- Hey house lovers and explorers! This old place started life as a small late Victorian farm cottage and had a federation extension in the early 1900`s. Who ever lived here last just took off one day and left it all behind.....Lots to see and look at in this explore including some wildlife! :-) Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Some folks ask why did people leave so much behind? To tell ya the truth sometimes you don't have room in your vehicle to take things thinking "well I'll come back and get it". I had a old farm house that I move from into town. My son and his family moved half way across the US and when they found a house in the town I lived in did not have room for all the things they had brought. So they stored alot of their things they did not need at the time in the old house. Time went by and they had replaced all the things they had stored in my barn. This month I made a deal to sell the old place and the buyer gave me two months to get everything out that I wanted because he was going to bulldoze the whole place down to build a commercial building. I asked my son if they wanted anything out of the old barn, his wife said if we had not gotten it 10 years ago we don't need it now.... That is why thing are left behind, no room to take it at the time and now no need to go back for it.
⁰
So many reasons this old place could have been left. People get old, people die and some move on. Cheers from Cali, USA 💜☮️
Hi Jana :-) Yes that is true. So many estates get left like this and with even more. Thanks for watching :-)
I'm always amazed how much people leave behind.
They left suddenly it seems Patti. Cheers :-)
Nothing needed if the occupant passed away.
True.
@@billstill1794 I don't think there was a single occupant, several beds, clothing from child to adult, items for same.....but, I also didn't see a space that could be defined as a "living room".
that big and boxy antenna is an old-style VHF TV antenna (they actually still make them like that), likely for receiving the Adelaide transmission way back when depending on the region
Cheers Shaun! Very rural area so they would have needed it :-)
Yes, looks like an old Hills CA16 antenna. They’re still in production.
@@epsilonvonvehron5820 Matchmaster still makes them like that too
Greetings from So Cal USA. I've missed you! I enjoy these beautiful old ladies vicariously through you. I'm very grateful! 😊
It always makes me wonder as I'm sure others as well..... why leave so much behind. I have moved my share in my life but I've never left anything behind. Anyways, beautiful setting. That's one thing about time...... It never turns around. Appreciate what you do for us.
Hi Slong8941, yes it was definitely a sudden decision to leave to not take much with you. Cheers for watching :-)
That's another fixer upper. It even comes with a microwave and cutlery and a variety of plates and pets. You could move in tomorrow. LOL Your first meal is flying around the rafters. Even comes with a toaster on the kitchen table and all the mod cons. The bathroom night need a touch of paint.
Haha, Andrew your optimism and glass half full assessment is perfect! Cheers for watching mate :-)
I adore the claw foot baths and the pedestal vanities . So sad this lovely treasure has Been left like this , if only these old treasures could talk . Maybe squatters lived there for a while 😢😢 Thanks Paul for another good One ,look forward to the next one .Di 🇦🇺👍
I love going along with you on your adventures, some of the homes are Amazing 😮 I wish I was their with you out in the Countryside. Thank you 😊
G'day sorry to say it but some live a nomad life style and everything is left behind when they leave, and mainly a mess, love your videos,cheers.
Hi Norsehall :-) Yes I think the last occupants were probably renting for cheap but the home originally was the old farmers. Cheers for watching :-)
Looks like there was more than one family living there to me; so many beds and bedrooms. I loved the kitchen, minus the pigeon, I thought the table and chairs excellent, and the turquoise paint 😍 and we can't ignore that claw foot tub!
Brilliant what a remarkable old home thank you Paul absolutely brilliant 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it Sue 😊 cheers for watching 🙂👍
Hahaha hahaha awesome 👌 video urbex cheers 🍻 to you love ❤️ your humor hahaha stay safe stay cool 😎
Great old home,with so much stuff left behind,I whonder why. I saw no living room 🤔but so much bed rooms. Thanks for another awesome video.Greetings fom Germany👋
Great explore Paul! I have a feeling that a family may have lived in there for a short time around 2007 as maybe squatters, or very cheap rent, after the original owners had passed on or retired. Old things out of the house were put on the back verandah. Part of the roofing iron looks like it was replaced just to keep the weather out. Yes, a very unusual vibe but a very interesting layout. Cheers again.
What an unusual layout. Perhaps modifications were made for a really big family. Did you count the number of beds including a folding cot in the pantry? The makeshift bedroom with laundry sink in it is interesting; house dresses hung next to a bed, nightstand and neatly stacked romance novels. The kitchen was terribly cute at one time. What a stylish blue bathroom with matching paint on the standing tub and basin How can you not smile at the parrot shower curtain? Somebody really cared about that house up to the end.
