info on either of these ones and it would be great to see them saved but its a very unlikely prospect. The peppercorn tree is definitely an interesting question as to why but even my Mum`s homes which is mine now has one right at the back door! :-)
I'm surprised you don't wear gloves, you never know what poisons they used, back in the day. I'm enjoying watching these I've started from the last & am going back, back & back.Cheers from Jenny
urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this with me i really enjoyed this video about 2 Old farm houses long forgotten this was a real good video and i am from the U.S.A and thanks agin for sharing this and God Bless.
#2 was a beauty of old. It was a bit snazzy for its time out in the country. Is that wheat in the fields? If today's young ppl had to live and work thru these times, they'd have a greater appreciation of the luxuries we have today. And I mean from the early settlers days thru the 60's .. I was milking cows in the 60's .. where would we be without farmers and ranchers, the backbone of all our countries. Thanks Paul.
Hi Donna :-) Yes well said and I have imagined these very things while looking across the vast plains even today the nearest towns are not close! Cheers for watching :-)
I grew up only using the word Dunny for toilet. I first heard the word Loo at high school in the mid 70s when a class mate used it. I think she was trying to impress by using a term common in England. I suspect when these properties were in their heyday it was dunny that was used.
My granddad said stuff about the dunny man. They used to have outside pan toilets that the dunny can man used to empty & dispose of. We had outside toilets in the 80's in a rural area, 1 was the pit variety so dunny man was before my time. My kids refer to the toilet as a dunny & they don't know why. Loo is the polite word for toilet, I googled it's French origins gardyloo Loo, dunny, crapper-fromThomas Crapper the toilet inventor. All terms used. It just is.
Always wonder who lived in all these old places back in the day.Would be nice to add some family history of each home but I realise this would take a long time and alot of effort.UI:Have you ever been disturbed by someone when looking at homes?Must be abit scary I would think?
No we are in napperby few old houses up this way and augusta highway.. there was a run down abandoned church here. Someone purchased it and it is getting done up. Really enjoy your show btw
@@anitawilkinson2437 Oh cool, well I have been out that way kind of but will get back that way again now I think. Glad you are enjoying! Cheers for the support 🙂
You’re showing your youth Paul. Bad Co. is from Bad Company, the 70’s band, and Bron-yr Aur is a Led Zeppelin song. 😊
bron-yr aur stomp👌🏻
Oops! haha I should have known that :-) Cheers
These old homesteads are a National Treasure & should be Preserved so we don't lose our Aussie History & Heritage. 🦘
Well said Steve :-) I wish they could all be saved, cheers for watching

@@urbexindigo5164 Hi Paul It certainly is. I live directly adjacent to it. If you send me your email I’ll send you a photo.
I like how enthusiastic you get when you find an outhouse!!! I truly enjoy your videos ...Thank you

Hi Megan, yes these ones I filmed last year and very much out in the rural areas where it is all peaceful :-) Cheers again
What are the holes for?
@@izukubf power leads etc, maybe there was dope grown there in the past?
Poor old farmhouse. I bet if it could talk, there would be lots to say. Beautiful location. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! Nice opening shot. Looked like the intro to a ghost story 😮

Thank's for showing us another beautiful home.
Cement not very thick; no insulation. Must have very cold/hot inside.
You can see where the sheep have been rubbing against the walls in every building, even the out house.

Thanks for sharing these old houses. The last one is very unique. I like it best 👌 👍 😍
Man that second place was very stately looking it was big for a farm house 🏡😎 very cool 😎
urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this with me i really enjoyed this video about 2 Old farm houses long forgotten this was a real good video and i am from the U.S.A and thanks agin for sharing this and God Bless.
That old kitchen stove
might date back to
the 1920s. your videos
are very good thanks
for sharing them with
everyone. 👍🏼😃
Glad you like them! Cheers heaps for the support! :-)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes indeed.
Yep! A few of these old rural places I have thought that very same thing! :-)
Good video thanks.
More classics of, history, thank you. ❤
omgawd really really old ones.......luv
that 1st house looks like the roof has been replaced at some point looking at those roof tiles
Hi paul, enjoyed the 2 farm houses. So peaceful to have lived there. Cheers deb
Excellent video mate. Both houses a little bit creepy. Cheers 👍😎😉
How rude of them not to welcome into their house.😊
Hello great vidéo 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😺👋
Your opening shot was so beautiful
Very cool 😎💯 bad company is an old rock band
Great video enjoyed it 👍
Great video again thanks Paul. 😊
Grow house for sure, a really neat place though.

Great video, thanks for the tour 👍
I absolutely love your videos! Have you ever run across a snake while filming?
Not while filming but taking photos and driving. One was next to my foot once and slithered away backwards while watching me 😯
Must be off the beaten track. No grafitti.
These country, classics are great.just slowly rotting away...real shame....they had character, architecture,.rural beauty,s....
Totally agree Richard, It is always interesting to me no matter how worn they are :-)
Nossa,fico imaginando essas casas quando eram novas ,deviam de ver lindas ,mas tudo passa 😢🥰😘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
So in places like shown here, are the lands for sale or just being neglected by family or caught up in some sort of will/trust battles?
Just old original farm houses sitting on farm land now absorbed in to larger farms. They are just like a tree, they have no address anymore
Would you EXPLAIN why 2 names for a Toilet??? A LOU and Dunni
I grew up only using the word Dunny for toilet. I first heard the word Loo at high school in the mid 70s when a class mate used it. I think she was trying to impress by using a term common in England. I suspect when these properties were in their heyday it was dunny that was used.

Loo, dunny, crapper-fromThomas Crapper the toilet inventor. All terms used. It just is.
Hopper, john, crapper, commode, throne, shitter, porcelain god and many more that I can't think of at the moment.
👍🤠 🇺🇲
Toilet is called the head in the US navy.
Its Aussie when there's many names😂
My Dad called it the lavatory, library the thunder box. Us kids just called it the dunny, and still do.
haha! first comment, evening Mr Indigo x
Cheers missdemeanor, thanks for stopping bye again and watching Good evening to you too! :-)

Hi 🙂 yes bumped into squatters and copper hunters a few times but it was not hostile thankfully 😊
the second house would of been very fancy in it time
That sucks that someone would make it into a grow house...
Are you ever in the mid nth?
Hi Anita, yes sometimes. You are near Clare hey? I recall you asking another time in the comments :-)
No we are in napperby few old houses up this way and augusta highway.. there was a run down abandoned church here. Someone purchased it and it is getting done up. Really enjoy your show btw
@@anitawilkinson2437 Oh cool, well I have been out that way kind of but will get back that way again now I think. Glad you are enjoying! Cheers for the support 🙂
😊😊
Sombody should fix them up and sell them to sombody.
👍👏🇧🇷
What’s with the sheep being allowed to wander through properties. Annoying! They don’t need shelter inside as there is trees and sheds outside.
