Thanks what a wonderful transformation / restoration. To have the vision to see what a wonderful house it could become again requires some artistic talent. Great to see another beautiful Queenslander saved with your insightful input.
great video 👍🏻 very well researched ☝️ thanks for sharing your knowledge and findings 🙏 i love this type of historical content. And a “rescue cat” 🤠 literally
It's been 100 years since the last Cobb & Co coach run (1924). I had completely forgotten until your video reminded me. My grandmother was on that coach.
Its always good to see old houses become new again, balustrade's that pretty cool, was that the your earring theme this time 'The Balustrades', another great video, keep up the great work there
What an amazing house rescue! A stunning restoration! BTW, Ancestry says that Kiora is an Aboriginal word for greetings, but I think they might be confusing it with the Maori greeting 'kia ora'.
……apologies’ in advance for this kinda off topic info……… The house which used to be at 142 Gladstone Road, Highgate Hill, was a very old, beautiful one. When it was demolished, I kept a pottery roof tile, which had the wording, ‘Marseilles 1911’ on it. I know the house next door, at #138, is still standing, but has had two huge renovations done to it, in 1967, & mid-2000’s. The cement, posts’ under house, were put in by my father, & grandfather in the late 1950’s. There maybe still some timber posts kept, too. It was a beautiful property, with huge rose gardens’ at the back. They all went in the earlier restoration………
@@thehousedetective ……yes, it was! It was built in 1911. From Gladstone Rd, the property slopped steeply down to a gully. My Aunt’s house was behind us, so we’d just climb over the back fence to go there. Again, my father, & grandfather put those in…………
KYE ORA. Learn pronunciation. Youre doing the places disservice. And the history includes the name andnmeaning behind which is VERY easy to find out and plenty of houses and properties are named KIORA.

How wonderful! What a great memento to have! Sounds like it was a wonderful house and garden!

I always think the old houses look more mysterious if they are a little bit shabby
Me too! They kinda lose some creepy charm when they’re renovated don’t they!
Mandalay is in Myanmar (Burma) and Mandalay Palace was the residence of the last King.

Kia'ora? - NZ Mauri greeting
That’s what I thought initially too! Maybe that’s what they meant and they spelt it wrong? 🤔
What an amazing storey!

Pretty sure its pronounced HIGHrum Barnes. 😊

Ok, no need to be so rude about it