Hi Judith, yes definitely the right hand part of the home was added in the early 1900`s. Time is definitely letting nature claim her back now. Cheers for watching :-)
Hey Paul that AWA deep image was around 1993 I’m thinking definitely 90s model if it had the Channel selector knob I would say 80s. And wow that Heater was a Vulcan Tango fan heater. That cinematic shot of the entrance mate was outstanding need to learn some camera techniques of yah awesome work. Another old gem mate and I’ve never heard of that brand Westwood 23 is the size of the picture tube and this would be a early 70s valve set cool explore mate cheers for those cool old TVs
Hey Werner! Thought you would know about those TV`s, yeah the Westwood was pretty cool I thought. Those camera shots I just try and be steady/smooth and hope the auto focus does the rest!! lol :-) Your latest explore was done well mate, good job! ;-) Enjoyed it. Cheers for watching :-)
Westwood wasn't a TV brand; it was a model from Healing (the Healing badge was there in plain view).
I've got an old teac awesome tv it obviously can't do internet but what it can do never ceases to amaze me or the amount of them that were dumped for flat screens.
Pool ball triangle in the lean to....probably had a pool table. With all those beds and chairs I wonder if the house was used for farm hands. Don't sheep farmers hire men during peak shearing or lambing season?
Hi Andy, yes that does happen on sheep farms. This one seems to have been maybe a family with at least 3 children. Cheers :-)
This definitely was a cool explore, thanks Paul. I agree with your hypothesis that the 1900-1905 side has been added to an earlier cottage, the design cues certainly suggest that. The style of clothing suggest an older lady in the 80s along with younger people after that. With all of those beds, do you think it might’ve been used as a holiday house in later years? If it’s near the water or such, it might’ve been ideal to take the kids from the city over the school break.
The palm tree was interesting; I live in southern NSW, very much inland, and there are palm trees around the town. Having grown up in suburban Melbourne, palm trees were also used there as a decorative feature, particularly in municipal parks and developments. I wonder if the ‘South Pacific’ style of films of the 1920s and 1930s popularised them?
As an amateur student of Australian architectural I’m really enjoying your work; do you have a Patreon or another way that your work could be supported? For me, the 1989 book ‘A pictorial guide to identifying Australian architecture’ has been a regular read since I discovered it around 1998. Your videos have built upon this, not only showing the various styles but also the fascinating way that one style often blended into another, with older features still being used in newer homes as the designer or builder chose. Thanks again.
Hi Matt :-) Cheers mate, glad you love your architecture too, I will have to look that book up, I have recently got a couple of older books specific to Adelaide`s progression in architecture but honestly I have learnt the most from being out in these homes and correlating the known build dates with the features. Yes agree about the palm trees, these old homesteads definitely see a lot with them as a statement feature in front of the home. Glad you are enjoying these video, have many more on the way with a lot of interesting old build qualities :-)
what a very cool find thank you for sharing these old homes with us
What a fabulous house!!! hopefully i'm going to find some time to binge watch. I've been busy looking for work, but now i have a new job, I'm busy settling in and finding a new routine. happy Sunday and enjoy!!! thanks for the walk through.
Hi Heather, glad you enjoyed. Well done and good luck with your new job! Cheers for watching :-)
My mum have a bed that once was her mum and dads and i was wedding gift and it was made in the second world war and the bed was made of wooden crates or pallets with rope to hold together so the whole bed have never been changed or upgrade since its been made and i like to say it's still comfy to sleep on
Another really nice looking house
left abandoned and sitting empty
it is in a very nice area with a lot
of beautiful scenery another great

Thank You very much.🤠

🌟what a beautiful old gem still has lots of character and charm beautiful colour glass lots of things left behind you always wonder why. Thank you again 🌟😊❤️x :-)
Glad you enjoyed it Megan. Lots of charm still for sure. Cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 yes I did very much :-)
Cool, explore with stuff just left behind.. pigeons take up residence, and it's a nasty site to see. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
I was thinking it was a grandparents home who were raising grandkids with all the beds. Womens clothing looked like a grandma style and I also noticed in the kitchen cabinets there appeared to be a homemade coffee cup with the letter G on it...maybe for grandma or grandpa? Perhaps they passed and the home was left as is? Fun to make up scenarios😂 Hello Paul from Arizona USA 35:38
Off to google that old tv,, another great job 👏 thanks buddy.
Cheers buddy! :-)
I enjoyed this one I always try to picture who used to live there, and why they just leave things behind. Thanks for sharing
Just wondering if this was used for seasonal workers to live as there seem to be a lot of beds in the place and also chairs. Also there seemed to be a mixture of clothing etc
Very interesting, thank you. Subscribed.
Hi Katt 😊 welcome to the channel, thanks for watching and subbing! 👍😁
Love that old place very cool 😎👍 nice find
Glad you enjoyed Jerrold, cheers for watching :-)
Wow creepy! You are braver than me going in these homes. 😊😊😊
I have seen this here in Victoria, where the farm house was abandoned either by someone getting too old to live out of town or home unsuitable or even death. Then the house has renters who trash it and after that it’s left as is. Property is often used for simply grazing sheep or cattle and sometimes squatters come in. I guarantee the belongings are from the late eighties to very early nineties.
I metal detect and see old properties, but I am often too scared to explore them. If you are ever down this way I can give you a few. Also, Melbourne outskirts have a lot as there is new estates being built and the old farms are all getting bulldozed 😢
Cheers Selina 👍😊 you should metal detect and expkore them for sure. Yes 90s seems to be the main timeframe these old farm houses were vacated 👍
I like your camera work and narration! Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it Aminah :-) Thanks for watching
Beautiful old home, another great explore and video thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed it guys! Cheers for watching :-)
Was getting impatient,😂😂
LOL ... I rushed to be first and ya beat me!😂
@@kenem1946 ha , sorry buddy. Right place right time . Always look forward to his uploads
@@ghostrider9978 😁 👍
hey paul this was one golden oldy farm villa lot of old stuff left behind and clothing mainly womens by the looks and lots of junk on the out side most likely was very nice in it hey days now its just turning to rubble and falling apart nice exploration paul thanks for sharing another great video cheers mate.
An old original cottage added on to in the 1900s, still amazes me how long its stood the test of time.
Waving a hand from new Mexico USA
Cheers from South Australia mate :-)
Judging by the lack of men's clothing, the old boy died some years before his wife, with their kids moving her out into a care home prior to her death later in the decade. The home being in such poor shape, they simply abandoned it to the elements. Maybe not...😁
Pretty good assessment. Cheers OW :-)
Hi Paul. This was a very odd find. Made me feel kinda sad, don't have a clue why. Thank you for sharing this. Take care. ❤
Hi Cynthia, yes it did have a sad and somewhat eerie feeling as I walked through. Thanks for watching :-)
It does look like they left pretty quickly. I didn't see many masculine items/ clothes. Lovely house. Thanks for the video x
Finding the long way home…. 🎶
As ever,,,a absolute superb tour,, filmed to perfection
this farm "Sheep maybe",,, no farm machinery,,,
in its day quite a spread",,,,, shame,,, it will collapse 07 isn't long-ago really,,,,, i lived on a farm originally built around 1800
when my folks emigrated to the US from England
pioneers they were,,,, middle America was still wild open country many hazards ,,,,, a was Australia in 1800s
comparisons very similar ok Paul seeya buddy keep safe
Ed ,,,,,, USA
Cheers Rd, great to see you in the comments mate as last week too! Yeah this one has declined pretty quick but I suspect it was well on its way while they were in there. 😁👍
great country explore, very interesting house, thanks
Love it!!😊 Thank you 😊
Cheers for watching Deborah :-)
Great explore. Lots to look at.
Good find.
Glad you enjoyed :-)
At our old family farm in central Victoria we had the same harware on the doors, my brothers had the same single beds until they upgraded and then the beds were reused in the shearing shed. We even had the same old bath, was the best as it was so deep.
I owned that exact same ‘games compendium’ as a youngster
I wonder how many lived there, sure seemed like a lot of beds and mattresses.
Thanks for the tour paul!
🤠👍
I think this is where Ma and Pa Kettle and children ended up :-)
Interesting explore! I think you may be right by thinking that the ceiling may have collapsed and it was then just time to vacate immediately!
Its sad to see but also fascinating! Greetings from Sweden.
Very interesting explore. For me anyway and far from eerie, this was an appealing house and I imagine it was a lovely home in it’s heyday.
Thank you for the tour! Great explore. The birds have it now. Haha
I counted 7 beds, not including a couple of mattresses on the floor. I just wonder why so many?? Lots of kids maybe? Seems like it was definitely offering accommodation to quite a few people.
Beautiful long vistas but it has a look of loneliness. Thanks for another very interesting explore…the house grew as the residents grew in number😊
The palm tree really stands out as a ring-in. Intriguing explore.
What a wonderful explore , thank you , so many beds ,, they did remind me of some videos you have done before where you said in it's last years it was used for workers ? x
That was some TV for the day, eh! ☺
Those clothes hanging on the door by the kitchen would have given me a heart attack, I briefly jumped watching.
The book was published in 1979.
Cheers Barry :-)
I Suspect someone was removed to hospital, and never returned.. from the appearance of the drawers, there may have been an extensive search for a will, papers, or other items. If that was a T V mast, it was certainly a fringe area Without repeaters, the best you could hope for from early equipment was 60 to 70 miles.. A large mast might get about 90 or 100 miles. Interesting to see the way a small cottage was adapted for a larger family.
Are there a lot of wild sheep over there or all the dead sheep you see once belonged to a farmer
Not really wild ones mate but some do get lost and wander in to these old places.
Lovely old house. Makes me wonder why so much stuff is left behind. If the occupants passed on you would think that the family would have cleaned everything out, if people had moved on they would have taken their belongings. It just doesn't make sense as to why so much is left inside. Thanks for the tour.
I love vidéo bravo❤👍😺👋
At 16:51 when you were in the kitchen, I didn't see a fridge.
Only thing i can say is they probly got kicked out by the owner.?Or got deported back where they originated from. Love this old home inside rroms looks kool. that ol tv west something is around 50s to 60s model. Thank you for this wonderful explore and the sight looks amazing views .
What a nice older house 🏠. But where is the refrigerator. ❤
Maybe someone made use of it and took it away.
How good is Google Satellite view in Australia??
A property like this, would be interesting to look at on satellite.
Aren't you guys in your winter right now??
He doesn't give the locations out unfortunately
@@ACDZ123I know that, but I wonder if there was a Google image available, if it would show more details and potentially answer some of the questions about the property.
Not sure thats a radio tower - looks like the TV towers we all had around the Mid North to get Adelaide TV
When I was homeless I realised that if you can't carry it you don't need it.
A great explore as always.
A small observation that I thought was a little odd is that at 19:38, we see a full page Holden advert in a newspaper on the kitchen table, that appears suspiciously clean compared to the surroundings. No pigeon poo or dust at all... what are your thoughts?
Will have a closer look at my still shots 👍 maybe the breeze has turned a page or something
Did a older couple owned the house
Yes I think so Anita at some stage for sure :-)
There are so many that are poor or homeless and these houses are left to waste away… 🥀
Houses in the middle of nowhere are no good for homeless people.
Squatters obviously in that first room. I would think that the owner just didn't take off - probably died and the property is in probate or there were no relatives found - if any. It's a shame that the place was pilfered and tossed like a salad. All that pigeon crap is gross - I'm surprised you walked through it and even touched items covered in it. Whew!
Sad everything left
Cheers Sharon :-)
Such a shame they let these old houses go. Wonder what happened to the family and why they left all their stuff behind. You missed the newspaper on the kitchen table, it would have had a date on it. Great find and thank you, much love from Newcastle. Didn’t see a loungeroom, such a strange place
He said the newspaper was dated 2007.
@@janetpendlebury6808 oh I must have missed that, thanks
I reckon squatters were in there until they got discovered then they did a runner. People gotta live somewhere
Hi Paul
Have been enjoying you content.
I am a landscape photographer from the Blue Mountains NSW and I have just started
a 4 year project on photographing abandoned old farm houses in the Central West of NSW.
I don't need to know the locations of your finds.However if possible I would like to know
what platform or research instruments you use to find these locations.
I do use Google Earth plus good old driving around trying to locate these mentioned places.
Cheers
Sniper Photography.
Hi Sniperphotography 🙂 hey great stuff glad you are going to document these old places too. Yeah I pretty much use Google to scout potential locations and usually find a few extras on the drive out to check them 😁 some of the best I have found by accident. If your on FB msg my page 😁👍
@@urbexindigo5164 thanks Paul
Will do.The project will be made into a book on this very subject.
I am a commercial photographer by profession and shooting landscapes are my passion.
Thank you for your response.
There is a lot off beds left they might have had a lot off kids
I was a weird place not sure about all the clothes everywhere but they grabbed a few things and ran out the door and why was there so many beds no lounge room chairs to sit on but heaps of dining room chairs I don't know it just looked like something bad happened there or that I've been watching too many paranormal and crime videos lol
Someone could have wanted the table and chairs etc, but not many people want that many bed. Remaining family took just what was useful to them maybe.
Grandma and Grandpa have left the building. And they will not return.
You ever going to come to the states and do any urbexing
Blood pigeons !!! - Flying rats - they destroy everything.
Well not proud to say so I do love bold and the beautiful love it still watch not the same ridge as that one but same Brooke it's just one of those shows you can take your brain out and put it on the coffee table and not think of day to day life
I love your content, but this house is too much for me. My germaphobia is off the charts with this one.
not interesting
It looked like longer than 2007 that the old girl was abandoned. Who knows! Interesting explore, thank you so much for time and effort you put into your video's to show how old farms and houses looked like back in the day. 🦘🤔🥰
I know you don’t disclose the location of your explores , but u could say which state your in, or how far you are from a town! Maybe ? Cheers ,❤️🦘🦘🦘
